Pinkfresh Studio | Hugs & Happy Thoughts

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Pinkfresh Studio for a fun Instagram Hop today to continue the celebrations for the May 2026 release. For my card today I am using the new Bloom & Buds suite. I am using the stamp, die and stencils. There is also a press plate, but I am not using that today. 

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

I started off by stamping the image from the Pinkfresh Studio Bloom & Buds Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink. I then placed the Pinkfresh Studio Bloom & Buds Stencils over the top, one by one, adding ink blending using Pinkfresh Studio 1/2" Blending Brushes to add colour to the image. 

I used Pinkfresh Studio Sweet Mustard, Apricot and Bubble Gum Inks for the flowers, and Key Lime and Olive Inks for the stems and leaves. The image was then die cut out using the Pinkfresh Studio Bloom & Buds Die. I die cut a Pinkfresh Studio Double Stitched Elongated Oval Die from white cardstock and adhered the floral image on top using thin foam tape. 

I created a US A2 sized (4.25" x 5.5") card base from Pinkfresh Studio Heat-Resistant Acetate Sheets and adhered the oval on top using more thin foam tape. I then cut another three ovals to adhere inside the card and on the back to cover up the adhesive and give me somewhere to write a message. 

I stamped a sentiment from the Pinkfresh Studio Bloom & Buds Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink and die cut it out using the coordinating die. I cut the die again from white cardstock and adhered it to the back of the stamped one before adhering onto the card using a combination of Pinkfresh Studio Precision Clear Craft Glue and thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Pinkfresh Studio Iridescent Dew Drops.
