It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and we are so excited to bring our our brand new March 2022 washi tape product suite & hot foil release from Pinkfresh Studio! You can check out an individual link list of all the new products HERE!
Just a Note card
Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)
To start I created a top folding A2 sized card base from light pink cardstock. I dry embossed a white cardstock background using the Lush Vines hot foil plate. I use my Spellbinders Platinum 6 with the following sandwich: cutting platform, tan embossing mat, white cardstock, hot foil plate face down, cutting plate. Then just run it through your machine. You might have to make some adjustments based on the pressure of your diecut machine, and you never want to force it through. I have a brand new machine, and the sandwich above works perfectly for me. If you aren't getting good results, try adding a thin paper shim!
I hot foiled the largest Nested Diamond frame in Matte Gold foil, then cut it out with the coordinating die set. I cut a panel from the Rainbow Floral washi tape using the coordinating 1 piece die. I arranged and adhered these items to my card front as shown. I diecut a Leafy Branch from champagne glitter cardstock and the Curvy Leaves from vellum, then tucked them in here & there within the washi pieces.
I added a sentiment from the new Rainbow Sentiments ephemera pack, and also added the "hey" sentiment from our Fancy Script Words hot foil set, foiled in Aura colored foil. It was cut out using the coordinating die set too!
Fuchsias card set
Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)
I created the first card live last week in my combined YouTube sneak peek livestream with Heather. I did end up changing out the sentiment with one from the new Rainbow Sentiments ephemera pack, and I think it looks much better! These cards feature the Fuchsias washi tape and coordinating die. The card I made live also has a dry embossed background with our Sweet Blooms hot foil plate, along with our Simply Diamonds background over top. It also features our new Nested Circles hot foil plates, cut out with the coordinating die set. The card was finished by accenting with trios of metallic gold pearls. You can watch it come together live at this video link!
The second card I made after the live was over, as I wanted to use more of the Fuchsias washi tape pieces. I LOVE fuchsias, but I don't have enough shade to be able to grow them. I think it would be so amazing to have an arch or doorway cascading with fuchsias like this, but for now...I will just have to admire it on a card. Lol! This card features the reverse foiling of our Arch Backdrop hot foil plate in Polished Brass foil that can be accomplished by foiling the leftover piece with our Solid Hot Foil Plate. I cut out the middle with the coordinating Arch Backdrop die. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Dahlias stamp set, and it might be my very fave sentiment from this entire release! I assembled the card as shown then accented with our Jewels Mix in bubblegum and lavender jewels, as well as some metallic gold pearls.
Wonderful Day card
Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)
This card features the new Hibiscus washi tape, which I used the coordinating 1 piece die to cut out a panel. I created a top folding A2 sized card base from lavender colored cardstock, then diecut two white panels using the Geo Tiles die. I stacked and glued them together, then glued directly to the card front. I foiled the Nested Hexagon frames in Lavender Petal and Prism foils, then cut out with the coordinating dies.
I adhered the foiled frames to the card front with foam tape, adding a second layer to the inner frame to add more dimension to the card. I tucked and adhered the Hibiscus washi tape pieces as shown, then added a sentiment from the Rainbow Sentiments ephemera pack. I finished by accenting the flowers with lavender and peach fuzz jewels.
You are Amazing card
Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)
This card features the new Dahlias washi tape which is gold foiled, and just STUNNING friends! I started by diecutting a panel of the Dahlias washi tape using the coordinating 1 piece die. I created a top folding A2 sized card base from maroon colored cardstock. I diecut two Floral Grid panels from white cardstock, then stacked and glued together. I backed it with some very light pink glitter cardstock. I diecut an Ornate Banner frame from gold pearl paper, then used it as a guide to trim off the bottom of the Floral Grid panel so it wouldn't peek underneath on the card. I adhered them both the the card base, popping the gold frame up with foam tape.
I tucked the Dahlia washi tape pieces as shown into the two corners of the card, then added a sentiment from the Rainbow Sentiments ephemera pack to the front with foam tape. I finished the card by accenting with bubblegum jewels and metallic gold pearls.
