Pinkfresh Studio | “Pure Bliss” Release Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY!

February 11, 2025

Hello crafty friends! Come hop along with me for the Pinkfresh Studio “Pure Bliss” Release Blog Hop! Make sure to leave a comment along each stop of the hop for a chance to win one of ten $50 Gift Certificates! Also, one lucky winner will win the ENTIRE Pure Bliss Release on the Pinkfresh Studio blog.

I created two cards today that feature both the new Cherry Bliss Stamp, Stencil, and Die Set as well as the beautiful new Scalloped Grid Coverplate Die Set.

I first stamped my images onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink. Once the ink was dry, I then used the Cherry Bliss Stencil Set along with some ink blending brushes to add my colors. Once finished, I die cut. my image and placed it onto my card background that I had layered with the Scalloped Grid as well as some ovals from the Essentials: Nested Oval Double Stitch Die Set.

  • Red Cherries: Passion Fruit, Berrylicious, Candy Apple, Gathered Twigs
  • Greens: Grassy Knoll, Key Lime
  • Pinks: Ballet Slipper, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum

I completed my second card in a similar manner except that I used the previously released Essentials Stitched Scalloped Circle Die Set. Both of my sentiments were heat embossed with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder on black card stock and cut out using the coordinating dies.

– Pinkfresh Studio will give away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog and YouTube channel. 

-They will also give away TEN $50 gift cards along the hop. As usual with blog hops, the winners will be selected from the comments.

– Pinkfresh Studio will pull the winners and post them on February 19, 2025, on their GIVEAWAY PAGE. You must check that page and claim their prize within 2 weeks.

      Hi Janea! Thank you so much for your sweet comments! I just updated my product list. The green card stock colors that I used were Sage Leaf from Lawn Fawn (the lighter green card stock shown in the background) and the darker green is called Fern from Spellbinders. Please feel free to message me directly if you have any questions! ☺️💕
