Hey there! It’s been a week packed with Pinkfresh new release celebrations, and I’ve got one more card to show you using (as the title suggests) another hot foil plate!

Following my post from last week, I’ve got another card to share with you that features two of my favorite stamp sets in Pigment Craft Co’s new May release. But first, a little story to preface this card… As a kid, my dream job was to be a baker. I remember going to the grocery […]

Earlier this month, one of my nearest and dearest friends, Ivana, launched Pigment Craft Co. Pigment is a small, totally on-trend and Canadian-owned (eh!) papercrafting […]
Happy almost-weekend! In the spirit of celebration, today I’ve got a fun birthday shaker card to share that features the Pinkfresh Studio Seamless Starburst Circles stamp set and layering stencils.

Hi friends! Today I’ve got a card to share that I’ve created as part of the Pinkfresh Studio “Inspired By” Challenge for February. This is my first time playing along, and if it’s yours too, I’ll give you the gist… Each month, Pinkfresh shares one card and one scrapbook layout designed by team members. The […]
