Hello crafty friends!  Yesterday was the Picket Fence Studios January Release Day so I have lots to share today. This release is so huge that you are going to have to check it all out HERE at the store!  But before you go, I have a few samples to share with you!  First, up Picket Fence Studios has three new Paper Glazes.  They are soft and sweet.  For this card, I used Mint Hydrangea Paper Glaze with the Coloring Book Stencil. I created a Diamond Cut-out top layer with the Slimline Die Cutting System.  I added the Welcome Die and the...

Hi Picket Fence Fans!  It’s Paper Glazes no1 fan, Erica, here with my first blog post for 2021!  I’ve been using crafting as a means to cope with some heartbreak and grief. For me, that’s such a welcome way to ‘take a break’ from feeling awful and just lose myself in the process for a little while. It’s probably no secret that I love the Paper Glazes, and recently I have been trying out a new technique where I have been making shimmery card stock with them! It’s super fun and oh my gosh, the possibilities are practically endless!  I...

Hi guys!  It's Erica back on the Picket Fence Studios blog for the last time of 2020.

Hi guys! Today's blog post is a bit of an epic, I'm not gonna lie. I'm showing a technique that I like to call Paper Glaze Printing. It's sort of like Gel Printing but with paper, stencils and Paper Glaze... I'll explain it, or you could hop on over to the Picket Fence Studios YouTube channel and have a look when the video goes up instead. I created a video for this blog post as well, so you can actually see the technique in action.  You start out by making sure you have plenty of card stock on hand, as...

Hello Friends! It's Ceal here. Today I am sharing a card made with the Slim Line Die Cutting System.  This is my first card made with it and I am loving it!  To create my card I used the smaller of the two panel dies and cut out two panels, one out of white and one out of Kraft cardstock. To the Kraft panel I added the square die cuts with the birch trees. On the white one I blended a sky background using the Life Changing Blender Brushes. To make the trees look more like birch trees I added...
