Friendship Slimline┃Inspiration Card

Happy Wednesday, Friends! On today’s blog, I’m sharing with you a very delicate and dimensional inspiration card made with a “Floral & Slimline” look using the Jeff Alpha Die from the latest November-2022 Stamp, Die, Stencil & Hot Foil Release by Pinkfresh Studio. Also, to make this card, I’ve used Heartfelt Thanks Slimline Stamp Set and Heartfelt Thanks Slimline Layering Stencil Set plus, Essentials Blanket Stitch Slimline & Mini Slimline Rectangles to add the slimline design. And lastly, Glitter Drops: Champagne to add an extra pop of sparkle, and PFS- Inks to add pops of colors to the floral design. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made it ↓

Therefore, I started by getting the hot foil stamping done for the alphabet letters to create the addition of hot foil stamping to them, so to do that, I used the inner dies from each letter along with the Glimmer Hot Foil System Platform and Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine plus, pieces of white cardstock and pieces of Glimmer Hot Foil Roll: Aura. Next, because I was using dies not hot foil plates, I would like to add that I added a piece of 300gsm cardstock piece to use as a shim to add pressure when I was doing the hot foil stamping.

Thus, after getting the hot foil stamping done for the inner layer of each letter from the Jeff Alpha Die set, I went ahead to use the outer layer dies from each letter to die-cut them out from the cardstock, and I put them aside.

Meanwhile, I went ahead to use the Memory MISTI and a large piece of white cardstock along with the Heartfelt Thanks Slimline Stamp Set and the Heartfelt Thanks Slimline Layering Stencil Set to get the floral image stamped with Warm Buff Ink. Next, I got the stamped image ink up using the stencils along with a few ink blending brushes and the following ink combination; Warm Buff Ink, Ballet Slipper Ink, and Coral Reef Ink for the entire floral image plus, Clementine Ink for the flower’s centers. Besides that, I used Fresh Pear Ink and Olive Ink for the leaves.

Moving on, as soon as, I had finished inking up the floral image, I went ahead to use the larger die included in the Essentials Blanket Stitch Slimline & Mini Slimline Rectangles to cut out the front card panel and add the stitched detail to it. Then, after getting it die-cut from the cardstock piece, I proceeded to get the backing of it adhered with double-sided adhesive to a slimline size white card base. Lastly, I went ahead to use craft foam adhesives to get each letter mounted over the front card panel to create the Friend word over it with them. Afterward, you can see in the image above how the addition of the delicate hot foil stamping matches perfectly matches with the blanket stitched touch from the card panel.

Finally, to finish the card off I went ahead to get a sub-sentiment stamped over a strip of white cardstock because I wanted to get a sub-sentiment mounted over the Friend word but then, I decided not to add it on the outer side of the card but instead, I decided to get the sentiment stamped inside the card just like you can see it in the image above.

And, with that being said friends, I hope that you’ve enjoyed reading the step-by-step for how I’ve made this delicate and dimensional inspiration card made with a “Floral & Slimline” look using stamps, stencils, and dies by Pinkfresh Studio.
