Pinkfresh Studio April Essentials Release Blog Hop

// Comments off

Welcome to Pinkfresh Studio April Essentials Release Blog Hop! After having lots of stamps and floral dies from January Release, don’t you wish that you could have some basic dies to build the foundation of your cards? Now you have it! Whole bunch of Essential dies are here waiting for you!

Today I am featuring the most basic and also the most important dies – Stitched Rectangles. They are simple and basic but somewhat unique to similar products on the market. It comes with 4 nested rectangle dies. Two of them are stitched and two are just simple rectangles. It gives us lots of potential to mix and match so we could achieve variety of shapes. The card I am showing you today is one of examples.

To prep my background, I ink blended an A2 sized watercolor paper (Canson XL) using Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans. Then I splattered some water and white paints to create some textures. I left it aside to dry. I overlapped two of stitched rectangle dies from Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut out my frame from a piece of 100lbs white card stock paper.Then I attached it over my prepped background using Foam strips.

I stamped selected images from Embroidered Blossoms stamp set and die cut them using Matching Dies. Then I adhered all pieces to the lower right sided of my framed card using Multi Medium Matte and Foam squares.

For my sentiment, I picked the one from Heart and Soul Stamp set and stamped it with Memento ink Rich Cocoa. I added a few jewels as embellishments to finish my today’s card.

    It seems basic but as someone who is always trying to get sizes precise for frames having the plane rectangle matched to the stitched one is brilliant !

    I love pretty cards and I love sending them and receiving them…in a time of social media, not many cards and letters are handwritten….Would love for it to become a thing again and not a thing of the pass…

    I agree Alix, the the new Rectangle stitched dies are so well thought out, making it simple ,not overbearing with too many dies that confuse me! Your card is lovely!

  72. Annalisa says:

    What pretty, soft colors you chose for your flowers, Alix. Thanks for sharing with us how you used the frames. Sometimes when there are lots of mix and match options I have a hard time visualizing them, so I like seeing how each designer uses products.
