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.

A Sparkly Rainbow Birthday Card

I recently won a challenge in a Facebook group for one of my cards and I was thrilled with my prize that I received. In it was this gorgeous stencil with no branding on it but I loved it. I am relatively new to stenciling and ink blending so I had another go at a rainbow design but this time I added some sparkle to the ink blending with some Nuvo glitter paste – Moonstone. I was thrilled with the result and I will definitely do this again. I have kept my card very simple so as not to distract from the pretty sparkly pattern and just added a simple white border from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles and a white flower die that I embossed from Spellbinders that I have had for quite a while. A simple hot foiled ‘Hello’ from Pink Fresh Studio and a stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ from Honey Bee Stamps finished off this card. I was inspired for my card from a card on Instagram – however that card featured a plain dramatic ink blended background and white accents. I am in my happy space with pastels and sparkles.

Pink Fresh Studio Garden Roses Pocket Card

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.
