Cut it Up Challenge #355 ~ Something With Wings

Hi Crafty Friends,
Busy day today on the blog with so many First of the Month challenges and this month our CIU challenge also lands on the 1st!!
Cut it Up challenge #355 is to create Something with Wings.
I'm a big fan of Pinkfresh Studio products and I've had this set for awhile.It's a pressplate which I chose to foil - yes, you can foil pressplates!!!

I used Jaded Blossom's stitched and scallop circle dies for the gold border and Gina K inks to add color to the stenciled image.  The sentiment is a Betterpress plate and die set called Fancy Sentiment Strips.

I hope you'll play along with us for this challenge.

Moving Along with the Times February 2026 ~ Floral

Hi Crafty Friends,
We're asking you to use FLORALS for our Moving Along with the Times February challenge.
I've been trying to use all the amazing Pinkfresh Studio stamp/die/stencil sets that I've been ordering so this was a great challenge for me.

I've used Pinkfresh Studios Pure Joy pressplate stencil/die set.  I foiled the pressplate using my Glimmer foil machine then stenciled using PF inks.  I also used PF Ornate Rectangle die cut multiple time and stacked and splattered the background with lavender metallic paint.  The sentiment comes from the Betterpress You Are Everything plate and die set.

I'm looking forward to seeing your FLORAL creation.
