Welcome to blog hop day for Pinkfresh Studio and their Essentials Release for May 2019! I have a fun card project to share featuring the new Basic Label Frames dies and finished off with the fun new Jewel Mix set!
The Basic Label Frames are so all-purpose and are great for both cardmaking and scrapbooking, and this Jewel Mix gem set comes with all these colors, each in its own container, and all contained in a nifty little storage box.
My card project also featured the Through The Trees stamp set and I thought this would be perfect to give to my son upon his return from his freshman year in college. I know he’s planning some big camping trips and I want to encourage him to explore that road less taken this summer. But not to go TOO wild, of course.
I really love the combo of Distress Oxides on this project and the gems were a really nice finishing touch!
Here is the video showing you how I created the card project:
