Pinkfresh Double Duty

 

Today is the 22nd and it is Double Duty Day! Yes, we are back in 2026 and ready to double-up!  This is the 61st month, so we are now starting our 6th year!

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  We will post both cards on our blog on the the 22nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  We will be sure to have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

For January, we are back with Pinkfresh Studio.  We all have taken quite a few of their virtual classes and I still have a few pouches for events not completed--or even started...........................

I picked a fun bundle that included a stamps, coordinating die set, a 4-piece stencil set and the matching hot foil plate called Delicate Rosebuds. I used the hot foil plate with both cards--one with pink foil and the other with gold. I then ink blended the colors using the stencils and Pinkfresh ink cubes.  I also used a Pinkfresh cover plate on both cards.  

 

For this card, the ink colors are Peony, Begonia, Meadow and Emerald City with the pink foil.  The cover plate is Simply Diamonds, which is layered twice.  The pink layer is from my stash as is the sentiment.   I added a few pink pearls around the image.

 

 For this card, the colors are Berrylicious, Candy Apple, Paradise and Turquoise with gold foil.  The cover plate is Stitched Octagons and the gold embossed sentiment is from the same set.  Gold Pearls complete the card.

Please be sure to check out the other Double Duty cards. Here is a link to Jeanette's,  Darlene’s,  and Terry's blogs. I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of sets of great cards. 

Next month we are going to highlight Stampin' Up--the company that probably each of us used on the first card we ever made!  So be sure to check out our cards on February 22nd!
