I took a little break from Stamptember creating for Simon Says Stamp to enter their Wednesday challenge. The theme is summertime blues featuring Pinkfresh Studio. I’ve come to thoroughly adore the time I spend stamping, stenciling, and die cutting with their products.
This card features plenty of Pinkfresh Studio’s products. I used the largest of the Elegant Circles dies. I stacked 2 and then added foam tape to the back. I also used the stamp, stencil and die bundle from All Kinds of Wonderful to create the 4 flowers that make up the bouquet. I used a variety of pale blue inks, one tan, and a green from Tim Holtz, Stampin’ Up! and Concord & 9th for the colors.
For the background I took a 4.25 x 5.5” piece of Neenah Classic Crest 110lb coverstock and ink blended C9’s Powder ink from the bottom right corner to the top left. Then I took the Pinkfresh Studio Floral Lattice coverplate die and cut it. This took a bit of weeding to make it look like it should. Next time I cut it, I will make sure I have a tight sandwich for my die cutting machine. I backed this with a Neenah white cardbase.
I added the Pinkfresh Studio sentiment from the stamp and die set Beyond Happy just where the stems meet at the bottom of the circle (I love these circles).
Finally, I added some sequins to the card for a little sparkle. Sadly, several of these Pinkfresh products have retired and are not available from many retailers. But, many other stamps, dies and sentiments would work.
I am also entering Time Out Challenge #319 with the Pick 2 of Floral and Birthday.

It won’t be long before the Cherry Blossoms begin to bloom in the eastern US. I love seeing pictures of these gorgeous trees, but I have not yet seen them in person.
Today’s card features the Papertrey Ink Into the Blooms: Cherry Blossoms die set. I cut the flowers from white and several shades of coral and peach cardstock. I also inked the edges of the white pieces with a delicate colored ink from Concord & 9th called Nectar.
I created the cloud background using a homemade stencil I created many years ago plus Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.
The Simon Says Stamp Celebrate sentiment is fantastic for so many different occasions.
