Pinkfresh Studio “Homespun with Heart” Release Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends! I’m excited to share a closer look at a few cards I created using products from the Pinkfresh Studio "Homespun with Heart" Release. This collection is perfect if you enjoy layering, delicate details, and projects inspired by handmade creativity and a touch of romantic vintage asthetic.

All the supplies are listed below. Many of you want me to share more videos, with the cardmaking process and I will be sharing one tomorrow and link it here. Or subscribe to my channel: @ishaguptadesigns

First two cards focus on sewing and crafting themes, combined with soft colors and dimensional die-cut elements.

Card 1 – Handmade Sewing Tools Card 

I used sewing themed dies to build a layered arrangement featuring thread, scissors, glasses, and small sewing accessories.

• I started with a soft pink ink blended background to create a warm base.
• The panel was embossed to add subtle texture without overpowering the focal elements using the Petal Trellis coverplate.
• I used the Heritage Lace die to create decorative borders at the top and bottom. These details help frame the card while keeping the design light and elegant.

• For the sewing elements, I inked through the stencils of the Maker's Essentials, die-cut using the coordinating Maker's dies and layered using foam adhesive to create dimension.
• I finished the card with a simple “Made with Love” sentiment from the Heartmade Greetings stamp and a few Iridescent Dew drops.

Card 2 – Thread Spool Handmade Card

For the second card, I focused on Thread Spool as the main design element. I wanted this card to feel soft, playful, and slightly modern.

• I created an inked background panel and layered it with the Lacy Lattice white die-cut.
• I then layered it with a softly blended oval vellum ink background to draw attention to the focal point.
• The stamped details on the spools and the sentiment from the Heartmade Greetings stamp set.
• The thread spools were die cut using using the Thread Spool dies. I added color from the stencils from Thread Spool stencils. The threads are from the Notion Story dies and the Notion Story stencil.

• I added small tags, pins, and floral details to enhance the handmade sewing theme.
• The same “Made with Love” sentiment ties both cards together and reinforces the handmade message.
• Added a few Iridescent Dew drops for subtle shine, movement and balance.

This design shows how repeating shapes like spools can create visual rhythm while still feeling clean and structured.

Card 3 – Timeless Handmade Elegance Card

This last card leans into a romantic vintage-inspired aesthetic with subtle Victorian influence, while still keeping a clean and contemporary cardmaking approach. I used Freshly Picked (stamp, stencil and dies), Cottage Frames (stamp, stencil and dies), Room for Joy stamp and dies, Stitched Basket Weave Coverplate

The decorative layered frames and floral vignettes draw inspiration from traditional Victorian stationery and ornamental paper crafts, where framed botanical elements were often used to create elegant focal points. The soft pink blended backgrounds inside the frames help recreate that classic cameo-style look that is commonly associated with vintage paper design.

To keep the card feeling fresh and modern, I paired those ornate elements with a structured layout, bold contrast layering, and plenty of open space. The stitched background texture adds quiet detail without overwhelming the florals, allowing each framed element to stand out individually while still working together as a cohesive composition.

I love combining vintage-inspired details with modern cardmaking techniques because it creates projects that feel timeless but still current. Giveaway
