Christmas Countdown | A Christmas Poinsettia Star

by Sara Sherlock on Dec 21 2022

We have four days left until Christmas Day! And today I'm here to share a card using a stamp set for the FOURTH year in a row. I absolutely adore the Christmas Poinsettia Star Stamp. I pull it out each Christmas to create something fun - and this year, I did a mass production of this card. It was so easy, and in less than a day's time, I had lots of pretty cards to send out. PFS Products Used on This Card: • Christmas Poinsettia Star Stamp • Cheers Word Die • Winter Has Come to Town Stamp • A Classic Christmas Sequin Mix • Black Hybrid Ink One of the best parts of this card, is that it's seasonal - rather than "Christmas" - it's a perfect card to send to those who observe other holidays this time of year, or to send to celebrate the New Year. I hope you enjoyed today's project. Have a fantastic day! Much Love, Sara

Christmas Countdown- Holly Jolly

by Michelle Bala on Dec 13 2022

The Christmas Countdown continues with 12 days to go!!! Michelle here, excited to share a snowflake shaker card today. Here are a list of supplies I used: Snowflake Crystal Die Snowflake Frost Die Swanky Christmas Sentiments Swanky Christmas Sentiments Coordinating Die Slim Line Die Cutting System- Scallop Frames Shaker Sheets Sequin Mix Plus- Plum Pudding This card is pretty simple to create thanks to the shaker pouches. I trimmed white cardstock for the base the same size as the Slim Line Scallop Frame. I die cut the Slim Line Scallop Frame using navy cardstock. I used both the die cut scallop frame and the rectangle panel. I trimmed the shaker pouch slightly larger than the rectangle panel. Place the die cut panel inside the pouch and secure closed one side. Leaving one side open, sprinkle some sequin mix plus. Secure the pouch tight. Adhere the shaker panel to the card base. Adhere the scallop frame with foam tape. Die cut the snowflakes with white cardstock and adhere them to the corners. Trim the over hang. Stamp and die cut the sentiment. Adhere to the center of the card. Scatter some more sequins. Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have been enjoying the countdown! Michelle

Christmas Countdown - Let It Snow

by Brenda Noelke on Dec 12 2022

Hello, friends and welcome back for another day of Christmas Countdown inspiration!! Brenda here with a winter stenciled and die-cut card!! I absolutely LOVE snowflakes and couldn’t wait to use the Falling Snowflakes Stencil with some Paper Glaze!! I usually start with the focal point when I sit down to create a card, but in this case I started with the background. I spread Turquoise Jewelry Paper Glaze Luxe onto heavyweight white cardstock through the Falling Snowflakes Stencil with a palette knife. I also spread some Pink Tinsel Paper Glaze Velvet onto another panel of heavyweight white cardstock. I set the two panels aside to dry. Once they were dry, I trimmed the snowflake panel slightly and adhered it to an A2 white card base. I die-cut the Let It Snow Word Die from the pink panel and cut it two more times from heavyweight white cardstock. I stacked and adhered the white layers together, adhered them behind the pink one, slightly offset, then added them to the center of the card. A snowflake was die-cut from white glitter cardstock using a die from the Jolly Good Rainbow Die Set. I adhered it in the center of the “o”, then stacked an iridescent and clay snowflake from the Candied Snow Sequin Mix Plus on top. I love this color combo!! I wish you could see all of the sparkle and texture!! Thank you so much for hanging out with me for a bit!! Have a wonderful day!!

Christmas Countdown - Holiday Traditions

by Sara Sherlock on Dec 10 2022

Hey! Welcome back to the Picket Fence Studios Countdown for Christmas. I'm Emelie and today I'm going to give you some inspiration on how you can use Seamless Stamps. I heat embossed the Holiday Traditions Collage stamp. Then I used watercolor over the image. I then cut out the panel with the Double Stitched Layering Rectangle. For my sentiment I gold embossed the To All A Good Night on top of vellum. I cut out the sentiment and placed it on top of my card. I hope you enjoyed it and were inspired to make some simple Christmas cards 🙂

Christmas Countdown - Find Your Northern Lights

by Sara Sherlock on Dec 06 2022

Hey! Welcome back to the Picket Fence Studios Countdown for Christmas. I'm Emelie and today I'm going to give you some inspiration to create a slimline Christmas card. I started by mixing colors on two panels. One in blue and green, the other in yellow and pink. On my green blue background, I stamped the Find You Northern Lights in black. I think it turned out amazing against the green blue colors. I also embossed small silver stars.. With the pink and yellow panel, I used the Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Word Topper Die. I cut it out several times and built up the dimensions on the word. This is a card that is easy to mass produce. I hope you enjoyed it and were inspired to make some simple Christmas cards 🙂
