Watercolouring Pink Fresh Studio Nothing But the Best Stamp

I have been working on my colouring techniques with both watercolour and alcohol markers. I am really enjoying the process and see my self getting better with each practice session. I used to do watercolour painting many years ago and even had an exhibition but life got in the way and it got pushed to the back burner. However, with all the beautiful floral stamps that are available now I have got back into watercolouring.

For my image I have done a no-line watercolouring of the Pink Fresh Studio Nothing But the Best Stamp on Spellbinders Better Press Watercolour Paper. I am not that happy with the watercolours as they are not very transparent – the greens were very grainy in particular – and it was not as easy to do all the shading. I have started another image using Windsor and Newton Artist Quality Watercolour paints and it is so much better. I will look at getting some hot pressed watercolour paper from the local art supply shop shortly.

I have made a frame for the image using two large Postage Edge dies from Amazing Paper Grace. I have scored at 1/2″ along the top edge to create the hinge which was glued to the top of the front die. I added a stitched edge rectangle to the front and then I then die cut the image using the Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Rectangles Dies and adhered it to the front of the frame with some fun foam for dimension.

Today I am sharing a second card that I created for the for the Pink Fresh Studio February 2024 Challenge which was to use the following Pink Fresh Studio inks Sparkling Rose, Sunkissed, Spruce Tips, and Paradise and gold or have some hearts in your project. This colour combination is just so beautiful and I will be using it again.

For my project I have created a top folding A2 sized card. I cut another piece of white card slightly smaller and lightly stenciled the background using Turquoise ink. This was then adhered to the card front.

I then die cut circles out and added them to the front of the stenciled image – I used two outer and one inner circle to create some dimension. I ink blended some Turquoise ink to one of the inner circles and then added it to the centre of the frame.

I stamped the Magnolias stamp using WOW embossing ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I then coloured the flowers and leaves using the challenge inks – Sunkissed, Sparkling Rose, Paradise and Spruce Tips. The images were die cut and layered around the circle as shown.

For the sentiment I hot foiled the sentiment in Matte Gold Foil and die cut it with the coordinating die. I die cut another two plain dies and stacked these together and adhered the sentiment to the right of the flowers using some foam tape.

I hot foiled the small butterflies with Matte Gold foil and then coloured the butterflies with the coordinating stencil using Sunkissed and Sparkling Rose inks. I then die cut the butterflies and added this butterfly to the circle above the sentiment.

To finish my card I added some gold pearls around the flowers to meet the challenge brief.

I am a bit late with this challenge but I have had some camera issues and eventually had to get a new camera which I am still learning to use. This card is for the Pink Fresh Studio February 2024 Challenge which was to use the following Pink Fresh Studio inks Sparkling Rose, Sunkissed, Spruce Tips, and Paradise and gold or have some hearts in your project. I went for the inks as I do have them and I was very happy with my pretty colourful butterflies. I had to add the green inks and as I did not have any Pink Fresh Studio leaf dies I decided to do some ink smooshing with the Paradise and Spruce Tip inks and create a shaker element that looks like sky with the opal coloured sequins looking like clouds. I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Circle dies to create the frame as this is similar to a Pink Fresh Studio die. I created some subtle texture just with scoring every 1/8″ on the top panel and finished the card with some hot foiled sentiments in gold and some gold pearls.

Thanks for Everything with Pink Fresh Studio

I have just purchased some new inks from Pink Fresh Studio and they are just gorgeous. My favourite new colours to use are the Rose Garden set with Cherry Blossom, Peony, Begonia and Mulberry Bush colours in this set. I was very excited with this set and have used the colours in lots of new projects including this card for the Pink Fresh Studio January Challenge. This Challenge is a ‘Year in Review’ where we could pick any month from the last year to create a project. Of course I had to go for the April 2023 Challenge which was ‘Flowers’. I do not have the full range of Pink Fresh Studio inks for the ink colour challenge so I just went for the flowers instead. I just love the Garden Roses stamp, stencil and coordinating die set and the Rose Garden ink set was perfect with this set, which I paired with the new Green Gables ink set for the leaves. I also added some subtle shimmer and sparkle by adding Opalescent Stardust Butter to the entire rose flowers and they came out very soft, dreamy and romantic.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I die cut two dies out of white cardstock using the Stained Glass die and turned one upside down before putting them on the front of the card.

I have gone for a no-line colouring finish by just using the stencils to colour the images with the pink and green inks. I then added some Opalescent Stardust Butter to all the roses and then die cut them with the coordinating die. The pressure of the die cutting machine helped to smooth out the stenciling nicely. I die cut another plain die and adhered the coloured image to the plain die and then added it to the front of the card using Bearly Art Glue.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil set and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut another two plain dies and stacked the three dies together with the foiled sentiment on top. This sentiment was then added to the front of the card as shown.

To finish I added some pink jewels around the flowers and sentiment.

The instructions to create the base card is here.

My Project

I have made the base card using the instructions linked above. I have used the Pink Fresh Studio Sparkling Diamonds Cover Plate and the Pink Fresh Studio Square Stitched Scallops to decorate the base card.

The embellishments were quick and easy as I used the Pink Fresh Studio Enchanting Flora Washi Tape and coordinating die and the sentiments were hot foiled in Rose Gold foil using the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and coordinating die.

Celebrating with Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Magnolia – Honey Cuts

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have a very pretty card to share with you today featuring the gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Magnolia – Honey Cuts. This is a beautiful flower with lots of details and was so easy to colour and put together. The pink flower really pops as I have used a complementary colour – green to coordinate with the pink. I am definitely going to invest in more Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers flowers as they are just stunning.

