Slimlines and Gel Press with Ceal

by Ceal Pritchett on Dec 02 2020

Hey Y'all! It's Ceal and today I am sharing some slimline cards that uses the Slim Line Die Cutting System along with the Gel Press. Can you believe that it is December already? I have to get moving on my Christmas cards so I made 4 using this technique that I learned from Lydia. To create these cards, I cut out some of the snowflakes from the Winter Snowflakes die set, the Lydia snowflake die and the LaWanda snowflake dies out of copy paper. I places some acrylic paint on the Gel Press and brayered over it. Next I placed the snowflakes down on top of the paint and placed the sheet of copy paper over it and gently rubbed over the entire Gel Press. I lifted the copy paper for the print and then removed the snowflakes so I could reuse them. The paint colors I used on the blue were Peacock, Sky and Turquoise all by Dina Wakley. The paint colors I used on the green card were Peacock and Lemon and when I ran the brayer over them it became green. The last two cards I used the holy trinity as lydia refers to it, Magenta, Lemon and Turquoise. On every card I used the large and smaller rectangle die from the Slim Line Die Cutting System. I love how using your dies as stencils and masks as I have on my cards, stretches your dies. I hope you have enjoyed this post and if you don't have a Gel Press, that you would invest in one. they are so fun! Below you will find links to the products used.

Slimline baby card

by Michelle Lupton on Nov 27 2020

I have a baby card to share today using products from the November release at Picket Fence Studios. I started by creating a background with the slimline flowers stencil and my Life Changing Blender Brushes and Distress Oxide inks. I coloured the cute little baby image with a mixture of copic markers and Derwent pencils to give the pale, no-line colouring look. I cut the squares out of a panel of white cardstock to fit over the slimline card base (I made them wonky, mainly because I need practice lining them up nice and straight!) and finished with a little sentiment that I tucked into the bottom edge of one of the square windows. Thanks for visiting :)

NEW Slim Line Cards with Larisa

by Larisa Hohman on Nov 25 2020

Hello, hello! Larisa here and today, I'm sharing two fun and easy cards using the new Slim Line Die Cutting System as well as some of the new products from the November Release! All products used are linked below. Be sure to check out the Picket Fence Shop to see all the new goodies! For my first, card, I started with some teal card stock and die cut it using the largest rectangle from the Slim Line Die Cutting System. Then I use the smaller rectangle from a lighter blue card stock. I used the stitched circle die in the set to create random circles on my lighter blue panel. Then I adhered it to the teal piece. I used some of the new snowflake dies to cut snowflakes in various sizes from white card stock, holographic card stock, and glassine paper. Then I layered them on top of my card and adhered with Glossy Accents. I added some scattered sequins throughout the card and finished it off with a sentiment heat embossed in white on black card stock. Such a quick and easy card that really packs a punch! For my next card, I used the new Slim Line Die cutting System and paired it with the new Pet all the Dogs Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. To begin, I chose a bright blue piece of card stock and die cut it using the largest rectangle in the set. Then, I die cut a piece of white card stock using the smaller rectangle die. I used the picket fence die to cut three openings in my white panel. Then I used the grass die to cut three grass pieces from green card stock. I layered each one behind the picket fence openings and adhered them together. Then I colored up my dogs, cut them out using the coordinating dies, and tucked one of them in between my grass and fence. Then I adhered it all together and popped my dogs on top using foam tape. I stamped my sentiment across the top and added some die cut clouds from the A Spooky Day Stamp and Coordinating Die set. Again, another quick and easy card that's sure to brighten anyone's day!

Happy Ho Ho Ho to you with Karen Reategui

by Karen Reategui on Nov 18 2020

Hello crafty friends! Today I’m over Picket Fence Studios blog sharing these two Christmas cards. I’m featuring Baker’s Twine and HO HO HO Stamp set. Also Gin & Tonic and Moonshine Sequin Mixes. Let’s begin! For the first card I started by applying distress oxide inks with the Life Changing Blender Brushes to a panel. I used Aged Mahogany, Festive Berries and Abandoned Coral. Once my panel was dry, I trimmed down the edges and adhered a white folded note card at the back. Then, I stamped this large sentiment from Ho Ho Ho Stamp and I heat embossed it with WOW! Red Glitz Embossing Glitter. I repeated this step three times to get a bit more of dimension on my sentiment. Finally, I stamped the images from the Baker’s Twine Stamp and heat embossed them with WOW! Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder. With a red gel pen I filled in the empty spaces of the twine and lastly, I added a few sequins from Gin & Tonic Sequin Mix. For the second card I also applied distress oxide inks with the Life Changing Blender Brushes to another panel. I used Black Soot, Lucky Clover and Cracked Pistachio. When my panel was dry, I trimmed down the edges and adhered a white folded note card at the back using glue. Next, I stamped the sentiment from Ho Ho Ho Stamp and I heat embossed it with WOW! Red Glitz Embossing Glitter. I repeated this step three times to get a bit more of dimension on my sentiment. Last, I stamped the images from the Baker’s Twine Stamp and heat embossed them with WOW! Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder. I filled in the empty spaces of the twine with a red gel pen and finally, I added a few sequins from Gin & Tonic Sequin Mix and this card was finished. Thank you so much crafty friends for stopping by and I hope you like these cards and get some inspiration. Please have a wonderful rest of the week. Blessings, Karen

