Hey everyone! Happy Thursday – and happy June!

I definitely have some favourite companies and products in the crafting industry, and have been lucky enough to work with many of both! Today I get to combine two of my favourite things – Pinkfresh Studio, and stamps!

Pinkfresh Studio are always on the cutting edge of trendy, so when I knew we were going to have a release dedicated exclusively stamps and dies, it sent my heart racing! We all know that they absolutely *rock* the paper collections, so I couldn’t wait to see what this special release would hold! And it does not disappoint! There’s something for everyone in this mega collection of 7 stamps and 8 dies!

To celebrate the occasion we are of course having an amazing Blog Hop, chock full of fantastic inspiration and awesome giveaways!! More on that later! First, some creations to whet your appetite…

My first card features a really on trend item – cacti! Succulents and cacti are still rocking it big on the trends, and this Simply Succulents set features a well-rounded collection of these little plants, together with a variety of sentiments, which combine together to suit a range of occasions!

I stamped several of the cacti onto my card base, heat embossed them with white embossing powder, then watercoloured over them with my Gansai Tambi watercolours in tones of black and forest green. This makes for a great and trendy masculine card!

I get a real kick from this punny sentiment! I heat embossed it with copper embossing powder to up the trend factor! My cacti also had a level-up, by including little flowers (from the Say It With Florals set) and heat embossed them in rose gold embossing powder!

Gotta love the depth of tone and colour in this design!

Next up, I went bright and cheerful and celebratory:

Gah! I think I’m gonna die from cuteness overload!

I used the bear from the Forest Friends set and used him to hold my fun sign, which I made by putting together sentiments from this set and from the Let’s Celebrate set!

I stamped the balloons in shades similar to the colours they would be, then coloured them with Copics before fussy cutting them out and giving them to my bear to hold! Doesn’t he look adorable with his sign, balloons, and colourful ink blended background – complete with stars and splatters!!

Super cute!!
