Pinkfresh Studio | Twinkle & Tradition August 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Pinkfresh Studio today to celebrate the Twinkle & Tradition release with a fun blog hop. The release is Christmas and holiday themed and so very beautiful! I have a card and ornament to share today but I will be back tomorrow sharing more inspiration too! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

My card and ornament today both use the new Pinkfresh Studio Tied with Cheer Die & Stencil Bundle. There are three different wreath designs in the set, plus stencils to ink blend the bow and then the die to cut it out too. 

For the card, I started off by die cutting the three wreaths from the Pinkfresh Studio Tied with Cheer Die & Stencil Bundle from white cardstock. I then added ink blending to them using Pinkfresh Studio Inks in Mermaid Cove for the bottom layer, Grassy Knoll for the middle layer, and Ocean Breeze for the top layer. 

For the bow, I used Pinkfresh Studio Inks in Waterfall, Turquoise and Paradise. I then used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also cut it again another two times from white cardstock and adhered them onto the back of the stencilled one, for added dimension. 

I adhered the wreath layers, one by one, onto a white 4.5" x 4.5" card base using Pinkfresh Studio Precision Clear Craft Glue. I added the glue to the main body of the wreath layers and left the leaf pieces without glue, so that I could lift them up to create a little more dimension. The bow was then adhered at the top. 

I took the 'Warm Holiday Wishes' sentiment from the Pinkfresh Studio Once Upon a Holiday Press Plate set and hot foiled it onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was then die cut out using the coordinating Pinkfresh Studio Once Upon a Holiday Die. I cut the die another two times from white cardstock and adhered them behind the foiled one before adhering to the card. 

To finish, I embellished with Pinkfresh Studio Dew Drops: Iridescent embellishments, adhering with Precision Clear Craft Glue. 

I thought the wreath would look lovely as an ornament too, so I die cut the layers from Pinkfresh Studio Tied with Cheer again. This time for the ink blending I used Pinkfresh Studio Inks in Mermaid Cove for the bottom layer, Grassy Knoll for the middle layer, and Fresh Pear for the top layer. 

I then took the tree stencils from Pinkfresh Studio Holiday Express Stencils and placed them onto a panel of white cardstock. I added ink blending using Pinkfresh Studio Inks in Grassy Knoll, Key Lime, Olive and Mermaid Cove for the trees themselves. I used Doe and Gathered Twigs for the tree trunks. I then die cut them out using the Pinkfresh Studio Holiday Express Die. 

I die cut a Pinkfresh Studio Essentials: Double Stitched Circle Die from acetate that was just slightly bigger than the inside of the wreath dies. I then adhered the wreath dies on top, using Pinkfresh Studio Precision Clear Craft Glue, leaving a gap at the top without glue so that I could tie thread through it. I then adhered the trees inside the wreaths. 

To finish, I embellished with Pinkfresh Studio Clear Drops: Ice embellishments. I then threaded DMC Diamant Metallic Thread (Light Silver) through the wreaths, and tied in a loop at the top, so that it could be hung up. I also tied some of the thread into a bow and then adhered the bow on top.
