I enjoy colouring with alcohol markers but sometimes it is good to use stencils to colour my images as it makes it quick and easy to make a card. When I first got this Pink Fresh Studio Nothing But The Best Stamp & Die Set I wondered how it would look with a die cut edge when I saw a video that Bibi Cameron did on YouTube here using acetate to make a die cut edge be more stable. So I used the same concept but just did it a little differently and I was very happy with how it turned out. I added an extra layer of the die cut edge on top as well as another layer of the flowers to add some dimension to the card.

I also had some fun with embossing the Plaid Press Plate. using my Platinum machine and the lovely soft finish to the embossed edge came from a happy accident. I had tried inking the plate before embossing but it did not work out well and thought I had cleaned the plate but it wasn’t and it came out with this lovely soft aqua colour and it just worked so well with the colours I had used in the flowers. Especially as I had used an aqua colour (Turquoise) to ink the images first and also with the sentiment. I added a 1 1/2″ x 5 3/8″ strip to the bottom of the inside back to be able to show up the flowers better.

I struggle with leaving a lot of white space and as I had some of the plaid embossed card left I added a small strip and another coordinating plain aqua strip to the top of the card to cover the lacy edge from the Pink Fresh Studio Lacey Edgers 1 Dies.

Pink Fresh Studio Challenge July 2024 – Thanks For Everything

Here is my final submission for the Pink Fresh Studio Challenge July 2024 this month. This month the challenge is using Geometric designs on your projects and the coordinating inks are: Cherry Blossom, Mimosa, Marigold, Summer Shower & Eucalyptus.

To fulfill the challenge brief I have used the suggested inks to colour in the beautiful hot foiled Pink Fresh Studio Peony Fantasy flowers with the coordinating stencils before die cutting the flowers. For the geometric element I have hot foiled the background with the Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass Hot Foil Plate. I coloured the background using the challenge inks and the coordinating stencils and I then used the Stained Glass die to cut out the decorative frame out of gold cardstock. I added the die to the background but this time offsetting the gold frame to create more pattern on the background. As I had to trim the die I added a frame from the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner dies and I then added the flowers to the top right and bottom left corners.

To complete the card I added Crystal Stickles to the flowers and leave and a hot foiled sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Die set with foam tape and some gold pearls around the flowers and sentiment.

Here is my second card for the Pink Fresh Studio Challenge July 2024 this month. This month the challenge is using Geometric designs on your projects and the coordinating inks are: Cherry Blossom, Mimosa, Marigold, Summer Shower & Eucalyptus.

For my card todayI have got my inspiration from Dawn from WPlus9 Design for a pop-up frame card using the Pink Fresh Studio Vines and Roses Stamp, Stencil and Dies set and the Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass Hot Foil Plate and die to meet the brief for this challenge. You can get the instructions on how to create a pop-up frame card here. I have switched up her design to make it my own by showing a hot foiled design from the Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass Hot Foil Plate through the aperture and using the Pink Fresh Studio Essentials Stitched Scallop Square Dies to create the aperture in the front. I also added a piece of acetate behind the window to allow me to put the scallop edge die in to create the frame as well as adding the hot foiled sentiment on the front.

For the images I have heat embossed the stamped images with gold embossing powder to tie the florals and foliage to the gold in the hot foiled sentiments and background.

And to finish the card I have added some Crystal Stickles to the flowers and leaves and some clear with gold dust gems for some sparkle.

Pink Fresh Studio July 2024 Challenge

I am enjoying playing with the Pink Fresh Studio Challenge July 2024 this month. This month the challenge is using Geometric designs on your projects and the coordinating inks are: Cherry Blossom, Mimosa, Marigold, Summer Shower & Eucalyptus.

I have gone totally outside my comfort zone with my first (hopefully) card for this challenge and gone with a black and white theme using the Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass Die as my geometric element. I have die cut two dies – one from silver glitter paper and one from white cardstock and mixed up this die by putting the white die on top of the silver die upside down to create even more patterns with the die. I have also used the Pink Fresh Studio Essentials Stitched Scallop Square Dies as a diamond in the centre of the card to tie in the diamond geometric theme and also provide a focal point for the sentiment which has been heat embossed with white on black cardstock.

I have coloured the floral images from the Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp set using a no line colouring technique and after die cutting the images I have gone around the edges with black Copic marker to help the images blend into the black background. I am not a fan of using grey colours to colour flowers white and for the flowers I used the colours that Dawn from Wplus9 Design demonstrated here and I was very pleased with my first effort. I also used Dawn’s method of adding glitter to the images but next time I will use a much finer glitter but it still looks stunning in real life.

