Hello Shaker Card with Karen Reategui

Hello friends! Today I’m up at Picket Fence Studios Blog sharing this shaker card featuring the Peony Foil Impression Die, the Brocade Stencil and Spiked Ocean Water Sequin Mix. Let’s begin! Using the Peony Foil Impression Die and gold foil on a white cardstock I foiled the peony with the help of a Gemini Foilpress machine. Then, I die cut the flower using the matching die and reserved it. Next, on a white panel I created an ombré look using different shades of blues with the help of my Life Changing Blender Brushes. Once my panel was dry, I placed the Brocade Stencil on top and applied white ink. Additionally, I heat embossed the Hello sentiment from the Fancy Sentiments Stamp Set with WOW! Metallic Gold Embossing Powder. I added a clear plastic bag to my panel that I trimmed down and secured at the back using double sided tape. Before closing the panel I put the Spiked Ocean Water Sequin Mix inside. Finally, I adhered a white folded note card at the back and placed the foiled peony on top using foam tape. Now my card was done! I hope you enjoyed this easy and fun shaker inspiration. Have a phenomenal day! Karen

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

by Angela Bode on Jul 31 2020

I unapologetically love Christmas!  Lucky for me Picket Fence Studios July Release features several new Christmas items.  For the first two cards, I used the beautiful Brocade Stencil which is not really a Christmas stencil but paired with Christmas colors and a Christmas sentiment it's Christmasy!  The sentiment is included in the wonderful Believe in the Magic set. I don't have a lot of variety in my watercolor powder colors so I decided to change the look of my powders a bit by first brushing Distress Ink through the Brocade Stencil with my Life Changing Blender Brushes.  (also sold in a discount Bundle) Next, I spritzed the paper with water and tapped on the watercolor powder.  I love how the Distress ink changes the color just enough to give me a bit of variety.  I wanted to cover up as little as possible of this interesting background so centered the sentiment from Believe in the Magic. For my last card of the day, I departed from my favorite theme and created something lovely using A Rose.  I created the background several months ago and then set it aside. This week it all came together with the help of an art prompt challenge on FB.  The sentiment is found in More Fancy Sentiments and then I sprinkled a few yummy Margarita Sequins!  And that's it.  A quick yet beautiful card to let someone know they are being thought of. Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration! Angie

Watercolour Tulips

by Michelle Lupton on Jul 24 2020
Hello - it's Michelle here today, and I have a card to share today using the Early Tulip Bouquet stamp set.   I started by ink smooshing some Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of watercolour paper. I then stamped the main image from Early Tulip Bouquet in Picket Fence Studios Black hybrid ink, and coloured the image using Copic markers in colours to match the Distress Oxide inks.  I then stamped the Hello from Fancy Sentiments, but I masked off part of the flourishes on the word so that it would fit a bit better on the card.

Christmas Shaker Card with Karen Reategui

by Karen Reategui on Jul 16 2020
Hello my crafty friends! Today I’m sharing this Christmas shaker card over Picket Fence Studios Blog. For this card, I have used new stamps from the July Release HO HO HO and Reindeer Stamps along with Gin & Tonic Sequin Mix. Let’s begin! I die cut this slim panel and applied inks to it using the Life Changing Blender Brushes. Next, with the help of my MISTI I stamped the Reindeer Stamp all across the slim panel using WOW! Embossing Pad and heat embossed it with WOW! Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder. Then, I adhered a piece of cellophane wrap from a sheet of chipboard stickers. I cut the cellophane slightly bigger than my slim panel. Then, I folded every side of the cellophane and secured only three sides at the back of my panel using double sided tape. I added the Gin & Tonic sequins through the side that was still opened and then I closed it with more double sided tape. On a piece of acetate I stamped the HO HO HO Stamp Set using WOW! Embossing Pad and the heat embossed it with WOW! Metallic Silver Embossing Powder. I think this silver matched great the color of the sequins. I also, adhered this piece of acetate to the shaker. Finally, I added a white scalloped slim panel at the back and a red folded note card and my Christmas shaker card was ready! I hope you enjoyed this card and give it a try. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day! Karen

