It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and we are so excited to bring you our brand new July 2023 release! This release is such a fun mix of designs, with stamp, stencil, die & ephemera options throughout.
I've got a rainbow colored card to share with you today, featuring our brand new Secret Garden die, which was designed by none other than the talented Paige Taylor Evans! I've also featured our newest coverplate design, Dotted Chevron and a sentiment from our Thanks for Being There stamp set.
Thanks for Being There 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 card base from white cardstock, then diecut the Dotted Chevron die to the front.
- Ink blend a white A2 cardstock panel in a rainbow gradient using the following colors: Bubble Gum, Berrylicious, Clementine, Sunshine, Key Lime & Mermaid Cove.
- Diecut the blended panel using the Secret Garden die.
- Diecut an ivory glitter cardstock panel using the Secret Garden die.
- Cut the glitter panel in half, and adhere to the card front so a bit of it will peek from behind the top layer.
- Adhere the rainbow version to the top with liquid glue only on the outer edge.
- Stamp the sentiment in Detail Black to white cardstock.
- Diecut the sentiment with the coordinating die, along with two additional layers. Stack & glue together.
- Adhere the sentiment to the card front with thin foam strips.
- Accent with jewels to finish.
TIP: The Secret Garden die is quite intricate. If you are struggling to get a clean cut, make sure your plates aren’t warped. Then feel free to use a piece of bubble mailer underneath to give added pressure without too much wear & tear on your diecut machine.
