Pinkfresh Studio Essentials Release Blog Hop + GIVEAWAYS

Tuesday, November 05, 2024 | By: Lea Lawson

It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and our Essentials collection is getting a fabulous refresh with eight new dies! 🎉 Many years ago, I envisioned the Essentials collection to offer affordable and fun die sets that give your handmade cards that polished, professional touch only a die can achieve. I hope you adore the new additions to this must-have selection of dies!

I'm sharing a serene sympathy card today featuring the new Blanket Stitched Brackets die set, with the previously released Delighted for You florals and a sentiment from the With Sympathy product suite.

FREE GIFT ALERT: You can get a FREE Phrase Builder: Hello die set with any $50+ purchase. Shop, then add the die to your cart when prompted. Available while supplies last.

May you find Comfort & Peace card

Card size: A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 (inches) - click on the images above to see them larger.

Here are instructions on how to create today's card:

  • Cut & fold A2 card base from dark green cardstock.

  • Hot foil the matching floral press plate in matte gold to white cardstock, then reverse foil with the solid hot foil plate.
  • Diecut the stamped & reverse foiled images with the coordinating die.
  • Heat emboss the sentiment in gold embossing ink to white cardstock.
  • Diecut the sentiment with the coordinating die, including two extra layers. Stack & glue together.
  • Letterpress the Stained Glass hot foil plate to cotton cardstock using the BetterPress system.
  • Trim the letterpress panel to 4" x 5.25", then mount to the card front.
  • Diecut the largest Blanket Stitched Bracket from ivory glitter cardstock as shown.
  • Arrange the solid foiled & the stamped florals as shown to the card front.
  • Attach the sentiment to the lower left corner.
