Pink & Main Instagram Hop & Giveaway!

The Pink & Main January release is here! There are adorable new goodies for your spring and Easter cards, with new stamps, dies, embellishments, and fun things to foil - some with coordinating stencils, too!

And since it’s January, we are introducing our new monthly series for 2025! This is the new January Mouse. This is a small stamp set that includes the mouse, chick, two eggs, butterfly and a few sentiments.

The light pink background has been dry embossed with a basket pattern. I topped that with the new Stitched Oblong Oval. This is a nested set and you can cut as many or as few as you like. I wanted to repeat the stripe pattern on the eggs so I did three layers in colored cardstock.

I added a twine bow along the top to look like it might be holding up the sentiment strip, and little butterflies flit about. Do you love those pink gems? They're new too!

Are you ready to see more made with this new release?

A Ray of Sunshine

I don't know about you, but I'm in need of a sweet escape from these cold winter days! I found a rainbow in the Pretty Little Studio You Are My Sunshine Collection!

The rainbow papers are gorgeous but don't forget the packaging! This color wheel was printed on the insert paper in a die cut pack! I love that I can use the packaging papers in my designs and that it reduces waste in the environment.

I added embellishments in black to add some contrast to the design and help them stand out against the rainbow background.

   

The flowers and butterflies are adhered with adhesive foam tape to make them "pop:" off the background and add dimension.

If you're starting to feel the winter blues, I invite you to explore the different paper collections from Pretty Little Studio. I'm sure you'll find something that makes your heart smile!

Snow-Body Like You!

Today I'm playing along at Crazy is Our Fame, Stencils Are Our Game where the January challenge is Hello/Winter. You're to use the word "hello" on the card and/or make a winter design.. .and of course.. Use a Stencil!

This snowman design is entirely stenciled using the Waffle Flower Oversized Snowman. Since most of the card remains white you just ink the background, earmuffs, scarf and facial features.

To add a pattern to the scarf I inked the scarf in red, and then added a snowflake pattern stencil over scarf stencil. I inked in a darker shade so it is subtle like a watermark.

The rosy cheeks were added with a dauber dipped in Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

The sweet sentiment is from the Snow Cheer stamp set. I love the script font that looks handwritten.

Hugs to you and STAY WARM!