New Release Fun Continues

by Lisa Henke on Jul 15 2020
 The new release is amazing. I hope you checked out all the new products and what the DT created with all the goodness yesterday. You can find all the NEW RELEASE HERE! It was full of fall and Christmas stamps but I wanted to ink up this new Shading Flower Stencil. It's a beautiful image and makes beautiful cards. I have two cards, one with bright cheerful colors and another one monochromatic .  The first one I created with colors from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge. I inked up the flower with Salty Ocean, Dried Marigold, and Mowed Lawn Distress inks. I used post-it notes to cover up areas I didn't want to transfer other colors to. The Life Changing Blender Brushes make the ink blending easy and quick. Once the ink was dry, I added a sentiment from More Fancy Sentiments with Intense Black Ink.     I added some gold splatter with Golden Rose Paper Glaze. I added a bit of water to thin it out and then flicked it on to my card base with a paint brush. I finished it off with a little more shimmer thanks to Spiced Cider Sequin Mix.  I didn't want to put this Shading Flower Stencil away, just yet. I wanted to create another card, this time in a monochromatic color scheme. I used Speckled Egg and lightly added in touched of Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. I kept th layout the same but wanted to show how easy you can switch up a card with color.   I used a different sentiment from More Fancy Sentiments and used sequins from Martini Mix Sequins.  Thanks for stopping by today. Grab a Life Changing Blender Brush and a Stencil and have some fun.

Hi Stamping Friends! Becky Roberts of Inking Idaho here today with a couple of coffee cards to share with you. I used the stamp set Coffee Understands and the Coffee word die.  I colored the girl with Copic markers and placed her on a hand cut tag.  I embossed the sentiment in white and then lightly sponged over it with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Ink. Coffee Understands Coffee Word Die This card has the sentiments in the stamp set embossed in white for the background.   Both cards backgrounds are stenciled with Distress Oxide ink in Speckled Egg with the Flowers Stencil and the Life Changing Blender Brushes. I stenciled first, and then embossed. Life Changing Blender Brushes Have you tried ink blending or stenciling with these brushes yet?  Please do, you will find the application so much smoother and easier! Happy Friday, friends!   Becky

New Sequins Mix with Karen Reategui

by Karen Reategui on Jun 25 2020
  Hello! Today I’m up at Picket Fence Studios Blog sharing these shaker cards using my the new Sequins Mix. This is a great idea to create simple but beautiful cards using your leftover die cuts from previous projects and put them to good use. You can also check out the how-to video at Picket Fence Studios YouTube channel here.  Let’s begin with the first shaker. I’m using Picking Flowers and Fabulously Perfect Stamp from Picket Fence Studios. I die cut a circle die out of a white cardstock. I adhered a piece of acetate at the back. Then, I added some foam strips around the circle window plus more foam tape along the panel.     Next, I added the Pink Lady Sequin Mix on top of a white note card and placed my panel with the acetate on top. This way my shaker is created!     I had these flowers already done from a previous project and I added them off to the side of the shaker window so this way most of the shaker could be exposed. Finally, I stamped the Fabulously Perfect stamp using Hybrid Black ink from Picket Fence Studios.     On my second shaker, I die cut another circle die out of a white cardstock and I also adhered a piece of acetate at the back. Then, I added some foam strips around the circle window and more foam tape.     I added the Berry Infusion Sequin Mix on top of a white note card and placed my panel with the acetate on top. I added this girl from BFF Ballerina Girl Stamp using foam tape and finally I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set.     On my following shaker, after die cutting the circle die I adhered the piece of acetate, plus the foam strips and foam tape at the back. Then, I added the Spiked Ocean Sequin Mix onto a white note card and closed the shaker window.     I used this fish from One Year Older Stamp Set and the sentiment stamped is from the same stamp.     As you can see all the shaker cards I created are very easy to make and have the same steps, this way you could definitely mass produce. My next example is perfect for a fall themed card. The sequin mix used here is Moscow Mule. It has these muted colors and a shiny orange.     The critter and sentiment are from A Little Nuts Stamp Set.     And here you have a Christmas Shaker Card, isn’t that beautiful? This deer and even the piece of red cardstock with the sentiment were leftovers from a previous card and I’m so glad I was able to use them on this shaker.     I used Holiday Hopper Sequin Mix on this card and the deer is from On A Christmas Walk Stamp Set and the sentiment is from The Season of Giving Stamp Set. my sentiment has been white heat-embossed using WOW! Embossing Powder.     My last shaker card was the easiest of all of them! I used here Christmas Punch Sequin Mix and this gorgeous Merry Christmas Foiled Impression Die.     The size was absolutely perfect as a focal point on this card and you still can see the shaker almost fully exposed.   I truly hope you enjoyed this post and some of the ideas to make easy, fast and beautiful shaker cards. Have a fabulous day! Karen   Here is the video of how I made these 6 shaker cards. Enjoy!