Slim Line Diecutting System cards with Erica!

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Nov 10 2020

Hi guys! It’s Erica back on the blog today with some cards made with previously made backgrounds and the Slim Line Diecutting System! I have a habit of making more backgrounds than I need when I’m on a roll, just to be on the safe side... and because I really like it. What can I say? Ink blending, stencilling and ink smooshing is so much fun! It does lead to a big pile of backgrounds, which do come in handy when you then want to play with the Slim Line Diecutting System. I started out by using the smaller rectangle on a panel made with the Slim Line Dashes. After ink blending with the stencil, I spritz water on top of the left over ink, then place water colour paper on top and press down to “print”. This gives a bit of a water coloured look, and it’s a great way to get at least one more extra background out of your ink blending! On this rectangle I then used the forest silhouette square, three times. The negatives I kept for a second card. These I added to a white rectangle with foam tape, stamped up a sentiment from Inside Quotes: Christmas in Black Hybrid Ink and added a generous sprinkling of Gin & Tonic sequins with the help of Glossy Accents. The first panel I adhered to a background made with the Stars Stencil and Artemisa Silver Paper Glaze on white pearlescent card stock. This one was also finished off with a simple sentiment from the Inside Quotes: Christmas stamp set and Black Hybrid Ink. Using another pre coloured panel, this one with a now VERY discounted Peony Bouquet stamp set, I used the stitched circle to cut out the flowers from it. Here is a fun tip: You don’t have to use the cutouts lined up straight on your background. On this card I didn’t even cut them out as full circles, just to change things up further! The card base was made with one white rectangle, and layered up with one smaller cut out of green card stock. This one had a little texture added to it by inks blending some green ink through the Slim Line Dashes stencil with a Life Changing Blender Brush. The sentient is from Seriously Literally, and is stamped with Black Hybrid ink on white card stock, then trimmed down and adhered to the card across the circles. I also had a background made with the Slim Line Floral stencil and Golden Rose Paper Glaze on white card stock. I love this combo, it’s so elegant. I decided to turn this into a wedding card, but had to fix a little problem. I managed to smudge the paper glaze when I put it on, I might have overworked it a little or not covered the stencil with enough Pixie Spray. To cover it up, I used the stitched circle over it and simply cut out the bad bit. This one was finished off with a gold heat embossed sentiment from Fancy Sentiment stamp set, and some Candy Corn Shot sequins along the edge of the sentiment banner. The last card is made with another slim line stencil, this time the Radial one and one of my fave colour combos for it: Yellow, orange and red. I love this look so much and made so many with this combo. Too many maybe... Anyway! I used the stitched circle again, and cut out the middle of the panel. On the back of this I adhered acetate to create a see-through window, and all around the edges and the circle I added foam tape. This whole shebang was adhered to a dark grey card base, cut to size with the larger rectangle, after a good amount of sequins from the Candy Corn Shot sequin mix was added to the window. As it’s a shaker card I thought this sentiment ‘this card contains a lot of nuts and bolts’, from the So Franken Cute stamp set, was a fun way to finish it off. Well, with that last one, that is it from me but I really hope you like these cards and found a good dose of inspiration here. The Slim Line Diecutting System really does give you so many different ways to make cards, and it really is so much fun to try them out! There will be a YouTube video coming to the Picket Fence Studios channel for these cards too, so make sure you subscribe to the channel and click that bell to get a notification when a new video is uploaded! Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Alcohol ink kaleidoscope with Michelle Lupton

Hello! It's Michelle here today, and I'm sharing my very first attempt at a new technique (well, new to me!) I added the kaleidoscope stencil over my gel press, and then added two colours of alcohol ink and one colour of alcohol pearls. I brayered them over the stencil, then removed the stencil and allowed them to dry. I then brayered a thin layer of white acrylic gouache over the top and took a print from the gel press. I finished the card with the Thankyou for being you sentiment stamp and some Gin and Tonic sequins. Thanks for visiting :)

Hello Lovely Slim Line with Larisa

by Larisa Hohman on Nov 04 2020

Hello! Or should I say, "Hello, Lovely!" I hope you are having a fabulous week! Today, I am sharing a pretty slim line card featuring the NEW Slim Line Die Cutting System! As you've probably already heard, this Die Cutting System is so easy to use and offers endless possibilities! For my card, I paired it with some patterned paper and Beautiful Girl Karen! First, I die cut the smaller rectangle from some plaid patterned paper. Then I layered that on top of some white card stock die cut with the larger rectangle. This created the base panel for my card. Then I used the tree square from the set and die cut that from some white card stock. I trimmed around the edges to create a white border and then layered that onto some black card stock and trimmed again. Then I adhered it to the top of my card panel. I stamped, colored, and die cut my image and popped her in the center of the frame using foam tape. Then I die cut and layered up my "lovely" sentiment. I adhered that just below my image. The "hello" sentiment is from the Dragon Fruit stamp set. I heat embossed that in white and trimmed it into a rectangle. Then I added it just over the bottom of my "lovely" sentiment. A few Gin and Tonic Sequins finish this card off! I just love how it turned out and it was so easy to create!

Someone Said Glitter?

by Karen Reategui on Oct 28 2020

Hello friends! Today I’m so happy to be sharing this card full of glitter and it’s literally full of glitter! This technique combines stencil and glitter and it is super fun and it doesn’t take too much time. For this card I’m using the Floral Stencil and Thank You for a being You Stamp Set. Let’s begin! I started by creating the background and I added double sided taped to panel that is 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. Then I removed and saved the release paper. Next, I applied Pixie Spray to my Floral Stencil and placed it on top of my panel. To make sure the stencil is pretty well stuck to my panel and the glitter doesn’t get behind it, I laid down the release paper on top and rubbed the stencil on with a bone folder. Then, I poured some purple glitter on top and I let it go like waterfall over the stencil so all the adhesive showing through the stencil will hold the glitter. You need to tap a little bit the panel the get off the excess and then you placed the release paper on top again and press the glitter into the adhesive using a bone folder. My next step is to carefully remove the stencil and applied the second color of glitter. This time is a bright yellow to make all the flowers pop up from the background. I just poured the glitter on top, shake off the excess and placed the release paper on top again to make sure the adhesive holds the glitter. Finally, I adhered a white folded card note at the back using foam tape for more dimension. I also heat embossed with silver embossing powder the sentiment and placed it at the bottom of my panel and this card is done! I really hope you try this technique is very easy and the results are so amazing! You can’t image how gorgeous this card shines in person. Have a phenomenal rest of the week! Your friend Karen TIP: use super fine glitter for better results.

A Little Nuts with Ceal Pritchett

by Ceal Pritchett on Oct 21 2020

Hello Friends! It's Ceal here. Today I am sharing a card made with the Slim Line Die Cutting System. This is my first card made with it and I am loving it! To create my card I used the smaller of the two panel dies and cut out two panels, one out of white and one out of Kraft cardstock. To the Kraft panel I added the square die cuts with the birch trees. On the white one I blended a sky background using the Life Changing Blender Brushes. To make the trees look more like birch trees I added some Snowdrop paper glaze to them and then using a brown Micron pen added the notches. Next I stamped the squirrels from the A little Nuts on a seperate piece of cardstock, colored them using Copic markers and cut them out with the Coordinating dies. I added them along with the sentiment to the blended background. To turn this into a shaker card I added a piece of acetate to the kraft panel, placed foam tape around the squares and added sequins from the Maple Burbn Splash, Candy Corn Shot and Screwdriver mixes. To finish the card I added the shaker panel to a Kraft card base. Below you will find links to the products used. Click the picture to start shopping.

