Pinkfresh Studio | Sunlit Manor May 2026 Release Blog Hop

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Pinkfresh Studio today to celebrate the Sunlit Manor May 2026 release with a fun and inspirational blog hop. I have two cards to share with you today using two different product suites. 

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


LEMON BLOSSOM CREST


My first card uses the new Lemon Blossom Crest suite. The suite consists of a stamp set, die set, stencils and a press plate set. I started off by stamping the image from the Pinkfresh Studio Lemon Blossom Crest Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink. I then placed the stencils over the top, one by one, to add colour to the image using ink blending. 


I used Pinkfresh Studio Inks in Sunshine and Sweet Mustard for the lemons, Grassy Knoll and Key Lime for the leaves, Sparkling Rose for the flowers, Warm Buff for the wreath/crest base, and Waterfall and Turquoise for the ribbon bow. 


It was die cut out using the Pinkfresh Studio Lemon Blossom Crest Die. I took an A2 sized white card base and die cut a Pinkfresh Studio Double Stitched Elongated Oval Die from it, overlapping the top of the oval with the edge of the card base, so that not only is the fold intact, the top of the oval gets cut off. I then cut a little off the bottom of the back panel of the card so that it can stand up nicely. 


The wreath/crest was adhered on top using thin foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink. It was die cut out and adhered to the centre of the wreath using thin foam tape. To finish, I added a Pinkfresh Studio Iridescent Dew Drop to the centre of the bow. 

CARDINAL KISS


My second card today uses the Cardinal Kiss suite. This consists of a stamp set, die set, stencils and press plate set. I started off by stamping the image from the Pinkfresh Studio Cardinal Kiss Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink


I placed the stencils on top, one by one, to add ink blending to colour the image in. I used Pinkfresh Studio Hydrangea and Summer Shower Inks for the petals, and Grassy Knoll and Key Lime Inks for the stem and leaves. It was die cut out using the Pinkfresh Studio Cardinal Kiss Die Set


I created another card base the same as I did for the first card (but this time using it landscape format) using the Pinkfresh Studio Double Stitched Elongated Oval Dies and adhered the flower on top using thin foam tape, cutting the excess stem off the bottom using scissors. 


I stamped a sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio Cardinal Kiss Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating die. I cut the die again from white cardstock and adhered it behind the stamped one for added dimension. It was adhered to the card using a combination of Pinkfresh Studio Precision Clear Craft Glue and thin foam tape. To finish, I added black dots using a fine liner pen.
