Welcome to the April challenge at Pinkfresh Studio! You all created such amazing projects for last month's challenge, and we can't wait to see what you create this month! This challenge is for ALL papercrafters - including scrapbooking, cardmaking, minis, journals, notebooks & more!
If you haven't checked it out yet, we featured our Top 3 Cards & Layouts, plus the prize winners from the March challenge on yesterday's post! Who knows...maybe it will be YOU this month! You never know unless you play along! :)
April is all about GOLD!
This month our challenge is all about gold! There are SO many possibilities for this challenge, and SO many different products you can use! If you picked up any of our recently release gold foil washi tapes, these are PERFECT for the challenge. You can also use gold paint or ink, diecut from gold paper, or do some hot foiling with our brand new hot foil plates!
The sky is the limit, and we can't wait to see your challenge projects. This can include layouts, cards, tags, notebook spreads, mini albums, DIY decor...anything that is papercrafting related. As always, you are welcome to use just the theme, just the colors or mix them together and use both!

Love the idea of using gold ;)
I love colour challenges as it forces me to use the colour combinations that I would not normally use together. My usual go to colour combinations are blues and greens and sometimes I throw in a yellow. I found this challenge a little difficult as I have very limited Pinkfresh Studio products – need to rectify that real soon. Love the inspiration provided by the team….
Hi. I used the only two stamp sets that I have. Used the flowers from the Keep going stamp set and the quote from the Folk Hummingbird stamp set. I have never created anything like this, so thank you for this interesting challenge <3
Thanks for the challenge, I used the Some Days collection to create my page. I added a touch of gold with sequins.
I love all the possibilities of Some Days, graphic or floral, it’s great!
I used the fun stuff you gave us for Crop and Create Delivered. Thanks!! :)
I love this challenge! You can’t beat a bit of gold sparkle and pretty florals ❤️
Super inspired by the projects! I made a layout with my parents’ wedding cake picture. Thought they looked so happy and these colors were perfect!
Hi there,
Thanks so much for hosting this challenge, it’s my first one and can’t wait to participate in more! The new anemone washi tape I used has. My heart ♥️
My first time entering here… Absolutely love your products and this was a fun theme! I added some gold accents and golden hues to my project, hope you like! Using stencils would be a fun challenge idea, I just bought some from your brand. xx
Used Karen markers with the metallics added in to give the colors a gold sheen
Beautiful, beauuuutiful cards!
You had me at gold! 🤩
Gorgeous projects!! Another fun challenge, too! :)
Happy 7th birthday Pink fresh Studio! I love your layering stencils.
Thanks, team, for more examples of how to use these wonderful Washis! Each of your cards is a charmer, for sure!
