Happy Friday Stampers! Becky Roberts from Inking Idaho here with a spooky good card and candy holder for October.   This Frankenstein is big and bold with fun sentiments!  Not gonna lie, he sort of gave me nightmares as he would surprise me on my desk a time or two while I was working on him!     I made the background with Distress Oxide ink and Life Changing Blender Brushes.  I die-cut four squares to make a window and added a window sheet behind it.  The window is popped up on foam tape and Frank is behind it.  I simply stamped him on green cardstock and embossed in black.  No coloring, no shading, no nothing! For this guy, I stamped on Copic friendly cardstock and colored with Copic Markers.  The finished box size is 1-3/4" x 4".  Cut your cardstock to 7-1/4" x5-3/4".  Score the length at 1-3/4", 3-1/2", 5-1/4" and 7".  Score for the bottom at 1-3/4".

Versatile Floral Stencils

by Angela Bode on Oct 02 2020
 Hi everyone!  Today I am featuring both of the Picket Fence Studios Floral Stencils!  First up, I turned the Floral Slimline Stencil into a Christmas card by simply adding the Merry Christmas sentiment from Baby It's Cold Outside.  I used a reverse stencil method by blending blue distress ink over the cardstock with Life Changing Blender Brushes then I placed the stencil onto the cardstock and blended black ink through the stencil.  I added sparkle with Glitter Paper and then tossed Gin and Tonic Sequins Mix from about 6 inches in the air and glued the sequins onto the card where they fell!  (I learned that trick from Lydia!)    Next up, I used the 6x6 Floral Stencil to make an A2 Christmas Card.  This time I stenciled the new Artemisia Silver Paper Glaze through the stencil.  I added a sentiment from Inside Christmas Quotes and then finished off the card with Gin and Tonic Sequins plus Black Russian Sequins Mix. I love the versatility of the Floral Stencils as they can be used for any occasion including Christmas!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

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

 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.  Sweater Pattern Maker Stamp Jill Girl Stamp Fancy Christmas Sentiments Stamp Black Hybrid Ink Pad Thank you so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!!!

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!

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.    Below you will find links to the products used.

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

Lovely Summer Card with Larisa

by Larisa Hohman on Aug 12 2020
Hello!  Larisa here and today I have a lovely summer card to share with you.  As school is starting back and summer is winding down, I thought it would be fitting to create a card using this Beautiful Girl Kendyll Stamp and Lovely Word Die.   To create my card, I started with some patterned papers in my stash.  The background paper is a white ship-lap pattern.  I trimmed that to fit the front of my card base.  Then I die cut a stitched square from blue striped paper and mounted that on a piece of grey card stock.  I adhered that towards the top of my card.  Then I trimmed a piece of red polka dot paper and layered that underneath.  Using the Lovely Die, I die cut the word from navy blue card stock and layered that on top of a white background layer, cut with the same die set.  By the way, I absolutely LOVE this die.  I will probably be using it on all sort of cards in the future.  Just a head up. LOL.  For my image, I stamped the girl out in tan ink on Copic-friendly paper.  Then I used Copic Markers to color her in.  For her eyes and eyebrows, I used a Copic Multi-liner.  After, I was finished coloring, I used the coordinating die to cut her out and popped her on my card using foam tape.  I layered the Lovely Word Die on top with foam tape as well.  And there you have it.  One Lovely Summer Card.   Beautiful Girl - Kendyll Kendyll Girl Coordinating Die Lovely Word Die Copic Colors: Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R20 Hair: E43, E47, E49 Red: R35, R37, R56, R59 White: W0, W1, W3 White Flower: E50, E53, E33 Green: YG21, YG23, YG25 Brown Drink: E35, E57 Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

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

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

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!

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.   Life Changing Blender Brushes.  A Bride's Bouquet Happy Friday Stampers!

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

Fancy Kaleidoscope Stencil Cards with Erica

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Jun 30 2020
Hi everyone! It's Erica back on the PFS blog. Today I have LOTS of cards, using the brand new Fancy Kaleidoscope stencil from Picket Fence Studios's June release, to share with you. I do love a good stencil, and it's possibly I went a tad overboard here but it just took off. I did ink blending, water colouring, ink smooshing and all sorts went on. Let's get to it, shall we? First of I sprayed the Fancy Kaleidoscope stencil with Pixie Spray and stuck it down on a big square of water colour paper. Then I grabbed my palette with Ink On 3 re-inkers in them. There are six wells, one each for Bee Sting Yellow, Marigold Orange, Marilyn Red, My Jam Purple, Peacock Blue and Goddess Green. All of these are already mixed with Liquid Pixie Dust, this creates a shimmery water colour, which is fabulous. You can see this in action in the video I have up on my YouTube channel too.  While I was cleaning up after the colouring, I thought, why not try another few things? My first attempt was adding more colour to the stencil and dabbing water colour card stock on top. This turned out fab but there was still colour left on it so I dabbed another piece on it, and this one turned out soft and pretty too. There was STILL colour left so I kept going! I ended up with four pieces in total, as well as a smaller one. I love that from the same stencil you can get so many different looks! Because I'm obsessed with ink blending as well, of course I had to do some of that too. Because why not, right?? I used a different Life Changing Blender Brush for each one of the Atelier Inks I used: Bee Sting Yellow, Goddess Green, Peacock Blue, Marilyn Red and Marigold Orange. It's so effortless to do ink blending with the Life Changing Blender Brushes. I LOVE them.  With a ton of backgrounds done it was time to turn them into cards! With loads of fun, sassy and girl boss sentiments available from Picket Fence it was a breeze. The ink blended piece was quickly finished off with a sentiment from After The Storm stamped up with Black Hybrid Ink, which also has been heat embossed with some sparkles on top. The next two are each one half of the big piece from the beginning. One I adhered to a piece of black card stock, only slightly bigger than the background piece, to frame it. Also to coordinate with the Best word die, that's also partly cut out of black card stock. The second of the two was adhered directly to a white card base. Both cards have sentiment from BFF Girl Gang and stamped up in Black Hybrid ink. One final card was done on a background piece done with the Atelier re-inkers as water colours. Here I used the stencil and Paper Glaze in Snowdrop White. The sentiment is from Charles The Chameleon. Phew, well, that's it from me for today. I hope you found some inspiration here and will try some of these techniques for yourself and have some fun!  Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica
