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

Rainbow leaf card with Michelle Lupton

by Michelle Lupton on Sep 25 2020

Today, I'm sharing a card using the Slimline leaf stencil on a standard sized card I placed the stencil on my card front so that the pointy end was in the centre, and added some Distress Oxide ink with my Life Changing Blender Brushes. I repeated this with a rainbow of inks. The stencil is shaped so that you can place it six times in a circle and you will get a hexagonal share in the centre - so satisfying! I finished with a sentiment from the Dragon Fruit stamp set, and some Gin and Tonic Sequins. Thanks for visiting :)

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. If you want this set, make sure to hop on over to Simon Says Stamp and nab it right away, as once it's sold out, it will not be restocked.

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! Have a great day!!!

Enjoy Today

by Lisa Henke on Aug 26 2020

This card has all the fall vibes. I love summer, but fall is a close second and these colors have me wishing for sweater weather. I stamped the Leaf Mandla in the center panel with Black ink and colored it up with the yummy warm color combo. I stamped the sentiment from Songbirds in the bottom right corner in brown ink. Once I layered up all the panels, I reached for a some sequins to add a fun border along the bottom. I picked out some individual sequins from the Bourbon Maple and Frozen Nutcraker Mix. I hope you all enjoy today. Thanks for stopping by.

Being Your Friend is Such a Treat!

by Angela Bode on Aug 21 2020

Happy Friday everyone! I added glam and drama to today's cards with amazing Picket Fence Studios Sequins! First, I watercolored the adorable Your Friend Dear stamp set. The sky needed a little something extra so, I added clouds over the top of the watercolor with the Layers of Clouds Stencil and Life Changing Blender Brushes (Also sold in a Bundled set). The sentiment is from the super cute Spooky Day Set. For the final touch, I added Frozen Nutcracker Sequins! This sequin mix is so fun with pink, turquoise, and shiny holographic sequins! What an easy way to add sparkle and glam to any project! You can add the entire Picket Fence Studios Sequin Mix to your collection at a bundled price! In case you didn't get a chance to see this fun card up close I thought I would share it here! It features several elements as the first card but with very different results! I used the Layers of Clouds Stencil behind my pinkalicious Spooky Day house. The sentiment is from If You Got It Haunt It and the bats are from Witch Please. You know I had to add sequins so chose Creme de Menthe Sequins. Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to add sparkle to your weekend projects with sequins!!

Social Distanced Santas

by Ceal Pritchett on Aug 19 2020

Hello Everyone! It's Ceal here to share a card with you today using the Baby it's Cold Outside set. It's 2020 and we all know we have to social distance and that is what it looks like these santas are doing right? I love to make wintry snowy skies and this stamp set is perfect to do that. I stamped the image in our Black Hybrid ink, colored it using Copic markers and then masked it off and created the sky To create the sky I used the Life Changing Blender Brushes and Concord & 9th inks in Midnight, Oceanside and Eggplant and blended them over the masked santas keeping some snow at the bottom also. Before I removed the masks I spritzed some water for the snowflakes. To finish the card I added a greeting from the Believe in th Magic set and some small snowflakes with a white gel pen.

Leaf Mandala Madness with Erica

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Aug 18 2020

Hi guys! It's Erica back on the PFS Blog today, with three cards all using the Leaf Mandala stamp from the August release. The first two cards are done with Rose Gold embossing powder, one clean and simple and the other rich and sparkly. On the clean and simple one I coloured in the leaves with Zig Clean Color markers, in autumnal colours to complement the colour of the embossing powder. This one was finished off with a stamp set from Levels Of Friendships in three different Distress Oxide inks to create a gradient look. It's Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey and Abandoned Coral. One last finishing touch were a few sequins from the brand new sequin mix Bourbon Maple Splash. The second card was done with the same Distress Oxide inks, only ink blended this time. Using the Life Changing Blender Brushes I added the colours out to all the edges. In order to bring some attention to the leaves, I brought in my Zig Clean Color markers again and used these to add more depth and colour. A final sentiment from Live Happy was stamped over the wreath. I also added some shimmer to it. I did this by splattering some Golden Rose Paper Glaze mixed with water to create a gold water colour. The final card is coloured with Copics, and I have also added the pumpkin from A World Of Octobers on it. The background is made up with the Leaf Mandala stamped up about two thirds on the top and the bottom of a card base, then coloured in. I did mean to make them perfectly mirrored but that did not happen. Oh well. The pumpkin was also coloured up with Copics, after being stamped up with Black Hybrid ink on a scrap piece of Neenah card stock. I also added one of the sentiments from A World Of Octobers on it, and then trimmed it down. This strip I adhered straight to the card and as a last flourish, I added some sequins from the Bourbon Maple Splash sequin mix to balance out the wonkiness of the Leaf Mandalas. That's it from me for today, I hope you enjoyed these cards and found some inspiration here! Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

