It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and we've got some amazing new Press Plates, dies and glitter cardstocks! Created to work with the LetterPress BetterPress system from Spellbinders Paper Arts, get the elegant and luxurious feel of stationary that you create yourself!
Today I'm sharing a colorful rainbow gradient card featuring our new Medallion Border press plate & die, along with a sentiment from the new Favorite Things Sentiments, also a Press Plate set with coordinating dies. I thought it took on the look of a piñata a little bit, so I chose a sentiment that would best work for a birthday from the set!
Favorite Things birthday card
Card size: A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 (inches)

- Diecut each color with the Medallion Border coordinating die.
- Press the sentiment into cotton paper in Detail Black ink using the BetterPress LetterPress system.
- Diecut the sentiment with the coordinating die.
- Diecut the wrap around elements from ivory glitter cardstock.
- Arrange the borders in rainbow order to a block of cardstock, then trim any excess away so it doesn’t show.
- Add the ivory glitter elements to the front, then adhere the rainbow panel to the red card front.
- Mount the sentiment to the front with foam tape.
- Accent with glitter drops in rainbow order to finish.