My project today

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I then layered black and white cardstock using my Crafty Corners. I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and stenciled the brick background using Mint ink and the Gina K Designs – Stencils – Brick Wall. This was then added to the card front to create the base for the leaves and flowers.

I die cut the large leaves from the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Spring Greenery – Honey Cuts out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock. I coloured them with Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll and Key Lime inks and shaped them lightly with my fingers. I then trimmed the ends and added them to the card front creating a corner on the lower left of the card.

I have die cut all the leaves and flowers from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Magnolia – Honey Cuts out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock. I coloured the petals with Ballet Slippers and Sparkling Rose inks before assembling the flower using foam tape to pop the petals. I then die cut the leaves from the same card and coloured them with Mint, Meadow and Emerald City inks. These were shaped lightly using my fingers. I added the leaves to the bottom left over the larger leaves using some foam tape for dimension. I then added the magnolia to the top of the leaves with some foam tape.

I stamped the sentiments from the Pink Fresh Studio – Basic Banners Stamp Set in Altenew Obsidian Black ink on white cardstock and die cut with the coordinating die. I then die cut two more banners using plain cardstock and stacked three banners together with the stamped image on top. This was added to the top of the card as shown.

To finish I have added some clear iridescent gems to the card for a bit of sparkle.

Welcome back and today I have a sweet celebration card to share with you that would be perfect for any occasion for celebration be it a wedding, birthday or a special milestone. For my card I have used the gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers – Dogwood Honey Cuts dies to create a pretty floral accent to the embossed background and beautiful layering dies from Marianne Designs. I have been enjoying mixing and matching different products from different companies to create my cards.

My Project

For my card today I have created a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card and added an embossed layer using the Honey Bee Stamps Dogwood Blooms 3D embossing folder. I am so impressed with the embossing on this folder! I have then layered the gorgeous dies from the Marianne Designs LR0376 to create a frame for the beautiful layered dogwood blooms. I have die cut two bases for the flowers out of white cardstock and after stacking them together I have used Copic markers to colour the stems. I then die cut the flowers and leaves and coloured them with green and pink inks.

To finish the card I have added a hot foiled sentiment using the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and coordinating die. And then I added some iridescent gems from Taylored Expressions.

Such a quick and easy card that took longer to decide what products to use than actually make the card.

Pink Fresh Studio Thank You Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia Ora Koutou

Today I am sharing a quick and easy Thank You card featuring the Pink Fresh Studio Anemone Magic washi tape flowers and dies. These flowers were left over from card kits I made for my friend Meetu at Krafters Cart where I will be teaching some classes at SENZ in Auckland next weekend. I love the Pink Fresh studio Stained Glass die and here I have die cut two dies and adhered one upside down to create a new look for my background. The round Stitched Scallop dies created a frame for the pretty flowers and I have finished the card with a hot foiled sentiment and vellum butterflies.

My Project

For my card I have made a tent fold 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I have die cut two dies using the Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass die and adhered them together by putting one the opposite way to the other to make a wonderful textured background. I then die cut the circle die using the Pink Fresh Studio Essentials Stitched Scallop Circles die and adhered it to the front of the card. I added some flowers around the circle and added a hot foiled sentiment to the centre of the circle from the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments set. To finish the card I added a couple of vellum hot foiled butterflies from the Pink Fresh Studio Small Butterflies Hot Foil Plate and Die sets.

This card was so quick and easy to put together.

Pink Fresh Studio Garden Roses Pocket Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Today I am sharing a card that has a pocket inside that is just right for a gift voucher to give to someone special to say thank you. This card design could also be used for birthday and Christmas as well and is very easy to make. I was inspired for this card by a card that Pink Fresh Studio Influencer Yasmin Diaz created on Instagram. I have switched it up and turned it around and made the pocket for the gift voucher rather than for another smaller card like Yasmin has done.

My project

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card that is side folding. I have created three layers of lacey edges for the front using the lacey edge die from the Lacey Edges 1 die on the front of the card. I then added a panel in the front of the card and embossed it with the Stained Glass Die for more texture. For the inside of the card. I have cut a piece of white cardstock 5 3/8″ x 4 5/8″, scored at 2 1/2″ aong the long side and folded it to create a pocket. I have glued down the edges and then adhered the pocket to the inside of the card. I then added an embossed panel 2 3/8″ x 5 1/4″ to the front of the pocket.

I stamped the image from the Garden Rose Stamp in Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I coloured the images with pink and green inks using the coordinating stencils and then die cut with the matching die. I also cut another plain die to adhere the coloured image on top. I trimmed the roses to fit the front and inside back of the card as shown.

I hot foiled the sentiments from the Perfect Sentiment Hot Foil plate and die cut them out with the coordinating die. I also die cut another plain die to add the foiled sentiment on top. I then adhered the ‘Just a note’ sentiment to the top left of the card and the ‘thank you’ sentiment to the bottom right of the inside back.

To finish I have added some gold pearls around the sentiments.

I was inspired to create this pop up card by a reel on Instagram from Pink Fresh Studio with instructions on how to make the card. The finished card looks amazing but it was incredibly easy to make and the instructions were very easy to follow. It took longer to die cut all the washi tape flowers and decorate the card! And I love how I have used the sentiments to create a little story for the recipient! This would make a fabulous birthday, wedding or any very special occasion card for someone very special.
