Pink Fresh Studio Card Making Event February 2024

My box is supposed to arrive today. I am trying to be patient! lol

ETA: two got my box of happy! I am very impressed by the card samples and the materials. I am so happy I signed up for this event!

I got my box & did all of the homework for the classes. I want to start the make & takes this weekend!

Also - my box does not fully shut, even when empty. It's like the magnets were put in backwards or something and they are resistant to closing. Anyone else have this problem? Not a make or break problem but it's annoying...

My box arrived last week, and I haven't had time to do anything but look through it. It's wonderful! I love everything.

My box does have magnets and does stay closed. You do have to arrange the contents so the lid lays flat and it closes all the way.

I need to get through next week's Celebrations Delivered event and then I'll have time to work on this!

I’m home and dug into the box and all I can say is wow. It’s perfect. The only thing I would change is to add and inch or so to the depth of the box so we can fit our homework in there too.

Want to add that on class 3, the list of homework is minimal. However if you haven’t read the card construction you may want to do some of it beforehand. I’m super slow so I did the die cutting and some of the stamping too.

What did you all think of the “extra” supply? I could take it or leave it.

I am indifferent to it as well. I am wondering why they went with Rose Gold when their other tools/freebies have been gold.

I’m crafting live with some friends so I did all the homework, as much embossing and die cutting as I could do, as well as a lot of the steps for the make and takes. I have clear plastic card sleeves for organizing.

I labeled them each card 1-4 for each session and put all the pieces for each card per session in those bags. I then put them back in the bag with the stamp set they each belong with. I hopefully did enough prep but when I’m live even though I’m a fast crafter I make mistakes so I tried to have a bunch done so I can take my time blending and assembling.

I really need to watch the make and take video when they put it up. For Annette’s make and take for the citrus set I could not for the life of me get my partial die cutting correct. I couldn’t figure out how she did that no matter how I had the plate not cover part of the die.

I’m looking forward to everything and I vote for yana at all the events. She has such an amazing style.

The previous gifts I got were the gold tweezers and the gold embellishment wand. Well I guess they are really more of a brass color. But not rose gold. Also their small blending brushes have gold/brass on them. Maybe they couldn't source one with gold so they went with rose gold....idk not a big deal just surprising as to me their aesthetic is gold accents.

The swag was nothing exciting. I already have bottles like that from Amazon, so I just stuck it in a drawer with the other extra one I have. I do like that they printed the stamp cleaner recipe on the box and I might give that a try some time. I too thought it was odd that the cap was rose gold instead of brass like everything else. I'm all finished with my prep work and am now just impatiently waiting for the event day.

Yikes. Is anyone else in CA running across this issue as well? With the event 10 days away, I wonder if you could ask PF to send you a new box? Everything crossed for you!

I thought I also saw that customs issues in Europe had been cleared up; don't know if that was a problem with Canada also.

I am having a very hard time engaging with the homework for this event, despite having plenty of time. Part of that might be a sense of guilt over too much crafting while I should be job hunting. I've been doing very small, simple PP projects an hour or so per weekday -- nothing intense. Part of it might be having too much time. But I suspect some of it is also coming slowly to the conclusion that Pinkfresh is not "all that" for me. I'm really trying to figure out (if/)why. I am going to try very, very hard to engage with the homework this coming weekend, so that I can participate as fully as possible in the event the following weekend. I already know that the PPP/Mindy Eggen class is too late in the day here for me to participate live, but I'm hoping to do the rest, despite my...misgivings.
