Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Encouragement Cards Featuring New Pinkfresh Studios
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you today sharing inspiration using the new release from Pinkfresh Studios!
We always have a need for encouragement cards, especially now more than ever! In today’s video I will be showing you how I made a whole bunch of colorful encouragement cards using the Pinkfresh Color Block Rainbow die, and the Keep Going stamp and die set.
I selected 10 different colors of cardstock and cut them with the Color Block Rainbow die. This gave me a giant pile of rainbow stripes that I could then piece together in varying patterns for multiple cards!
The fun part is that you can then decorate the resulting cards with pretty much anything you want! I added sentiments to some, florals to others (colored and uncolored), and even made some of the cards shaped! It’s cool to see the same technique look completely different from card to card, depending on how you decorate it!
Want to see how I made these cards? Be sure to watch the video below for all the details!

June 2020 Card Kit Inspiration with Kristina Werner
Hello, all! Kristina here with some more card inspiration using supplies from the June 2020 Card Kit! This card kit is packed with fun things to use when creating cards! I couldn’t make just one card–I just had to make three!
All three cards used Distress Oxide Inks in different ways. I used five colors of ink: Scattered Straw, Abandoned Coral, Festive Berries, Seedless Preserves, and a bit of Peeled Paint. These colors were inspired by the patterned papers included in the kit!
For my first card, I used the Butterfly Trails stencil to first do some ink blending. I used blender brushes to get a soft blend. Then I placed the stencil over the butterflies again and applied the Gina K Designs Iridescent Glitter Glitz Gel. To finish the card, I stamped the “Friend” sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set included in the kit.
The second card started with stamping all of the butterflies from the kit stamp set on Arches cold pressed watercolor paper in black ink. Then I smooshed the Distress Oxide Inks on a palette and painted with the inks. I did layers of colors, and finished the card by stamping the “long distance hug” circle stamp for the greeting and adhering it to the card.
My third and final card is the most simple. This 7×5 card was created by first creating a soft watercolor background and then stamping the largest butterfly in black ink. For the greeting, I stamped the “Thinking of You” greeting from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in VersaMark Ink on black cardstock and applied gold embossing powder.
