It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and we are so excited to bring you our brand new Holiday 2023 release! This release is such a festive mix of designs, with stamp, stencil, die & hot foil options throughout. For the first time ever we are offering an August 2023 "I Want It All" bundle of the entire release with a small discount!
I've got a colorful card to share with you today featuring our new Festive Tickets product suite. I created all the tickets first, and then arranged them on to my card front to give it a color blocked feel! You can get more details below.
Festive Tickets Christmas card
Card size: A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 (inches)
FEATURED PRODUCTS - if you love my card & would like to purchase any of the products I've used, I would love for you to shop from my links! I earn a small commission at no cost to you, allowing me to contribute to our finances. I appreciate this gesture more than words can express!
Here are instructions on how to create today's card set:
- Cut & fold A2 (4.25” x 5.5”) card base from white cardstock.
- Stamp the Festive Tickets image in Detail Black to white cardstock & let dry.
- Once dry, use the coordinating stencils to ink blend in the following colors:
Stencil 1: Coral Reef
Stencil 2: Aquamarine
Stencil 3: Ocean Breeze, Doe, Licorice
Stencil 4: Berrylicious
- Diecut the ink blended images with the coordinating die.
- Diecut (6) tickets from colored cardstock scraps that match the ink blending.
- Stamp & heat emboss the tickets as shown with the filigree & sentiments in the stamp set.
- Arrange and adhere them to the card front, popping three of them up with foam adhesive.
- Add the diecut holiday images to the front, popping up with foam tape for added dimension.
- Tie a double bow from silver thread and attach to the top of the ornament.
- Accent with glitter drops to finish.
TIP: This is a great set for using up some colored cardstock scraps! Turn the festive tickets into tags, and they would be perfect for your holiday gift packaging, using as ornaments and adding to Christmas place settings!
