Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio October 2020 Slimline Stamp, Die, and Stencil Release Blog Hop!
Today I'm sharing two slimline cards using brand new stamps, dies, and stencils fro the Pinkfresh Studio October 2020 Release! This release is full of amazing slimline style stamps, dies, and even stencils! I'm using the brand new You Are My Favorite Stamp Set, coordinating die, and You Are My Favorite Stencils for my cards. The flowers were "colored" by using the layering stencils, Pinkfresh Studio inks, and blender brushes! Easy peasy! Gotta love that!

The floral image from the You Are My Favorite Stamp Set was stamped on smooth white cardstock with black ink. This is a great card to create "assembly-line" style. You could stamp and stencil a bunch of these to create easy card fronts!
I used the Slim Diagonal Stripes Die to create my own stencil for the background.
The background was inked with a combination of Ballet Slipper and Raspberry Bliss inks.
A sentiment from the You Are My Favorite Stamp Set was stamped on vellum with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The greeting was die cut with a Basic Label Frames Die. A "frame" was die cut from gold mirror cardstock using two of the dies. The frame was glued over the vellum and the entire greeting was adhered over the floral design.
The flower was adhered over the stenciled background with foam adhesive and finished with a scattering of jewels.
The You Are My Favorite Stencils were used with the following Pinkfresh Studio Inks to add color to the second stamped image:
Coral Reef
Candy Apple
Lemon Whip
Sweet Mustard
Peach Fuzz
Persimmon
Olive
The second card was finished the same as the first.
The finished size of my slimline cards measure 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".

Today we have a special mini hop showcasing the incredible October Card Kit of the Month! I thought it would be fun to create a non-traditional colors fall card inspired by the patterned papers from the kit. I also thought it would be fun to use dies and a stencil from the brand new Make Merry Release for this slimline paper pieced fall card!
The mushrooms, pumpkin, and owl from the 6x8 Happy Fall Y'all Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock. The mushrooms, banner, and owl were stamped on Simple Stories Cozy Days Double Sided Papers. The scarf for the owl was paper pieced and glued in place on the white cardstock owl. The mushrooms were also paper pieced and adhered to the white cardstock mushrooms.
The owl was colored with Copic Markers in W1, W5, W6, and W7 with YR04 for the nose and R81 for the cheeks and eyelids.
The pumpkin was colored with E40, E43, E44, and E47.
The banner was colored with R81, R83, and R56.
The images were all fussy cut and adhered to the card as shown.
The slimline panel was adhered to a white slimline cards base to finish the design.

I created two slimline style scenic cards for you today with a couple of new stamp/die combos form the release. Both card feature no-line coloring with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, a die cut Waffle Flower Modern Neutrals Patterned Paper background (the white on white really sets off the coloring) and a die cut border created with a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Marquee Die. Each card features one stamp/die combo! Got to love a card that can be completed with one stamp set!
Greetings from the stamp set were stamped on the cheese with black Versafine Onyx Black Ink and on the sign with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Snowflake and mini star confetti embellishments were added to the background for a touch of sparkle. Honey Gold Nuvo Crystal Drops were added to the center of the snowflakes. Heart accents were added to the mug.
I just love how the design of the patterned paper adds a subtle touch of design to the background!

I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday than making cards and celebrating an incredible, fantastic new release from Colorado Craft Company! This amazing new release features the phenomenal art of Anita Jeram. I read "Guess How Much I Love You" to my kids daily when they were babies and toddlers and now we as stampers get the pleasure to creating beautiful stamped cards and art with her designs! I'm over the moon excited. Or maybe "to the moon and back" excited!
I'm sharing four slimline storyboard style cards in my video tutorial today as well as using many of the stamps and dies from the new release and tips and tricks on masking (or not masking!). I hope these cards inspire you to pick up a stamp set or two from the new release or create a slimline card with stamps you already have. "Create something delightful today."