August Release with Michelle

by Michelle Lupton on Aug 14 2020

Hello! It's Michelle here today, and it's release day for Picket Fence Studios! I have an eclectic bunch of cards for you today, using a variety of stamps and stencils from the August release. This first card is a simple, one layer card - I used an older circle stencil to create a spotlight in the centre of the card to highlight the beautiful songbird and the sentiment. My next card is one I will share with a friend who is a breast cancer survivor. I white embossed the Hope Ribbons stamp multiple times onto some pick cardstock (lining up the image so that is a continuous image on the card) and white embossed the image. I cut the panel and added it to a white card base, then added a layered "love ya" sentiment. I finished with a scattering of sequins. This next card is a little outside my comfort zone! I started with a piece of black cardstock and added the Evergreens stencil to add paper glazes using a foam ink blending tool. (There was some glitter stuck on my pink foam in blending tool, which added a little certain something to my card!) I added green, blue and pink to mimic the Aurora Australis (or Borealis, depending on where you live!). I finished with a white embossed sentiment. There is a video of how I made this card on the Picket Fence Studios YouTube channel! All of the products in the new release are linked below - it's a great release with such a great variety of images! I know you're going to love it! Thanks for visiting :)

Early Tulip Bouquet Card

by Becky Roberts on Aug 07 2020

Hello Stampers and Happy Friday! Becky Roberts here from Inking Idaho with a pretty tulip card. We have a very, very short window of tulip growth here in Idaho, so when I see them I really enjoy them. I stamped the Early Tulip Bouquet stamp with the Picket Fence Black ink pad. I colored it in with a few Copic markers and then hand cut it out. I turned the image over and on the backside, gently rubbed with a big ball stylus giving each flower a little bubble shape to it. Then I added a foam square to the center of each of those areas and placed it on a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" cardstock. That way it is popped up and has a little rounded shape to each flower. I used the Fancy Kaleidoscope Stencil (one of my personal favorites!) and Distress Oxide ink with the Life Changing Blender Brushes on the card panel before adhering it to a folder card. Then I ripped it off really fast because I noticed the card was upside down...don't tell me you've never done that! *Ü* Early Tulip Bouquet Fancy Kaleidoscope Stencil Life Changing Blender Brushes Have a lovely weekend!

Hello Shaker Card with Karen Reategui

by Karen Reategui on Aug 05 2020

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

Jack O Lantern Coloured Pencils Card with Erica

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Jul 28 2020

BOO! Or hi, rather. It's Erica on the blog today with a spooktacular card, using the new Jack O Lantern stamp. I've tried my hand at coloured pencils on black card stock, but I was really rusty so it's not as blended or as crisp as I imagined it in my head. I stamped the Jack O Lantern stamp up on black card stock, with the help of my MISTI. This is done with the Embossing Pad from WOW! Embossing and heat embossed with Clear Gloss embossing powder. What I should have done here is stamped it up with a pigment ink, coloured it in and then heat embossed on top. You do get much cleaner lines that way. Oh well, another memo for self for another time. As the card stock is black, I laid down a layer of Cream first. The pencils I have used are Prismacolour. To get some highlights on the pumpkins, I next added a yellow layer. At this stage it looks a real mess, I will confess, however as with most colouring, it's key to be patient. Next, I have gone in with my darkest colour. This is actually a reddish colour, Light Cadmium Red. To blend this dark colour into the lighter parts, I've used a more orange pencil, Orange Glaze. I didn't go all the way down onto the yellow parts yet, though. That's for the next step. The last colour I added was Cadmium Orange. This was my bridge between the yellow parts and the red-orange parts. I probably spent the most time with this colour too, to make the blend as smooth as possible. When you are finished with this, move on to your next pumpkin and keep doing the steps until you are happy. I didn't do every single one, just a flowy pattern of them. To finish off the card I have heat embossed a sentiment from Favorite Notifications, in white on black card stock. This is then trimmed down with scissors around the text to make it as small as possible. I have also cut out the word BOO using Tall Type Alphabet Dies from Concord & 9th. To keep to the Halloween theme, I used some alcohol inks on Yupo paper and then cut the letters out of this. These bits and pieces were then adhered to the card with some liquid glue, and the whole card was adhered to a card base. Hocus pocus, all done! That's it from me for today, but thank you for stopping by! I hope you found some inspiration here with me. Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Is it Halloween Yet? with Larisa

