Pinkfresh Create and Connect Event 2022, Finale

Day 2
Class 5, Summer Blooms

Our last class for the event was Summer Blooms. This set does not include a stamp, but consists of layering stencils and a die. I have to admit, I was kind of lost, skipping what is usually the first step, stamping. But as you can see by the finished cards, it was pretty okay not having a stamp to start with. And our teacher Angela Simpson was so fun to work with.

For our first card we made used not just the Summer Blooms stencils and die, but also this super delicate gazebo die. This die could also be used as a birdcage or church, I think. With the right elements you can make it anything you want to really. Here's how we used it with this set. 

Behind the panel with the gazebo and foliage, we added a second panel dry embossed with Geo Arch hot foil plate.

Isn't it so cute. It makes it easy to add dimension to your card without foam tape too. Simply tuck the foliage, flowers, or whatever your element is, into the gazebo and and leave some out. Done. 

The sentiment is from the Foiled Sentiments pack that was part of the event kit. These are much larger than the first foiled sentiment pack.

Class 5, Card 2
This time we made a horizontal oriented mini slimline card using the Mini Slimline Frame dies, and heat embossed the sentiment in the center of the window. This sentiment is from the Heart Smiles sentiment stamp set from the kit. 

Love the iridescent clear drops in this kit. They will be used a lot on future projects you can be sure. 

Make n Take
For our extra credit project, we again used the gazebo die with the foliage but in a totally different, and extra cheerful way, inking each of the leaf sets in a different rainbow color. 

The foiled sentiment is another from the included pack... 

...and after I thought I was finished, I used Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the sun for a little more blingy look.

Whew! And there you have it. A really, really full weekend of crafty goodness from Pinkfresh Studio. Let me tell you, I slept so well those two nights having to get up earlier than usual for class! It really wore me out truth be told. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. These virtual events are so much fun for me. There isn't anything local, so attending crops or conventions is not something I'm able to enjoy.