Some silver pearls finish the card and focus on the sentiment.

Pink Fresh Challenge Card No. 2

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

This is my second card for the Pink Fresh Studio Monthly Challenge for June 2024. This month the challenge is to create an ombre or gradient element and the ink colours are Waterfall, Slumber, Sparkling Rose, Mimosa, Lemon Whip & Soft Lilac.

This card ended up quite different to what I had planned – I made so many mistakes that I had to cover up but in the end the card turned out ok I guess… I was trying to do a different gatefold card after watching an older video of Jennifer McGuires but I ended up gluing the right side flap down and adding the frame on the inside back of the card to cover up some excess glue but this actually gave a good space to write sentiments in the end.

My Project:

I cut a piece of white cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 3″ and 7 1/2: to create a gatefold card. I used the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid Press Plate by hot foiling with Spellbinders Opal foil to create the resist background for my rainbow ink blending using the challenge inks. I then trimmed this panel to two pieces – 2 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ and 1/18″ x 5 3/8″ and added these panels to the left and right side flaps. I ended up gluing the right flap down to the inside back of the card. I die cut 3 frames from the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner Frame dies out of white cardstock and stacked them together. I then die cut a piece of vellum to fit behind the frames an I die cut a plain frame out of white cardstock and added it to the back of the frames to neaten the back before adding it to the left side panel and overhanging on the right side.

For the inside back of the card I die cut a panel out using the medium size dies from the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner Frame dies out of white cardstock and adhered it to the inside back.

I stamped the floral image from the Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp set in Wow embossing ink and heat embossing with gold embossing powder. I coloured the images using the coordinating stencil set using the challenge inks before die cutting the flowers out. I die cut another plain floral die and added the coloured image on top and added it to the right of the frame using foam squares inside the frame.

I stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp set and gold embossed it before die cutting. I die cut another three plain dies and stacked them all together with the stamped image on top. This was then added to the bottom left of the frame using some foam tape to ensure the sentiment is flat.

I finished the card by adding some Glacier gems around the sentiment and flowers.

Roses and Butterfly Pink Fresh Studio Challenge June 2024

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have my first entry for this month’s Pink Fresh Studio Monthly Challenge for June 2024. This month the challenge is to create an ombre or gradient element and the ink colours are Waterfall, Slumber, Sparkling Rose, Mimosa, Lemon Whip & Soft Lilac.

For my card I have really embraced the gorgeous rainbow colours on both the flowers and card base by creating rainbow coloured roses and a hot foiled rainbow coloured panel using the new Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid BetterPress Plate on the background of the card.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I then cut another piece of white cardstock the same size and used the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid BetterPress plate to emboss this card without colour using my Spellbinders Platinum machine. This embossed panel was then added to the front of the card base.

I then hot foiled another piece of white cardstock using Spellbinders Opal foil which acted as a type of resist and then created a rainbow effect by using all the inks in this challenge. I trimmed a piece of this rainbow card to 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″. I die cut the decorative edge from white cardstock using the Pink Fresh Studio Lacey Edges 1 die set and adhered this behind the rainbow strip. This panel was then added to the left side of the card. I finished this edge by adding a very thin strip of white cardstock along the edge with the lace edge.

I stamped the rose image from the Pink Fresh Studio Garden Roses set using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing Powder. I then coloured the roses in a rainbow effect using the stencil and the challenge inks. I die cut this image out and then stacked the die with another 3 plain dies withe the coloured image on top before adding to the front of the card.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate in gold foil and die cut it with the coordinating die. I stacked two plain dies with the foiled sentiment on top and added it to the bottom left of the card over the roses.

I hot foiled the butterflies from the Pink Fresh Studio Small Butterflies Hot Foil Plate in Matte Gold foil and coloured them with Mimosa and Sparkling Rose inks before die cutting with the coordinating die. I added a butterfly using foam squares under the wings.

To finish the card I have added Glacier Jewels around the sentiment and flowers.

Pink Fresh Studio Challenge Card

I am leaving this a bit late but here is my challenge card for the Pink Fresh Studio May 2024 Challenge. The challenge for May is ‘Flower Power’ and the recommended inks are Bubble Gum, Sunkissed, Citron, Atlantis, & Ocean Breeze. For my card I have used the Vines & Roses stamp, stencils and coordinating dies to create the flowers and use the inks. I had a lot of fun mixing and matching the Citron, Atlantis and Ocean Breeze inks on the leaves and the Bubble Gum and Sunkissed inks on the flowers.

