Seasonal Christmas Flowers Poinsettia Cards

by Brenda Noelke on Sep 22 2022

Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda here with my first blog post as a member of the talented & amazing design team!! I’m super excited to be able to share some of my creations with Picket Fence products!! I’ve always been a huge fan!! I’ve really been enjoying creating with the latest September release!! One of the first sets that caught my eye was the stunning Seasonal Christmas Flowers Stamp Set!! The poinsettia is such an iconic holiday symbol and I couldn’t wait to color these!! I began by stamping all of the images in the Seasonal Christmas Flowers Stamp Set with Black Hybrid Ink. After coloring them with Copic markers, I cut them out with the Coordinating Die Set. I’ve always loved the contrast of black with bright red poinsettias, so I trimmed a panel of black cardstock to 4” x 5.25”. I adhered the leaves and holly with liquid glue and popped the poinsettias up with foam tape. I diluted some Snowdrop White Glaze with water and splattered it over the panel and poinsettias with a paint brush. Once that was dry, I adhered it to a panel of white cardstock, then an A2 panel of red cardstock, before adhering it to my card base. The sentiments, from the Swanky Christmas Sentiment Set, were white heat embossed onto black cardstock, then cut out with the Coordinating Dies. I love these fonts!! They were also popped up with foam tape. For the finishing touches, I dotted some Golden Sparkle Paper Glitz onto the centers of the poinsettias with a stylus and added a combination of Dancing Reindeer & A Classic Christmas sequin mixes. Thank you so much for spending a bit of your day with me!! Have a great Thursday and I’ll see you soon!! Brenda

January 2022 Release

by Sandi MacIver on Jan 14 2022

Hey makers, welcome back, it's Sandi here and it's RELEASE DAY at Picket Fence Studios. There are so many fabulous new products being released today and I have linked them all at the end of this post for you.I have 5 card inspirations to share with you using many of the new products. So let's jump right in and check them out. Picket Fence Studios NEW Release - Card #1 I combined a couple of new products for this one. Stamp the background repeatedly with the new Leaves in a Stream stamp and then create a shaker card base with it. Next, I ink blended a rainbow and stamped the new Butterfly Beauties over it. Cut them out with the coordinating dies and added them to the top of the shaker card. Inside the shaker card I have the Spring Fling Sequin Mix mixed with the NEW Shaker Garnish in clear and soft green. Card #2 was so fun to create. Start with the New Rainbow of hearts stencil and ink blend a rainbow of colors through it. I used Distress Oxides: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feather and Villainous Portion. Next, I colored this adorable teddy bear from the NEW Somebunny Loves You stamp and die combination. Card #3 - More Books & Friends This fabulous new More Books & Friends Stamp and Die Combo is so fun to create scenes with. Great pieces to create a living room scene which I colored with my Copics. Additionally, use the Books are Friends die to create a Library background in your reading space. I also combined the Tall Grass & Waves With Tile and Wood Floors stamp set to stamp and color my floor Finally, I used the new Flowers & Polka Dots Stencil to create the wallpaper. Card #4 - Picket Fence Studios NEW Release. The BFF girls are back. This new BFF Girls Find Your Tribe stamp set has 4 girls, in a smaller format that previous releases, and a great selection of sentiments. Create the background by ink blending through the new Stencil and Flowers Polka Dot Stencil and overlay the NEW A2 Lattice Oval and Trimmings Dies. I added an extra bit of bling with the Celebration Sequin Mix. Card #5 - SLIMLINE WOODS I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite Slimline Die from this collection. Slimline Woods cuts out all those fabulous trees. I cut mine from Simon's Fog cardstock. Next, ink blend the background in Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers. I decided on a afternoon light silhouette scene, so did my images in Kraft card instead of black. Finally, the sentiment is from the Fancy Daily Sentiments stamp and die set from the April 2021 release. I hope you enjoyed today's cards and links to the entire new product line are below for you.
