Hey, hey PFS fans. Thanks for stopping by today, it's Lisa Henke here with some fun citrus cards for you today. I had a great afternoon creating with the Fruitylicious stamp set from our latest release. It's one of our background stamps that is created for continuous stamping. I used it in two different ways today.  This one I combined with the 3.5 inch Blending Stencil. I used a 4x4 square card stock panel and taped it down in my Misti and then lined up the Fruitylicious stamp to cover the center of the circle opening. SO the blending stencil...

Hello, everyone!  I hope you have had a great week!  I am excited to share with you a couple of stencils and a sweet pup today.   First up is the gorgeous Fireburst Stencil.  I have a limited supply of watercolor powders and in truth, I am tired of the colors I have.  So I decided to try an experiment and see if I could get a different look.  First I sponged distress ink through the stencil with a Life-Changing Blender Brush (on sale now!) also sold as a Bundled set with bonus stencil).  Then I spritzed the cardstock, (stencil still...

Hello Everyone!  It's Ceal! Today I am sharing some cards using some 4x4 stamps from the June release. We have several of these 4x4 stamps in the shop and they are so fun to create with. The first two cards use the Paper Cranes along with some word dies, Hello and I Miss You. These stamps are seamless on all four sides so you can line them up for days. They make an easy background for a slimline card like the one above or a card front like the one below. You could even line them up to create a 12x12...

Hi guys!  It’s Erica back on the Picket Fence Blog today, with a couple of cards using the brand new After The Storm stamp set.   Both cards are coloured with Copics and stamped up with the Black Hybrid ink. Because the After The Storm stamps are brand new, I used a Mini MISTI to make sure I got good stamp outlines.  I wanted to create really dramatic and dark clouds, but not make them all grey or black. On a scrap piece of paper I scribbled all the grey copics I planned on using, then used some blues over...

Hello - it's Michelle here today to share this card that I made a little while ago by mixing Agapantha purple and Cornflower Blue paper glazes to create a new colour. I love using a gradient of colour over a stencil - I usually do this with ink and Life Changing Blender Brushes, but you can do it with Paper Glazes and a palette knife, too!  They mix beautifully, and spread over the stencil just like cake frosting - so satisfying! I called my new colour Royal Blue. I used the Mermaid Scales stencil and a sentiment from Fancy Sentiments...