by Larisa Hohman on Jul 22 2020

Hello! Larisa here and I'm so excited to be sharing a couple of Halloween cards with you guys. I don't know about you, but Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and I always get so excited when companies release their Halloween goodies! For my first card, I used the New Autumn Harvest Collage Stamp. I stamped it just one time in Black Hybrid Ink. Then I die cut a black rectangular frame and and created a shaker element by adding some acetate and a handful of Black Magic Sequin Mix. After my shaker element was created. I stamped my image again and fussy cut the raven from the collage. I popped him up on a die cut scalloped circle from my stash and added it to the bottom left of my card. I also layered on some glitter washi and a stamped sentiment from the Inside Quotes: Christmas Stamp Set. I just masked off the "Christmas" portion of the sentiment. And there you have it, a festive fall card with a bit of a spooky feel. For my next card, I couldn't resist the New Jack O Lanterns Stamp Set. In fact, the instant I saw it, I squealed with delight. To begin, I stamped my image once on some copic-friendly card stock. Then I colored all the pumpkins white except one. I chose the largest pumpkin in the bottom left corner and colored him up in the traditional orange. Then I trimmed my paper into a square and mounted that on top of some black card stock. I trimmed that so there was a 1/8 inch frame all the way around and then mounted that on a deep purple card stock. I love this stacked frame effect. It really draws your eye into the image. Finally, I stamped my sentiment from the Believe in the Magic Set and heat embossed that with white embossing powder. Sure, this sentiment was meant for Christmas, but if you ask me, it's perfect for Halloween! Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you are having a great week!

A Bride's Bouquet

Happy Friday to you! Becky Roberts here from Inking Idaho with a beautiful wedding card. Weddings might look a little different but the bride and groom still get celebrated. We have three weddings this summer that we would have attended but now we will just send a beautiful card and perfectly packaged gift...the benefits of having a ton of stamping stuff! I used the beautiful stamp set called A Bride's Bouquet. It has this image and several great sentiments for that special day. I colored the bouquet with Copic markers and hand cut it out. I stamped the same image directly on the card so the stems would be there and I didn't have to cut them out. I placed foam squares behind the image and gently placed it over the stamped card. I used markers to continue to color those little stems. I added Gin & Tonic Sequins - oh how I LOVE this mix of sequins!! Before I did all that I lightly stenciled the background with the Fancy Kaleidoscope Stencil, which unfortunately is currently sold out and the Life Changing Blender Brushes.

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

Splendid Stencils!

by Angela Bode on Jul 10 2020

Hi Everyone! We made it to Friday, yay! I went to an online retreat this spring and had a burst of stamping inspiration that I want to share with you today. First up is the adorable A Little Nuts Squirrel! He cracks me up! I love that there is also a Coordinating Die with this set so you can stamp and color the tiniest acorns and simply die-cut them! My squirrel is colored a little different because one of the challenges at the retreat was to color an animal an unusual color. I love him pink! :) I stenciled a simple but striking background with the Funky Leaves Stencil using LC Blender Brushes. Next up is happy mail with our favorite rabbits, Peach and Piper Check out the Post! It's so easy to create sweet scenes with the Coordinating Dies. For the background scene, I stenciled Layers of Grass and the Layers of Clouds with my LC Blender Brushes. Lastly, I added thinking of you from the Ways to Say Get Well set. This sentiment set is a wonderful set that includes sweet ways to let someone know that we care. I love that it has one-word sentiments as well as longer sentiments. I love it when you stop by, so thank you and have a wonderful weekend! ANGIE