My Project

I have created a side folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut another piece of white cardstock the same size and lightly blended Ocean Breeze ink on using the stencil from the Stained Glass Window stencil set. I die cut the Stained Glass die out of white cardstock using the coordinating die and adhered this over the stenciled image. This panel was then added to the front of the card.

I die cut two large frames using the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner Frame dies out of white cardstock. I stacked these together and added the frame to the front of the card.

I stamped the images from the Pink Fresh Studio Roses & Vines stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock and coloured the images with the challenge inks before die cutting with the coordinating die. I added a leaf spray to the top right and bottom left of the card going over the frame.

I die cut three medium frames and one background from the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner Frame dies and stacked them together on the plain background before adding them to the card front over the leaves.

I then added the leaves and flowers to the top right and bottom left of the inner frame using foam squares to get some depth and dimension to the layers.

The sentiment is from the Pink Fresh Studio roses & Vines stamp set and has been stamped in Tuxedo ink on white cardstock and die cut with the coordinating die. I also die cut three plain dies and stacked the dies together with the stamped sentiment on top. This was added to the card as show using some foam tape where needed.

To finish the card I have added some Glacier jewels to the centre of the frame for some sparkle.

Pink and gold make a gorgeous combination and here I have used the Pink Fresh Studio Gold Glitter card to highlight the lacy edge dies and also the Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass Die background. I have also gold embossed the flowers to coordinate with the gold accents and gold embossed sentiment. I am sure that this card will cheer anyone up.

Pink Fresh Studio Peonies and Butterflies Challenge Card

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back and today I have another card for the Pink Fresh Studio March 2024 Challenge.. The challenge for this month was to use frames and the Pink Fresh Studio inks – Mango Sorbet/Fruit Punch, Sunkissed, Sweet Mustard, Eucalyptus, and Ocean Breeze.

For my card today I have used the Pink Fresh Studio Rounded and Braided Rectangle dies to frame luscious peonies coloured with Mango Sorbet/Fruit Punch, Sunkissed, Sweet Mustard, Eucalyptus and Ocean Breeze inks and finished with a gold hot foiled sentiment, butterflies and gold pearls.

For my card I have created a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of heavy weight white cardstock. I die cut the outer and inner braided frames from a piece of white 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card and backed it with some gold glitter card before adding it to the card front. I then die cut a frame using the middle braided dies on white cardstock and backed it with some gold glitter cardstock and added it to the card front with foam tape for dimension.

I hot foiled the Peony Fantasy images in gold foil and coloured them with the challenge inks before die cutting them out. I added the flowers and leaves to the top right and bottom left corners using foam tape on the top flowers for added dimension.

I hot foiled the sentiments using the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and die cut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut two other plain sentiments and stacked them with the foiled sentiment on top and then added the sentiment to the centre of the frames.

I used the Pink Fresh Studio solid hot foil plate to reverse foil the small butterflies in Matte Gold foil and die cut them with the coordinating die. I added a butterfly to the bottom right and top left of the frame as shown.

To finish I added some gold pearls around the sentiment.

Pink Fresh Studio Challenge Card March 2024

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Welcome back and today I have another card to share with you today that I made for the Pink Fresh Studio March 2024 Challenge. The challenge for this month was to use frames and the Pink Fresh Studio inks – Mango Sorbet/Fruit Punch, Sunkissed, Sweet Mustard, Eucalyptus, and Ocean Breeze.

For my card I have used the Fancy Circles frames for the frame component and I have used all the inks to colour in the Pink Fresh Studio Nothing But the Best image using the coordinating stencils. I am enjoying these challenges because it makes me use different colour combinations to what I normally use like the pink inks.

To make my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of lighter weight white cardstock and die cut it using the Pink Fresh Studio Sparkling Diamonds Cover Plate and this was added to the front of the card. I die cut two large frames using the Pink Fresh Studio Fancy Circles Frames dies out of white cardstock and stacked them together. I adhered the frame to the front of the card slightly lower than centre using foam tape. I then added one of the extra circles to the inside of the frame.

I stamped the image from the Pink Fresh Studio Nothing But the Best Stamp set on Neenah Solar Crest 80 Ib in Tuxedo ink. I coloured the images with the Challenge inks using the coordinating stencils and then die cut the image. I die cut another plain die and added the coloured image to the top and adhered it to the top half of the circle using foam tape for added dimension and strength.

To complete my card I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Tuxedo ink on white cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die. I die cut two extra plain sentiments and stacked the three dies together with the stamped sentiment on top. This was glued to the inside the frame at the base of the circle. Then I added some blue jewels around the sentiment and flowers.
