Just another Friday Fun-day!

As I anticipate all that's new from one of my favorite companies, I decided to take a look at what might be missing from my stash.  While wandering around there, I found a few sets that really had not received the attention they deserved - seems the perfect time for a Friday Fun-day!  

I won't go into great detail, just some photos and I'll list those PinkFresh Studio products below, and link when they are still available!  Hope you enjoy!

PinkFresh Studio
Winterberry Background - Florals and sentiment: Keep Going
Center cut with Braided Circles and the perfect sentiment on
I may have tucked in a few PinkFresh Essential Jewels 
which I hear are pretty hard to get these days


Stamped with Versafine Clair grey Morning Mist, water colored with Distress inks


And then again with blue and turquoise!


Pinkfresh Studios:
Dainty Blossoms tucked into one of these wonderful Noteworthy Frames
OH! can you spy the other die?  Oval Foliage Wreath
And the sweet little sentiment - I've used more of them!


I mentioned recently my friend who had the diving accident?  
This one is for him,
and the top one for his darling wife.

Just a touch of color from CP Mint to Be, a few tiny blooms from PinkFresh Aviary
There is a lesson here.  One my friend has learned first-hand: 
sometimes the rainbow is hard to see! 
Pinkfresh Keep Going dies conveys that beautifully.

Okay!!  That's ten sets I used today!  It was such a fun day of stamping, cutting, making!  I'm ready for all the new goodies available on Monday at 7 am CT - have you been checking out the sneak-peeks?!  OMG!

Hope you had a Fun Friday, too!  See you next week!! xx

Beautiful Michele - you have been busy! I love that background plate - the first card is my absolute favourite, those soft pastels are so pretty!

Lisa Elton said...

Oh how I wish we could have enjoyed this Friday fun day together! These are all extra special and I like the way you combined all of the different sets and dies. The first is my favorite, it's so pretty!

Absolutely gorgeous cards, Michele! May I say that your first card is my fave with all that beautiful water coloring? Love how you played with your dies, too! I know you had fun creating, and I really enjoyed seeing everything...Thank you! xx

These are all beautiful, Michele ... I've loved that Winterberry background since it was released ... and you've made it shine in both colour palettes! Brilliant card for your friend ... such encouraging sentiments ... and that rainbow might be camouflaged but it's still there, if only we look carefully! Fantastic imagery! Hugs, Anita :)

Mac Mable said...

What a fabulous creative day you had Michele. The Winterberry background looks amazing.....both versions x. Your water colouring looks so pretty. What a great idea to stamp all the sentiments out too as a background on card number three.
Very thoughtful cards for your friend, who had the unfortunate accident and his darling wife Michele x.

Jeanne said...

What a glorious showcase of your stamps! Just gorgeous cards. The coloring, the designs, the feels...all perfection. Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. So happy you had such a productive and fun-filled Friday! We get to enjoy the benefits of your success! :)

Bonnie said...

Oh, my, I wish I could have had a fun Friday with you, Michele! The watercoloring on the first card is so beautiful with the soft shades! I need to remember that color combo. And then you used blue and purple with the sweet die cuts (that you enabled me to buy). Wow! Who couldn't be inspired by the third card with all those uplifting sentiments! Perfect for a guy! I hope your friend is making good progress each day.

Another inspirational set of cards--and you've used a couple of my favorite PFS sets---Winterberry Background, and the Keep Going florals. So beautifully colored and designed!

JulieP said...

Fun day indeed!!! These are beautiful and I’m sure your stamp and stencil sets appreciate the love.

conil said...

What bevy of beautiful creations. Ten sets used...I wouldn't have any room left on my work space. Thrilled that you soldiered on with you designs. They're all so lovely, happy and heart-felt.

TK said...

Three beautiful cards, and such inspirational messages -- yes, the rainbows are very hard to see at times, but we can all get there with small steps!

HilaryJane said...

What a wonderful productive day you have had. All these cards are quite amazing. Love how you have coloured that background stamp and every card has such wonderful little details on them. I think my favourite is the middle one xx

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

I was channeling you today making many color combinations of Tranquility Roses with the stencil set that you made me buy. And now I am looking at this post and sitting on my hands. You have truly outdone yourself here, my friend. These are just incredible. I think your sadness over CAS[E] This Sketch has turned up the fire on your creativity. I don't know, but you are making so much fantastic art. You always do, but I can almost hear it. Great for you! Thanks for the inspiration.

Linda Callahan said...

Well when you have a crafty day you certainly have a crafty day! These are all fabulous...and meaningful! I wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a week if I did all these in one day!

Ros Crawford said...

Wow! Your stamping is beautiful.. Love that first card with all the pretty colours and then all those sentiments... That's incredible and so clever!

Brenda said...

Wow, wow, wow! I'm loving all of these cards Michele! You certainly had a very productive and fun Friday! lol And I am loving it. I swear you are so good at making cards lady. These are all amazing. I have totally fallen in love with the winter berries background stamp. Love the color combo of the first three cards, my favorites although I love the other color combos too. But those first three are my most favorites! How did you get all your colors on the background like that?! You always impress me with your cards and these have really impressed me! You are amazing! Hugs, Brenda

Brenda said...

Oops! I missed the paragraph where you water colored! lol I was so enthralled with your cards, I just I didn't read everything! Me bad!

Bobby said...

I love that background stamp and how you've colored it both times, Michele. So soft and pretty. I may need that although I think I have a stencil similar. I can't wait to refresh myself with what I do have when I get home. Then I'll really have a Fun Friday - and a few other days too.

Dotty Jo said...

Well, just look at YOU working magic here again! FAbulous cards, Michele, Jo x

Papercraft Boutique said...

What a fun and productive Friday you had, Michele! I love all 3 cards! Your light watercoloring of the first card is so beautiful! Placing the sentiment strip (instead of flowers) in the circle window is a fresh idea. Love the camouflage-look of the second card. It's so interesting to look at the card closely and find treasures. The third one with lots of uplifting words will sure encourage and comfort your friend. He'll see the rainbow. :-)

These are lovely, lovely cards Michele! So much fabulous detail!

Loll said...

Amazing card Michele! It looks like you had fun making these ... especially the ones for your friend and his wife. Very uplifting cards that are sure to make their day special when they receive them. My favourite is the first card with all the florals - gorgeous! xx
