Hi there! Today I’m joining Pinkfresh Studio for their Essentials Slim Cuts Release Blog Hop.
I made two long & slim cards using some of the new dies. My cards are 4″x 9″ long. My first card features the Slim Diagonal Stripes die. I die cut a panel of white cardstock & colored the inner diagonal stripes with Copics to create a colorful pattern inlayed into the die cut panel.
My next card uses the Slim Stitched Rectangles & Slim Edger dies. For both cards I used the Adore Alpha dies for the sentiment. I added the “love” die cut on this card from the Classic Words die set.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
GIVEAWAYS!
Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog, and IG feed.
Leave me a comment for your chance to win a $25 gift card!
Winners will be posted on Monday, March 30th on the GIVEAWAY PAGE. Please check that page & claim their prize within 2 weeks.
