It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and we are so excited to bring you our brand new June 2022 release from Pinkfresh Studio!
Lucky to Have a Friend like You card
Card Size: Mini Slimline (3 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches)
FEATURED PRODUCTS
- Folk Floral Stem product suite
- Ornate Medallions coverplate die
- Essentials: Mini Slimline Frames dies set
- Heart Smiles stamp & die set
- Pinkfresh Studio inks
- Clear Iridescent Drops
I created this card live with Heather Hoffman last week on our combined YouTube livestream. You can watch it come to life on the replay, and also see what Heather created! We both used the Folk Floral Stem products, and our cards came out completely different.
Keep Smiling card
Card Size: A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches)
FEATURED PRODUCTS
- Folk Floral Stem hot foil plate
- Essentials: Solid Hot Foil Plate
- Dotted Scallops coverplate die
- Foiled Sentiments 3 ephemera pack
- Clear Iridescent Drops
Once our live was over, I used the Solid Hot Foil Plate to hot foil the leftover piece from the card above and then cut it out with the coordinating die. I had a handful of 1-inch paper scraps, and I added them to a lower weight panel of white cardstock. Then I used the Dotted Scallops coverplate to add the detail to the background, and cut out with the largest Stitched Rectangle. I cut the largest Stitched Heart from white cardstock, and the Leafy Branch from champagne glitter cardstock. Finally, I heat embossed the secondary sentiment from the Folk Floral Stem stamp set in white to light blue cardstock & trimmed it into a thin strip.
I arranged everything to the card front as shown, popping some of the layers up with foam tape for added dimension. The main sentiment is from our new Foiled Sentiments 3 ephemera pack, which I think is going to fly off the shelves. The sentiments are all gold in this set, and we've introduced a couple new, on trend typefaces into this set! I finished the card by accenting with a few Clear Iridescent Drops here & there.
Fancy Rose Bunch card set
Card Size: Mini Slimline (3 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches) & A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches)
FEATURED PRODUCTS
- Fancy Rose Bunch product suite
- Geo Arch hot foil plate
- Heart Smiles stamp & die set
- Essentials: Mini Slimline Frame die set
- Essentials: Ornate Circle die set
- Pinkfresh Studio inks
- Sparkling Champagne pearls
For this card set I only used one stamped & stenciled floral bunch, trimming it apart to work for my card designs better. I ink blended it in the following colors: Peach Fuzz, Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, Berrylicious, Ocean Breeze, Aquamarine & Mermaid Cove. I used the Geo Arch hot foil plate to dry emboss the background of the mini slimline card. Then I foiled it, and used the Solid Hot Foil Plate to foil the leftover for the background of the A2 card.
As you can see, the Mini Slimline Frames layering together beautifully, but you can also use them separately. And when you use the Ornate Circle without the outer die, you create this gorgeous frame within your panel that almost looks like a fancy image of the sun! I love that about this die.
Fun fact: I used every single piece of the floral images in these cards. Only the tiniest trimmings were tossed!

Lori Spitzer - Hi, Lea - I'm beyond impressed with this release. The French "bouche-bée" would be closer (consider my jaw dropped). I absolutely adore the Folk Floral suite and am ordering those four items. I'd love to order other suites but have to watch the old changepurse these days. Love the brass embellishments tray. Love the Geo Arch items and all the new cover plates... and the mini slimline frames and... well, you get the idea. I love the cards you have shared and admire your decisions in terms of color and layout. Lori S in PA
