Pinkfresh Studio “Artful Foundations” Release Blog Hop


Hello crafty friends!! I am so excited to join Pinkfresh Studio "Artful Foundations" bloghop. This release is versatile as always and I love it.


For my three projects, I couldn’t resist playing with the Petal Pop stencil set and Heartfelt Chapters sentiment stamp and dies.


What I love abot the stencil set is that it comes with a background stencil too. I also want to share how this stencil can be combined with the previously released products to create beautiful, colorful cards using soft or bold colors of your liking :)

All the products are linked below and if you want me to create a video for any of the cards, do let me know.

Card 1– Soft & Cheerful


This card features a light, airy floral background created with soft ink blending for a fresh and happy feel. I used the embroidery hoop to ground the sentiment. The gentle color transitions add movement without overwhelming the design, making this card perfect for everyday encouragement or happy mail.



The tiny butterflies to add focus on the sentiment are from the Nature's Narrative dies.

Card 2 - Bright & Uplifting


The 2nd card combines a vibrant floral backdrop with a clean, stitched frame for a polished finish.
I love how the layered sentiment using glitter cardstock stands out while still allowing the background to shine.



A rectangular stitched frame, few small embellishments using butterflies, add texture and dimension, creating a balanced design that feels uplifting and versatile.

Card 3 - Bold & Joyful Gatefold Shaker Card


For the 3rd card, I leaned into brighter, more saturated rainbow colors against a dark background to really let the florals pop. The contrast adds drama while still feeling playful.



This is a gatefold card with the shaker circular window


A bold circular shaker frame highlights the sentiment, and a touch of sparkle brings in a bit of celebration—ideal for birthdays or special milestones.

Just using various color combinations, sets a different look and mood for the card, right?