A Cat, a Dog and Thinking of You!

by Angela Bode on Jun 19 2020
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 in place) with water.  Next, I sprinkled the watercolor powder through the stencil.  I took a piece of cardstock and placed it over the top of the watery ink and rubbed it.  When I removed the top piece I had a negative print that I will use at a later time.  Lastly, I removed the stencil and voila!  Magic!  I adore how the distress ink changed the watercolor powder.  I will be trying this technique again soon!  To finish off the card I heat embossed a sentiment from More Fancy Sentiments and I added a sprinkling of Blueberry Mojito Sequins. Next up is another fun project this time using the Cat Stencil.  After stenciling the cat with Life-Changing Blender Brushes, I covered her with a mask.  Next, I splattered resist spray all over the background.  Once it was dry I brushed blue distress ink over the cardstock and splattered resist spray again.  Once dry the resist spray splatters sealed in the blue ink where the droplets had fallen.   Next, I brushed on a purple distress ink layer followed by distress spray and lastly a hint of black ink.  The result is a cool background in white, blue, and purple splatters!  So much fun!  The sentiment from Grace Puppy is perfect as a thank you for my cat sitter!   And to give equal time to Team Dog I created this sweet card featuring Lucky Puppy.  The sentiment is from the Grace Puppy set.  I watercolored this darling pup with help from Lydia's Video: Using Unexpected Color. Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you feel inspired to create this weekend!    Angie               Discounted Bundle

Hi there!  Today we are getting glazy with Picket Fence Studios Paper Glaze!  There are 13 beautiful colors to choose from, plus you can mix them to create your own colors!  I mixed Agapantha Purple with Ocean Poppy and spread it over the Fleur Di Lis Stencil.  I think it would look fabulous with the Peacock Mandala Stencil too!  I am always hunting for thank you cards so I used Small Ways to Say Thank You.  Have you had the chance to check out all the sentiments included in this set?  It's an amazing set with a thank you for every occasion!       Check out the shine from the Paper Glaze!  Next up is a super fun Super Hero card!  I used the Sunburst Stencil for the rays on the yellow and red cardstock pieces. For the top blue layer, I used Snowdrop White Paper Glaze with the Stars Stencil.  Not all heroes wear capes so I used the Good Teacher Stamp and Die Bundle.  (this is on sale right now as a bundled set!)  I love this set.  The sentiments are just right for the teachers in your life! Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you are inspired to mix some Paper Glazes!  Make sure to stop by tomorrow for a Picket Fence Studios Collaboration with prizes!     Angie

