Pinkfresh Studio | Gather & Bloom October 2026 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I'm delighted to be joining Pinkfresh Studio today to celebrate the Gather & Bloom October 2026 release with a fun blog hop. I am using the new Sweet Bloom suite today which is a stencil and die suite, and I went a bit moody with my colour palette! 

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

I started off my card by placing the Pinkfresh Studio Sweet Bloom Stencils onto a panel of white cardstock, one by one, to add ink blending with Pinkfresh 1/2" Blending Brushes and Pinkfresh Studio Inks. 

I used Hydrangea and Opulence inks for the petals and Detail Black ink for the leaves and stems. I then die cut it out using the Pinkfresh Studio Sweet Bloom Die which adds lots of detail to the image with cut and embossed lines. 

I took a panel of white cardstock and cut one of the Pinkfresh Studio Nested Hexagons Double Stitch Dies in the centre (but a little lower vertically). I placed the image inside the aperture and held it in place with low-tack tape. The panel and image were then adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape. The low-tack tape was then removed. 

I stamped the 'happy birthday' sentiment from the Pinkfresh Studio Petite Florals Stamp onto white cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black Hybrid Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and then the die cut again from white cardstock and adhered behind the stamped one (for dimension), before adhering to the card. To finish, I embellished with Pinkfresh Studio Iridescent Dew Drops.
