Pinkfresh Studio May Essentials Release - New Card Size!! Mini Slimline!



Hi Friends! It's always fun to share new products with you, but today we get to share a new card format! The mini slimline!! I am madly in love! It's the cutest size, just like a little pamphlet, and the smaller size makes filling the space so much easier, yet there's still plenty of room to write your message inside. 

You may have arrived on the blog hop from Keia Shipp-Smith, but if not feel free to start with the Pinkfresh Studio Blog.


This mini slimline card is 3 1/4" x 6 1/4" and has a Mini Slimline Essentials Bundle Pack with everything you need, including two types of stitched mat sets! This card uses the horizontal stitching rectangle die, but there's also a diagonal stitched rectangle die, both in several different sizes.


There are two different Blanket Stitched Oval Dies and each one cuts an oval and an oval hole. I used the smaller oval hole here to have the Joyful Peony pop through, and the larger oval shape to outline it. LOVE all that texture around the oval!

I curved the sentiment to follow the shape of the oval and embossed it in gold.


The patterned paper on the front and inside the card is from the Happy Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad
 
TIP: Looking for an easy way to pick coordinating papers? Flip the paper over! The diamond patterned paper inside the card is actually the reverse side of the pink floral pattern on the front. Love this trick, as you're sure to get a well-matched patter without much thought or second guessing!


Did you notice the MATCHING ENVELOPE underneath the card?! So darn cute!! There's a Mini Slimline Envelope Die for this! The paper used for this envie, as well as the next two envies are from the Some Days 12x12 Paper Pack.


This card shows what both of the diagonal stitched mini slimline rectangles look like together on a card. Love the layers!

My new favorite edge is the Folk Edge Circle Die Set! What a great mix of stitching and tiny holes! I haven't seen anything like it on the market. I used one of the smaller circles in this set to cut a slit for me to stick the floral stems thru.


The flowers are leftovers from one set of the Be Strong Stamp/Die/Stencil set ... this is the third card I've made with the dies from this set, and I've still got one floral bunch left. Such a useful set, I've kept it out on my desk! Added epoxy dots for good measure.


I layered the main sentiment on top of the larger secondary sentiment to make it a little more interesting.



Finally, this card uses the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle die to cut the panel, with the Be Strong image stamped on the die cut. Once I adhered the bottom Butterfly to the panel I die cut the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle again to make it stay in the background.


The layered circle die cuts are also from the Mini Slimline Essentials Die Set. So many different combinations possible. I embossed one of the sentiments from the Butterflies set (which unfortunately is still out of stock, but will be restocked in early June, so keep checking back! Such a great set).


Just the body of the butterfly is glued down, so you can fold out his wing. More 12x12 double sided Some Days paper was used to make the cute ccoordinating envelope.

  22. Hi, Kelly - I like all these cards very much. The first and last are my favorites. Love the inside decoration on the first card, along w/ the gorgeous exterior. Thanks for building up my papercrafting trendy jargon: "envie" was / is new to me. I'll try to start using this right away so as not to sound passé with boring old "envelope." LOL. Thanks for showing many ways to use the products - and that butterfly card is GORGEOUS! So pretty!
