Good morning, friends! I have a very special post lined up today. It's a little different than the way I typically share things on here. I hope you like it!
I've been playing with the Adore Alphas stamp and die set, and wanted to showcase this favorite new addition to my stash. It's sooo versatile and you know I am a big fan of stretching supplies, so I'm sharing
10 WAYS TO LETTER WITH PINKFRESH STUDIO
1. OUTLINE AND INLAY DIE
with Stamped Pattern
Stamp plain cardstock with your favorite print and then use both the outline and inlay cut-outs! Here I've paired the cuts with Embroidered Blossoms and Sweet Lemonade stamps and dies.
2. OUTLINE AND INLAY DIE
with Cardstock and Patterned Paper
It's so fun to just play with all the inlays and outlines and different cardstock colors and patterned papers. The possibilities are endless! Here I've paired this set with the Simple and Sweet paper collection.
3. OUTLINE AND INLAY DIE
with Stamped and Penwork Accents
For this card, I've used different hues of cardstock, and accented them with the tiny heat-embossed accents, as well as pen dashes to create a pretty stripe around each letter. For the second row of letters, I've used the Sweet Lemonade straw to add a striped pattern. I love how Summer-y these two striping techniques make the fonts!
5. OUTLINE DIE
If you're wanting a lighter, softer look, why not use just the outline! Here I've added a bit more support to the letters by adhering orange slices from the Sweet Lemonade set, and making a heart shaker with all the little bits.
6. OUTLINE DIE
with Stamped Accents
For a simple, but darling look, use only the outlines, and then let your heart go crazy stamping away! Here I've added the stamped details inside the letters, but also on the outside. I love the floral vibes. Paired with the Spring Floral die set.
7. INLAY CUT
with Stamped Accents
For this tag, I've used the dies to create a negative cut out of the pretty Simple and Sweet plaid pattern. I then adhered red cardstock, and heat-embossed the sweet accents. I also used a white Signo pen to line the red cardstock for a tiny bit more dimension.
8. INLAY CUT
with Inlay Accents
For this fun card, I first stamped the background with Embroidered Blossoms, and then created a negative cut. I then added the inlay dies in a white cardstock, giving this floral print a lovely focal-point sentiment. Paired with Scripted Bold Sentiments 1 and Simple and Sweet papers.
9. SANS SERIF
with Glitter
I absolutely LOVE that these fonts can be totally re-styled by just cutting off the 'serif' tips. Here you can see the top lettering is as it comes in the set, and on the second row, I've just gone ahead and styled my fonts! Also adding a generous coating of sparkle embossing powder.
10. STAMPED
Last but not least, I love that I can just play with the pretty stamps! Here, I've made a background. but it's just as fun to pair the stamped fonts with their coordinating dies. Paired here with the Oval Foliage die set.
And that wraps up my post! Of course, there are so many more possibilities with these pretty fonts, but I hope this gives you a great idea of just a few jumping off points!
