Pinkfresh Studio washi tape

An Anniversary card today using the Pink Fresh Studio Washi tape. This comes on a roll and it's about 5 1/2"  high, so much wider than usual washi tape. There are different colour tone frames on the roll, so I teamed some gold pearl cardstock with it and some dark reds. It's another card using the Sizzix Floral Layers die, this time though, all the layers have been cut in the same cardstock. I finished it off with thin strip sentiment and added some Nuvo drops to embellish.

Altenew and Pink Fresh Studio collaboration Celebrate Us

Altenew have just collaborated with Pink Fresh Studio to celebrate the both of them reaching their 6th year in business. They have designed a range of stamps, dies, papers and embellishments called Celebrate Us. Today's card uses one of the Celebrate flower stamp and die. I have used Altenew inks to colour the flower. The background is one of Altenew big stamps called Faceted Stars. I stamped it with Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then run it through my die cutting machine with a stitched rectangle die from my stash. I took the lightest pink ink and blended part of the rectangle, to make the stamp design show through a little. My card blank is top folding and measures 3 7/8" x 5 3/4"  and I attached the panel with foam pads. The flower was then attached in the middle again with foam pads and I added a die cut and stamped sentiment.

Fabulous Florets

Happy Sunday, hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend. Definitely not sitting outside weather, so I hope you are fitting in some crafting time. I have spent ages this week putting all my finshed cards with envelopes into cello bags and stamping sentiments inside. Taken me forever but its finally done, I need to at least do the sentiments inside as I make them. Today's card I made using some more of the washi tape roll I brought recently. This design of washi is just a geometric frame design and comes in a couple of colourways on the roll. I stuck the frame image onto some white card and using my Cricut spatula I pressed any air holes and creases out so its was nice and smooth. I picked out some matching inks from my Altenew collection and stamped the Fabulous Florets flower stamps and leaves which I finally received recently. This stamp set is from a Altenew collection a few months ago, mine just got held up with everything going on post wise. As the washi tape has a gold element to it I stamped and embossed my flowers and leaves outline stamps with gold embossing powder rather than black ink.  I used some matt gold cardstock for the layer behind and the sentiment strip. Finished off with some Nuvo drops.

Pink Fresh Studio Floral Cluster

Hope you are having a great weekend. Today's card is another from the washi tape roll I brought recently. My last post was the wreath design and today's the floral cluster.  The washi tape was attached to some white card and then cut out with the matching die. I have trimmed some off  one side and I picked some cardstock that matches to make the strip. I blended some ink around the edge of the flowers, not showing brilliantly in the photo.  I stamped the sentiment before I attached the flower piece and I have attached with foam pads. Finished off with some Nuvo drops.

Pink Fresh Studio Floral Elements

Nearing the end of another week and the weather is still gorgeous. I recently purchased a bundle of dies, stamps and washi tape from Hochanda by Pink Fresh Studio. If you haven't heard of them , they are an american company that sells cardmaking as well as scrapbooking products. I have mainly used their scrapbooking papers etc but I have always liked the look of their washi but it tends to sell out quickly when online shops over here get it in. So I grabbed a few items when it was on and it's finally came this week as its was on extended delivery. The dies and stamps coordinate but the dies can also be used on the washi tape,which I thought was a great idea. On the washi tape you get a selection of small flowers, a large wreath and a large floral image. Today's card uses the wreath element. I took a Lisa Horton die to make the square and then applied the washi tape wreath to some cardstock and used the matching dies to cut the outside and inside edge. I then took the inside die and cut that out of the square. Its easily done, just lightly mark with a pencil where the die sits in the middle of the wreath on the square, tape the die down and run through your machine. Match the wreath up with the hole you have cut with the inner die and glue down.  I added foam pads behind the square to create an aperture . I then worked out where I wanted to position the anniversary stamp and I stamped that first, then attached the square to the card blank. The "happy" die was glued on the edges that overlap the wreath, there is no way of putting foam pads under it , it's too fine. I did though run it through with some white card two more times and layered together to make it more stable. Finished off with some Nuvo drops as per usual for me nowadays.
