Pinkfresh Studio “The Daydream Edit” Release Blog Hop + Giveaway + VIDEO

Hello crafty friends! I’m so happy to be part of the Pinkfresh Studio "The Daydream Edit" release today. This release has four GORGEOUS washi tape suites, Floral Daydream suite, which has a press plate for foiling and letterpress effect along with, yet another stencil and die combo "Golden Poppies"

For this release, I really wanted to play around and see how far I could take these floral washi tapes, so I ended up making three cards and even a mixed media journal page. It’s amazing how the washi florals can work for both soft elegant clean and simple designs and more textured, artsy mixed media layouts.

Grab a cup of tea and enjoy the creations with me :)
Firstly, I’m sharing two floral cards using the beautiful washi tape from the Garden Grace product suite - one bold and vibrant, and one soft and delicate.


Card 1 – Bold Floral Celebration

For this card, I created a rich red ink-blended background with slightly darker edges to frame the design. I added subtle tone-on-tone stamping for texture.


I also added masked ink-blending for dimension, still keeping the panel one layer.



I finished the cards with a few Ombré Twilight Glitter drops for sparkle.

If you’d like to see the full process of the Red Card, you can watch the video below where I walk you through the steps for creating this card.


Card 2 – Soft Birthday Design

For the second card, I went with a soft pink background and a lighter, more open layout.
I created one main floral cluster and added a bit of black stamped detail in the background for contrast. The sentiment “Happy Birthday beautiful” was tucked into the florals to complete the design.




Card 3 – Clean and Simple spring theme card

I kept this card light and fresh with a soft teal ink-blended background framed with an embossed delicate rectangle frame. The Daffodil floral cluster is the star here - simple, elegant, and easy to put together.





I finished the card with the sentiment
“Wishing you a birthday full of good things” and a few clear embellishments for a subtle sparkle.

Mixed Media Journal – Because Ordinary Days Deserve Flowers

For this project, I wanted to share the versatility of these products, I started by building a soft mixed media background using light washes of color, splatters, and a bit of texture to create an organic base.






I layered the florals along one side to create a flowing, natural composition. I love how they instantly add detail without needing a lot of extra work.

I finished the page with the sentiment “Because ordinary days deserve flowers”—which felt perfect for the soft and relaxed feel of this design.

4 spectacular cards! So many different ideas, especially in your last card. At first I thought you used some paper with a design on it so I was very happy that you explained how you created it. And I just love the sentiment because whose day isn't made special when they receive flowers for no reason!

Dear Isha,
These are magnificent!!! I love the striking boldness of the red wreath card w/ the darker inside oval but then the card w/ the pink/white diagonal split is amazing.... and then more cards just kept on coming, one just as gorgeous as the previous and equally as stunning as the one following!
