Happy Tuesday, crafty friends! We are still celebrating our "Delightful" press plate release at Pinkfresh Studio, and today we've got an Instagram Hop going on! There is a grand prize on the Pinkfresh IG post of the ENTIRE release and 10 more chances to win a $25 gift card code to our online shop along the hop. Click HERE to be taken to my Instagram post, where you can start the hop!
These cards feature our new Plaid press plate, which I've foiled in satin rose gold and pastel mint. For the father's day card, I used the solid hot foil plate to reverse foil the leftover, giving it a bolder feel. I thought this was perfect for dads! I've paired the plaid backgrounds with the Never Give Up floral for mom and the Joyful Day branch for dad. We don't have a lot of specific themed sentiments at Pinkfresh Studio, but that is fine by me! I love to create more heartfelt sentiments by customizing them with an alpha die set, like the Julieta Alpha I used here.
You can get the details on how I created it below!

Here is a quick overview of how to create this card:
- Cut & fold (2) A2 card bases from silver fox cardstock.
- Foil the plaid background - first layer in satin rose gold. Rotate the plate once, then foil again in pastel mint.
- Use the solid hot foil plate to foil the leftover pieces to create a bolder plaid pattern.
- Foil the Never Give Up flowers in white foil to waterfall cardstock.
- Foil the Joyful Day branches in pastel mint foil to white cardstock.
- Use the solid hot foil plate to foil the leftovers. (We will only use the two smaller leafy branch pieces. Save the rest for another card.)
- Diecut each element with the coordinating dies.
- Diecut the letters for each card - once from glitter cardstock and twice from white cardstock. Stack & glue together.
- Diecut the standard plaid background with the largest stitched rectangle, and the solid foiled with the smaller stitched rectangle.
- Mount each plaid background to a silver fox card base with foam adhesive.
- Stamp the sentiments in Detail Black to white cardstock.
- Diecut the scripted sentiment with the coordinating die, along with two extra layers. Stack & glue together.
- Trim the other sentiment into a thin strip.
- Arrange the flowers and branches to each card front as shown, trimming where necessary.
- Attach the letters to the front with liquid glue.
- Adhere the sentiment to the front with thin foam strips.
- Accent with sparkling champagne pearls to finish.
