Emily Leiphart: Pigment Craft | October Release IG Hop + Giveaway!

It's release time at Pigment Craft Co. and I'm super excited to be joining one of my favourite companies for their October Release. This holiday release is spectacular and you're going to enjoy all of the new products. I'd love to hear your favourites!

I made two cards for this release, mixing and matching several sets on each card as I love to do. Plus, I had the pleasure of using the new inks in all the colours! I was sold on these inks from the first stamping and you won't be disappointed when you get them in your hot little hands.

I chose the deepest shades in each of the three colour families, while also using the lightest shades, to create bolder, richer holiday cards. If you're used to seeing the lightest shades take centre stage, you can see how different these 10 colours look in different combinations!

My first card focuses on the Tied Up With Love gift building stamp set and dies. Aren't those gifts just the cutest? I love the strings/ribbons so much! The gifts were stamped in Quince and Fig, then the strings were heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The snowflakes (stamped in Glow), small sprigs (stamped in Eucalyptus and Sage) and sentiment (stamped in Fir) are also from this stamp set.

The holly berries (stamped in Turmeric and Seagrass), are from the Berry Merry stamp set and dies, and the larger sprig is from the Festive Floral stamp set and dies. After stamping the sentiment in Fir, I used both pieces of the Bold Diagonal Stripe Stencil to dry emboss the panel.

My second card focuses on the Christmas Bouquet Outline stamp set, which is an absolute dream, especially when combined with the Christmas Bouquet Stamp and Stencil Bundle and coordinating dies. All of these products together create a large stunning image that looks like pre-printed ephemera!

I started by stamping the image in the lightest shade of grey. Then I used all 10 ink colours in the Pigment Palette via stamping or ink blending with the coordinating Christmas Bouquet Stamp and Stencil Bundle . These colours were most definitely curated to work perfectly together. You can't go wrong, no matter which combinations you choose to feature, even if you put them all together like I did here!

The entire sentiment comes from the You Make Things Sparkle set. I'm quite certain that the coordinating dies take this from basic to wow. While it looks like a crazy amount of work to die cut and line up all those popped up letters, it really wasn't!

To match the Christmas Bouquet Stamp and Stencil Bundle with the sentiment, I added a bit of gold embossing in the centres of the three Turmeric posies and the bottom of the scripted sparkle word. I actually ombre stamped the sparkle word with Turmeric, Terracotta and Fig but most of the Fig colour ended up being hidden by the gold embossing powder.

I'm so in love with all of these products and I can't wait to play with them more. I'll have more inspiration coming in the next few weeks, using more of the products from this release! If there's something you'd like me to share in a YouTube video, please let me know in the comments below.
