Catch Up Club-April

Here we are on the last day of the month and it's time for Catch Up Club!  We are a group of friends who attend several virtual events together, and each of us subscribes to various monthly card kits.  We decided to designate the last day of each month as our Catch Up Day!  

The idea is to go through our stash and create a card from an unfinished kit, class or subscription.  

This month I chose two cards from a fantastic virtual event that we attend, Create & Connect by Pinkfresh Studio.  The classes were held February 25-26, 2023.  

These cards were in a class taught by Heather Hoffman and feature their "Farm Fresh" stamps, dies and layering stencils.

Both cards also used their "Rounded and Braided Rectangles" dies. 

This card shows the fine detail of the die cut and I included a pale blue panel on the inside to highlight it.


For this card, you use one of the dies and cut a mask for the card front. Then pale blue ink is blended, leaving the center part white, or very faintly blue.

I added clear Wink of Stella to make the jar sparkly. 

Both cards have the flowers colored using the layering stencil. The sentiments combine gold embossed sentiments from the "Farm Fresh" stamp set and their gold Ombre Glitter Drops.

This is a lovely set and it will certainly get a lot of use from me!  Now I'm about an inch closer to being current, hahaha!

Here are the links for my Catch Up Club friends.  Stop by and leave them some love.
