Pinkfresh Studio March 2020 Essentials Slim Cut Release Blog Hop
Happy release day Crafters! Today Pinkfresh Studio is celebrating the March-2020 Essentials Slim Cut with a fabulous blog hop. So therefore, if you’re hopping along with us, welcome as you should have be arriving from TaeEun's Blog but, if this is your starting point, I’d like to invite you to start from Pinfresh Studio’s Blog as, I’m your last stop from the list.
With that being said, today I’d like to share with you these 2-Floral/Colorful Hello & Happy Birthday cards that, I’ve created showcasing the just released and very essential Slim Edgers Die Set. Besides that, I’ll be listing the supply list of what I used to create the cards along with all details on how to win prizes and how to save on shipping. So, without further ado let’s jump into the blog post ↓
To begin with, I started by trimming down 6 card panels from different color cardstock to W 3-3/4’’x H 8-1/2’’ once I had them trimmed down, I lined up on the right edge one of the dies from the Slim Edgers Die Set, and I ran the card panel along with the die through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine to create the detailed stitched edge. Right after having the first die-cutting card panel, I repeated so on and so forth the same step for the next 5 card panels.
So therefore, after having all 6 card panels done, I stacked them all with double-side tape however, I left a 1/4 of an inch in between them. By doing that, I also was following the dimension for the card panel on the bottom that means that, I was trimming down the excess from the card panel on top that’s why I ended up with a very slim card panel after creating a rainbow card panel if you will.
Lastly, after creating the rainbow and detailed card panel, I white heat embossed a sentiment on the bottom part of the card panel and I mounted with liquid glue and square adhesives a floral cluster that, I’ve had previously created with a die cut shape from the My Favorite Story Floral Ephemera + greenery die-cutting pieces which, I created using dies from the Dainty Blossoms Die Set to die-cut them out of white cardstock. Finally, to finish the card off, I mounted the backing to the card panel with double-sided tape to an A9 size white card base, and I glued down here and there some jewels from the Essentials: Jewel Mix.
NOTE: Here are the precise measurements for a card base without having the extra frame around you card as these dies are designed to perfectly fit on a card base with the following dimensions; W3-5/8 x H 8-5/8 in.
For the second example, I used another die out of the 4 dies included in the set to create the outer detail for the card panel. As for the White and Hot Pink card panels on this card, I used the same dimensions that I used for the previous card panel in the first example. So therefore, I lined up the die on the edge of the Hot Pink card panel and I ran it through the die-cutting machine then, I flipped it over and I lined up on the other edge. Because, these dies are designed to only cut the edge it is easy to line them up a bit inwards to create a border in between just like I did for this example.
Lastly, after having both card panels I gold heat embossed a sentiment on the white card panel then, I adhered the backing of the white card panel with double-sided tape to the Hot Pink. Right after that, I mounted the layered card panel with foam mounting tape to an A9 card white card base along with a second floral cluster that I’ve had created in the same way as I did for the first example with the only difference that instead of white greenery, I used color cardstock for an extra pop of color. Finally, as a finishing touch I glued down here and there some jewels for a touch of shine. By the way, I’d like to mention that both sentiments used on today’s cards are from the Scripted Bold Sentiments 2 stamp set. With that said, I hope these cards inspire you to give the new Essential Slim Cut Dies a try! Don’t forget to leave a comment in the COMMENT SECTION below for a chance to win a $25.00 gift card.