Clean And Simple Cards with Erica and A Tree

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Oct 20 2020

Hey guys! It's Erica on the Picket Fence Blog today, with a couple of CAS cards made with the A Tree diecut. Both of these are done in a quite simple manner: I cut the A Tree out of two different panels. One had a pattern done by pressing a piece of paper on top of the Slim Line Broken Fence stencil, after I had used Paper Glaze in Fern Green, Leaf Green, Jade Vine and Cornflower Blue. It created a fun and colourful pattern and the texture is amazing! This tree I adhered to a white card base, because I wanted to keep the focus on the Paper Glaze texture and colours. To finish it off I stamped a sentiment from Favorite Notification, in Black Hybrid Ink on white card stock. This I trimmed down and then glued to the card. I nearly added some sequins from Gin & Tonic, but decided to keep it super simple. The second card was done in a very similar manner, but the piece of card stock I used for the A Tree was sprayed with Nuvo Sparkle Spray in Morning Fog. It's dark and shimmery and just fantastic. I glued it to another card base to again, keep it very clean. I think this design would work really well for a sympathy card, and I would have loved to have one in the same font as the other Fancy stamp sets. Like Fancy Sentiments, More Fancy Sentiments and Fancy Christmas Sentiments. Because there isn't one, I decided to use another sentiment from Favorite Notification. This time I stamped it onto the card directly, right above the tree, in Black Hybrid Ink. So, there we have it! Super simple, but fun, and of course these could be personalised with colours of choice and occasion. Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Quick Christmas Cards with Paper Glaze and Slim Line Stencil

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Sep 29 2020

Hi guys! Erica back on the PFS blog today, with a Christmas card. It’s quite quick, and simple so this is another design that will work when you need to make a bunch quickly! I started out by spraying my Dashes Slim Line Stencil with Pixie Spray, and once that was cured, I adhered it to a piece of card stock. First up was the gorgeous Jade Vine Paper Glaze, and I spread a generous layer of it on about 75% of the stencil. Then I added some Snowdrop White to fill in the gaps and also to mix in with the Jade Vine to create a softer look. Finally, I added some Golden Rose for extra shimmer! I love how it turned out, and that extra white and gold really does add a little something special! Currently I’m on a total snowman craze, so I stamped up the snowman from On A Christmas Walk with Black Hybrid ink, and set that with my heat tool. Then I coloured him with some Copics and when I was happy with the colouring, I used the coordinating diecut to cut him out. The Merry Christmas in the Fancy Christmas Sentiments was heat embossed in gold on white card stock, trimmed down to a slim banner and adhered to the top of the card. The snowman followed and with that, the card was done! I really hope you like the card and found some inspiration here with me today. There will be a YouTube video coming to the Picket Fence Studios channel soon, so hang in there if you want to actually see the Paper Glaze and stencil in action! Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Seamless Stamps with Larisa

by Larisa Hohman on Sep 23 2020

Hello, hello! Larisa here and today, I'm sharing two more cards featuring a couple of the new seamless stamps from the September Release. Be sure to hop over to the shop and check out all the new goodies! For my first card, I used the NEW All Wired Seamless Stamp! How fun is this! I only stamped it one time for my project, but the really cool thing about these seamless stamps is that the match up perfectly and you can stamp them multiple times to create a background in whatever size you want! For my card, I stamped it once, trimmed it into a square and mounted it on a piece of black card stock. I colored it up with my Copic Markers and added a few highlights with my white gel pen. I thought this background would coordinate well with BFF Claire. So I colored her up, cut her out with the coordinating dies, and popped her on top of my card using foam tape. Then I added a "happy birthday" sentiment from the Kylee Boo Stamp Set. I just love how this turned out! Such a fun way to say, "happy birthday." All Wired Seamless Stamp BFF Claire Bundle- Stamp and Die Kylee Boo Stamp Black Hybrid Ink Pad For my next card, I used the NEW Sweater Pattern Maker Stamp. This is another seamless stamp that matches up perfectly when you stamp it multiple times. For my card, I stamped it twice. You can't even tell. It really is seamless! I decided to pair it with the Jill Girl Stamp. I stamped her out first, masked her off and then stamped my background on top. I kept things classic and stamped the pattern in black on white card stock. Then I trimmed it into a rectangle and mounted it to the front of my card base. I removed the mask and colored the image up with Copics. For the sentiment, I used the NEW Fancy Christmas Sentiments Set. I stamped my sentiment on a chunky piece of black card stock and heat embossed it in white. Then I added it to the bottom of my card, and there you have it, one warm and cozy holiday card.

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember is here!!

