Happy July, Pinkfresh Studio fans! ☀️ A fresh month brings a fresh creative challenge, and we’d love for you to join us! Whether you enjoy cardmaking, scrapbooking, journaling, mini albums, or any other paper crafting project, everyone is welcome to play along.

This month’s theme is Shades of Summer! Think bright skies, colorful blooms, juicy fruit, tropical vibes, beach days, sunshine, or simply a fresh and cheerful color palette. There’s plenty of room to interpret this theme in your own style, so let your creativity lead the way.

Feel free to shop your stash and use any Pinkfresh Studio products that inspire you. To help spark a few ideas, we’ve also rounded up some products at the end of this post that are a perfect fit for the theme—but they’re just a starting point. We can’t wait to see your colorful summer-inspired creations!

Quick reminder: You can enter up to 3 new, never-before-seen projects in each month’s challenge.

Check out yesterday’s post for the June challenge winners and Top 3 Projects. Maybe you will be featured next! Ready to join the fun? Let’s get crafting!

For those inspired by the color scheme, here are the best matching ink shades: Sparkling Rose, Mimose, Sunshine, Key Lime, and Aquamarine.

✨ Remember: ✨
Our monthly challenge is an Anything Goes Challenge: While the theme and colors are here to inspire you, feel free to enter any NEW project that primarily uses Pinkfresh Studio products. Whether you use the theme, the colors, both or none—it’s up to you. At the end of the day, we just want you to get crafty and have fun!

Let’s see what you create! 💛
