Welcome back to our third livestream of today’s World Cardmaking Day celebration!
At 12:30 am Eastern, we’re joining Kathleen Schmelz from Pinkfresh Studio as she shares a beautiful tri-fold design with a peek-through window, featuring the beautiful Dragonfly Dreams suite from Pinkfresh Studio’s new The Simple Things release.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to combine hot foiling, ink blending, and coverplate dies to add shine, color, dimension, and texture to your projects. The delicate floral wreath, dragonfly, and moon phase details provide the perfect setting for an encouraging sentiment. Best of all, this versatile card design can be adapted to work with so many different products and collections, giving you an idea you can return to again and again! Grab a cup of coffee, join Kathleen for the video, and see how all the details come together!

Pinkfresh is quite new to me. I love their delicate flowers and the color choices in their sample cards
I make cards for the senior who get meals on wheels and I love get notes of how much the card made their day.
I love sharing the cards I make–especially ones I give as Random Acts of Kindness.
I live to share joy with cardmaking
I love using Pinkfresh stencils and ink blending!
I enjoy the comadery between strangers who become distant friends.
fantastic company with coordinated sets to make us all look crafty
Pinkfresh is new to me, but I am always open to exploring what other designers have to offer
Happy World Cardmaking Day!!! Let’s go Pinkfresh Studios!!!!
I love playing around with my supplies, and it’s a bonus that I have then created something I can give away to someone!
Wow this card is stunning! Can’t wait to see have you make it!
I love that Mom and I honor my Dad by donating cards to the troops all year long. I also love that we give cards to kids in foster care each year to keep supporting kids even though we are both retired from teaching now.
I love how creative I feel when making cards – but I love making cards to send to people I don’t know in hopes it brings a smile.
Happy WCMD! I love getting creative with my supplies.
My favorite thing about cardmaking is the friendships I’ve made through the hobby. I enjoy creating with friends via FaceTime and having that connection no matter how far apart we are. Love dragonflies, so I’m excited to watch this one. I’ve never foiled anything and have no idea how that even works!
Love pinkfresh and the fun lives they share!
I love being able to send a little handmade piece of art to all those I love near and far.
Blessing others with the cards that I make by sending them a card or gifting them cards to share with others in their life!
I love that the recipients of my handmade cards appreciate them so much. They’ll say, “wow!” or tell me that they’ve saved the cards I give them. Cardmaking is a great way to share my creative side with people I love.
I think what I love most about card making is this amazing community-full of encouragement and enthusiasm for our fellow cardmakers!
SCT you have done it again, with your family of other companies to help we have gotten the best World CardMaking Day ever!
Card making makes me feel artistic and it bring joy to those who receive my creations. Happy WCMD!
Happy WCMD. What I Love about cardmaking is that you made something with so much love and creativity and you give that to somebody else. So is like you are spreading love.
Hello. Love making cards for family, friends and also making cards to donate to a few special charities. Also LOVE that I share this fun card making hobby with my sister, stepmom and aunt.
Cards are customized little paintings sent to friends, reminding them they are loved 💜
cardmaking is so fun and refreshing–feeds my soul
Love that dragonfly!! Cardmaking is fun for me – I get to let my artistic side explore new ideas/techniques.
What I love most is spreading a bit of comfort and joy to my recipients. I started sending 20 cards each month in March 2020 during Covid. It was such a big hit that I’ve continued doing it all these years later. I’ve only missed sending cards one month in all that time.
Such a beautiful card!
I love the community and the creative outlet that card making provides.
Having a wonderful time watching all the videos
Happy WCMD 🌷 my favourite part of card making is sending cards to friends and family on special occasions or just because 🥰
I love making people feel special when they get a handmade card!
Thanks for inspiration!!
Making and sharing cards is such a joy for me and the receiver! Thank you SCT and all the vendors!
What I love most about card making is sharing the cards I make – it brings me such a good feeling to know that with just one simple card, it can change a person’s day!
Yeah PinkFresh!!
Love PinkFresh! Great products!
I love spending WCMD with the card community, everyone is so kind and friendly!! Looking forward to see what PinkFresh Studio and Kathleen have in store for us
Looking forward to seeing something beautfiul!
Hello Crafty peeps! My fave thing about card-making is giving them away! I love when somebody is happy with something I made for them. :)
New to Pinkfresh- but loving some of their products!
I love how card making takes me away from all the stress and in the moment I make things that can bring others joy and comfort!
I have so much I like about card making … my favorite will have to be layering die cuts … I just love putting this together!
I love Pinkfresh products. I cannot wait for their new inks to be available.
I enjoy card making because it is a small way to show someone you are thinking about them. Whether it is for an event or just because, it lets them know that you are thinking about them.
What a beautiful card!
Beautiful card and release. My favorite about card making is the community that is built with each company or content creator. Making & sharing cards too.
love the creating and production of something you made with love and time to give to someone you love and care about.
Pink Fresh is so angelic, love their softness in card making
Love most? The creative outlet!!
