Hi friends! PFS released the most awesome products this month with hot air balloons in all kinds of design elements! I always wanted to take a hot air balloon ride, and today we can via my card! I'll be using On a Cloudy Day stencil, Paper Glaze in Ocean Poppy, You're on the Way Up stamp, and my alcohol markers and die inks. I wanted the 3 balloons from You're on the Way Up to appear to float among the clouds, and I wanted the clouds to be in teal cuz wouldn't that be awesome to have teal clouds! So,...

Hello there! It's Andrea here sharing a card featuring the new Hot Air Balloon Sighting stamp from Picket Fence Studios. Aren't those heart-shaped balloons from the Hot Air Balloon Sighting set sweet?! I just love them peeking out from that cloud frame! The image is one large stamp, so there's no masking or anything - yay! I stamped the image in the center of a panel of white cardstock and colored it with Copics. I added highlights with a white gel pen, which make the balloons even sweeter, I think. To frame the image, I used the new A2 Cloud...

Hi there! It's Andrea back to share a fun card combining new and previously-released products from Picket Fence Studios. These adorable critters are from the new Peach and Piper: Bad Weather Friends set. That little racoon in the top was the inspiration for this card because to me he looks like he's celebrating (I can just hear him squealing "Hooray!"). After stamping those sweet characters, I colored them with Copics and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I added highlights with a white gel pen. How fun is the new On a Cloudy Day 6x8 Stencil? After placing it...

Hi there! It’s Andrea with you to share a colorful card featuring new goodies from Picket Fence Studios! Isn’t that hot air balloon fun?! I created it with the new Hot Air Balloon Dies, which coordinate perfectly with the new A2 Cloud Peek A Boo Dies that I used for my shaker frame. I started by diecutting white cardstock with the Hot Air Balloon Dies. I placed each piece onto the 4x4 Paper Inking Palette and colored them with dye inks that I applied with the Life Changing Blender Brushes. I assembled the balloon with liquid adhesive and added highlights...

Hello there! It's Andrea with you to share some inspiration with the Graceful Magnolias stamp set from the October release. After seeing other designers color images on colored cardstock, I have wanted to try it. With its beautiful florals, the Graceful Magnolias stamp seemed the perfect candidate for that technique, too. I began by embossing the magnolia spray onto navy cardstock with WOW! Polished Silver Super Fine Embossing Powder. I added color to the flowers and buds with colored pencils, starting with a light color (I recommend white for a base layer) and working up to darker ones. I heat-embossed...