Quick WaterColor Trees And Bushes Sunset Card with Erica

by Erica Andersson-Burke on May 26 2020

 Hi guys!  It's Erica back on the PFS blog today. Sadly my May Release stamps are still on vacation ie somewhere in the postal system. So I thought, I'd stop in with a card I made with an older, but fabulous, new-to-me stamp: Watercolor Trees and Bushes.  I haven't used this one yet, and now I can't see why not??? It's so lovely, and you can do so many techniques with it too. I decided to indulge my current obsession, which is doing Copic coloured backgrounds.  With the chisel end of the Copic, I drew fat lines of all these colours and then blended them in to create a vibrant and vivid sunset. The bottom bit is done with just one green marker to give a bit of colour behind the hill that I stamped at the bottom. This panel was a bit bigger than the card I had planned on doing, so I trimmed it down to 5.5". The width was already 4.25". With the help of my MISTI, getting a good solid imprint with the Hybrid Black ink was easy peasy! I only added the hill and one of the tree clusters from the stamp set. I didn't want to crowd the card and also to leave space to stamp one of the sentiments from the stamp set.  Because I can never leave a card simple and as it is, I mixed up some Golden Rose Paper Glaze with water and splattered this all over the panel too. It's possible I went in a bit crazy, but gold splatters is one of my favourite details to add!  When this was all dry, I adhered it to a card base and that was it! If you don't have time to wait for the splatters to dry naturally, you can speed up the drying process by using your heat tool on it. Just make sure you do it gently and don't rush it too much or your paper will warp. Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you found some inspiration here with me.  Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Stencilling Madness with Erica!

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Apr 16 2020
Hi guys!  Erica back on the PF Blog today and I've got quite a few cards for you!  All the cards in this post are made with stencils one way or another, or a third. I do love them and it's so great that there are new ones in each release. For these cards I have used Flowers and Stars. My first two cards are very simple and fun, as well as quick. I have used the Flowers stencil for these. With the help of some Life Changing Blender Brushes and Atelier inks I ink blended the inks directly onto card bases. The stencils have all had a good spray of Pixie Spray on them to keep them in place. It's such a must have for those intricate stencil. It's almost impossible to get clean, crisp lines without it.  For these two I started with a light blend of Bee Sting Yellow ink in the middle of the Flowers stencil and worked my way out towards the edges. Then to create some contrast and depth, I added some Marigold Orange on one and Marilyn Red on the other.  To finish these off I cut out the Hey You in black and white card stock. The background piece I cut out four times and layered up to raise the whole thing up. On the next card I've used the same Flowers stencil but stead of ink blending, I've used Paper Glazes to create a rainbow.  The colours I used, from left to right, are Agapantha Purple, Peony Pink, Marigold Orange, Golden Rose, Daffodil Yellow, Leaf Green and Ocean Poppy.  Make sure you clean off your stencils and tools quickly after you have used Paper Glazes as they do dry fast. I have an old kitchen sponge and tooth brush I use to clean off mine. DO NOT use your Stamp Scrubber on Paper Glaze. I repeat: DO NOT use your Stamp Scrubber to clean off Paper Glaze! It will ruin it!  The sentiment is from Never Faked A Sarcasm and I stamped it with Black Hybrid ink on white card stock, trimmed it down and adhered it to the card right in the middle.  My next card is also very simple, although it took a lot longer to create the background for this one. It's done with Copics and it is done as a dark night sky. The stencil used on it is called Stars and I used Black Pansy Paper Glaze with a palette knife. I thought maybe it would look too dark but it's gorgeous!  To make it look more like a galaxy, I added some details with a white Posca pen. I don't have much luck with white gel pens but the Posca pen works quite well for me. If you want splatters, the Snowdrop White Paper Glaze might work a treat, seeing as it's shimmery too.  The Love Ya word die is cut out of matte black card stock and silver mirror card stock. It's adhered to the card with foam tape cut to shape using the die to cut it.  Well, that's it from me for today but I hope you like the cards and found some inspiration here!  Thanks for stopping by, stay safe and stay home if you can! MAD props to those of you keeping our societies going, I am so proud of you and so grateful to you!  BIG (germ free) HUGS from Erica

Hello! It's Michelle here today to share a watercolour emboss resist card I made using the Early Tulips Bouquet stamp set from Picket Fence Studios. I stamped the floral image onto watercolour cardstock with Versamark ink and white embossed it. I then added scribbles of red, orange, emerald green and olive green watercolour markers (I used Zig markers) and then sprayed the panel with water. I dried the panel with a heat tool before adding more colour and repeating the process. When I came to the background, I added the deep blue and the aqua colour, but I used a waterbrush to spread the colour instead of spraying with water, beecause I didn't want to risk the colours bleeding where I didn't want them to and ending up with a murky brown mess! Thanks for visiting :)