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Sep 07 2020

Hi stampers! Today's post is extra exciting as today is the day the Picket Fence Studio's STAMPtember collaboration set will be revealed! It's full of sassy and fun sentiments, as well as a thirst quenching lineup of cocktails image to colour in! Due to Covid and slower post, I did not actually get my set at the time of writing this so I have used a digital download. I do apologise if they sizes are a little off, I'm quite severely technologically challenged and my printer is a piece of crap, but I have done my best. The fun thing about printing the stamps off, instead of stamping them traditionally, is that I was able to foil some of them. For instance, this card is very CAS but with the foil, it really sparkles! All it needed were a few sequins from The Pink Lady Sequin Mix, and ta-da, done! I used an ombré pink and gold foil on this one, and on another one I used Hot Pink. For this card I coloured the images in with Copics before foiling the outlines, as I wasn't sure if the markers might scratch off the foil. This one I trimmed down with a stitched rectangular diecut, and added it to a card base with a gold leopard patterned paper. To bring in the colour of the patterned paper, I used sequins from the Irish coffee Sequin Mix. As I printed off the entire set each time, I had a lot of sentiments. A few of these I foiled in Turquoise foil, and I ended up using one of these on my third card. These cocktails are not foiled, just coloured in, and then that was trimmed down. This strip I wrapped around an already made background. The background is ink blended with Distress Oxide inks and Life Changing Blender Brushes. On top of this I used the Flourish Circle Stencil with Glimmer Paste to make it extra fun. Foil is really hard to photograph well, but I have tried showing off both that and the Glimmer Paste. I do wish I could show you this in real life though! It's so sparkly! The next card is also done with the Flourish Circle Stencil, only this time with rainbow foil on black card stock. The effect is fantastic! This one I finished off with just a sentiment strip. My final card is also a pre-made background, where I ink blended some Distress Oxide colours on a panel and then made gold water colour by mixing some Golden Rose Paper Glaze with water. With this, I then drew fat lines of gold across it to add some fabulous shimmer. The sentiment 'Wine is to women as duct tape is to men. It fixes everything' cracks me up. I'm not a wine drinker but I have many, many friends who swear it is the only thing keeping them sane in these weird times we live in now. Well, with that, I am all done for today! Thank you so much for stopping by, I really hope you found some inspiration here with me.

New Release Projects with Larisa

by Larisa Hohman on Sep 02 2020

Hello! Larisa here and today I'm sharing a few projects using some of the new goodies released a couple weeks ago. Let's get started! For my first card, I used the NEW A World With Octobers stamp set. As someone who absolutely loves fall, I have to say, this stamp set is a MUST. I just love both of the sentiments on the set and that it can be used for Halloween or just fun fall card. To create my card, I stamped my images out on Copic-friendly card stock and colored them with Copics using the no-line coloring technique. Then I die cut the panel into a stitched square and layered that on top of some kraft card stock. I added a few patterned paper page flags underneath my panel and adhered the whole thing to some green plaid paper. Such a fun and simple card. Love it! Card Details: A World With Octobers Clear Stamp Set Copic Colors: Orange: YR04, YR16, YR18 Brown: E43, E47, E49 Green: YG21, YG25, YG67 Yellow: Y21, Y26 Red: R35, R56, R59 For my next card, I used the oh-so-sweet Your Friend Dear Stamp Set and paired it with the NEW Evergreen Stencil. I have to tell you, I had so much fun creating this card! To begin, I stamped out my image on Copic-friendly card stock and colored it up using Copic Markers. Then I created a mask, layered that over the top, and used distress inks to add my trees to the background. Then I removed my mask and colored in the ground using Copics. I also added some definition to the trees with my YG67 Copic Marker. I die cut the whole thing into a stitched square and layered that on top of a kraft card base. Then I added a sweet sentiment from the New Songbirds Set. Card Details: Your Friend Dear Clear Stamp Set Evergreen Stencil Songbirds Clear Stamp Set Copic Colors: Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R20 Hair: Y21, Y26, E87 Red: R24, R56, R59 Blue: B21, B24, B26 Orange: YR04, YR16, YR18 Tan: E50, E53, E55, E57 For my final project, I used the NEW Songbirds Clear Stamp Set to create some fun little tag pockets. I had the little kraft pockets in my stash and decided these little birds would be the perfect way to embellish them. First, I die cut some white tags from a die in my stash and added some ribbon and clothes pins to the top. Then I trimmed a piece of patterned paper to fit the front of the pocket and adhered that together. I colored up my birds using Copic Markers in fun, bright colors and die cut them out in a circle. Then I used foam tape to mount them on top of some scalloped circles and placed those on top of my pockets. A few glitter embellishments, some washi tape, and some stamped sentiments finish these little pockets off. Card Details: Songbirds Clear Stamp Set Copic Colors: Blue: BG10, BG11, BG13 Pink: R00, R11, R20, R22 Yellow: Y21, Y26 Green: YG21, YG25, YG67 Additional Products Used: Black Hybrid Ink Pad Life Changing Blender Brush Set Thanks so much for stopping by!