Hello!   Picket Fence Studios has a wide variety of stamps and dies so that you can create something new and unique for every personality type in your life! With more and more of us currently sheltering in place, there has never been a better time to send out homemade happy mail.  Today I am featuring two different card styles with sentiments from one beautiful floral stamp. This is a fine example of how versatile PFS Stamp sets really are! First up is a graphic style card. I die cut the Word Bubbles from an alcohol background then I created a shadow from black cardstock.  The sentiment is from Early Tulips Bouquet.  Lastly, I adore the birds from the Chirp, Chirp set so I added one! (Chirp Chirp also comes in a bundled set) For my next card, I created a soft floral card with A Bride's Bouquet.  I stamped the bouquet and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  Next, I used Inktense pencils to watercolor the image.  Lastly, I added a sentiment from Early Tulips Bouquet. Thanks so much for stopping by.  Love, hugs, and wishes for your good health.

Early Tulip Bouquet Cards Two Ways with Erica

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Mar 24 2020
Hi everyone!  It’s Erica here on the PFS blog today, with two spring-feel cards, using the lovely Early Tulip Bouquet stamp.  The first one is a simple sympathy card, with the image part coloured with water colours and lots of white space.  I stamped up the Tulips along the right hand bottom corner, using the Black Hybrid Ink. On this card I kept it horizontally. This is Ranger water colour paper and I used the smooth side. After setting the ink with a heat tool, I used some purple tape and taped the panel down. I placed the tape over the image, along the edges, to keep those parts covered.  The colours I have used are Daniel Smith water colours and I did the tulips in spring like colours. When it was dry, I stamped up the sentiment in the top left corner with Black Hybrid ink and with that the first card was done.  For the second card I used Kraft card stock and stamped up the Tulips with Inkon3 Fadeout ink. To switch things up a little, I did it vertically for this one. I used coloured pencils to colour it in and whilst it takes a long time, it’s so worth it!  To finish off this card I stamped up the Tulips with the Fadeout Ink in the top left corner. Mainly just to fill the space a little. On top of this I heat embossed the sentiment ‘You Are Lovely’ in Metallic Rich Gold embossing powder from WOW! Embossing.  Whilst this one took a lot longer than the first one, it’s lovely to see how different the outcome is using different mediums and card stock. Even such a little thing as switching up the way you stamp the image on your card stock can make a big difference.  That’s it from me for today, thanks for stopping by and I hope you found some inspiration in this post!  Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Lots of Hello with Erica

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Feb 29 2020
Hi, hey, HELLO!  It’s Erica on the blog today with lots of Hello cards! I love the new Hello word diecut and have used it in different ways for these cards.  I’ve been totally obsessed with making striped backgrounds with coloured card stock recently. It’s so fun and I love it! So much so I’ve ended up with some 20+ backgrounds... which I keep using and then replenishing, lol!  The first two cards have striped backgrounds, and the Hello layered up. One is done with dark grey and layered up with black, the other one has a Copic coloured backing part and layered up with white card stock. The backing part is done in an ombré look which was easy to achieve with Copics.   On this one I should perhaps have used a lighter grey card stock or maybe even white but it still pops! The third card has vertical stripes in a more masculine colour scheme and only the word part of the Hello added to it.  For the final card I cut out the Hello out of coloured card stock and adhered them to a white card base.  I did not add anything else to this one, only the word diecuts and that was it but it’s still lovely and colourful.  That’s it from me for this leap year day! Happy February 29th!  Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Foiled Watercolor

by Angela Bode on Jan 24 2020
  Welcome and a happy Friday to you!   One of the first techniques I learned as a new stamper was to add ink on a craft sheet and spritz with water, then swish cardstock through the watery ink.  It's still one of my favorite ways to create interesting backgrounds.  I created several backgrounds with the technique and let them dry.  After selecting a background I foiled and die cut it with this Two-Part Foiling and Cutting Die set.  I was thrilled with the result!  I am a huge fan of white and black with a bit of color so I simply splattered a bit of black ink on white cardstock and stamped the Thank You sentiment.  Lastly, I added the succulent to the card.    That's it for me today!  I hope this inspires you to add shine to your projects with foil! Have a wonderful weekend! Angie
