Christmas Countdown: Magical Christmas by Laura

by Laura Nistal on Dec 16 2022

Hello and welcome to the Christmas countdown on PFS blog! I'm Laura and I'm very excited to be here again on the Picket Fence Studios blog showing this christmas card that I hope will inspire you! To start I used the "Frolicking Winter Friends" Stamps set that I stamped with "Black Hybrid ink pad" which is perfect for this type of stamps! Then I painted all the images with alcohol markers and then with a white marker I glossed it to make it stand out. Then i cut out the images using the "Frolicking Winter Friends" coordinating dies but you can carefully cut them out with scissors if you prefer. On the other hand, I used the "Jolly Good Rainbow" die and painted each of its parts with Christmas colors. Next I prepared the background: for this I used a white cardboard to which I applied the "Paper Glaze Luxe Artic Fox" along with the "Petals 6x6" stencil. I then glued it onto a black cardstock to create a frame. For the sentiment I used the phrase "Christmas season is magical" on a white cardboard and using black ink. Finally I prepared the composition, glued all the pieces and this is how the result was! I hope you like it and that it inspires you, I remember that you can find all these products and many others in the Picket Fence Studios store. Don´t forget to come tomorrow for more Christmas inspiration! A huge kiss and until next time! Laura

Christmas Countdown - Let It Snow

by Brenda Noelke on Dec 12 2022

Hello, friends and welcome back for another day of Christmas Countdown inspiration!! Brenda here with a winter stenciled and die-cut card!! I absolutely LOVE snowflakes and couldn’t wait to use the Falling Snowflakes Stencil with some Paper Glaze!! I usually start with the focal point when I sit down to create a card, but in this case I started with the background. I spread Turquoise Jewelry Paper Glaze Luxe onto heavyweight white cardstock through the Falling Snowflakes Stencil with a palette knife. I also spread some Pink Tinsel Paper Glaze Velvet onto another panel of heavyweight white cardstock. I set the two panels aside to dry. Once they were dry, I trimmed the snowflake panel slightly and adhered it to an A2 white card base. I die-cut the Let It Snow Word Die from the pink panel and cut it two more times from heavyweight white cardstock. I stacked and adhered the white layers together, adhered them behind the pink one, slightly offset, then added them to the center of the card. A snowflake was die-cut from white glitter cardstock using a die from the Jolly Good Rainbow Die Set. I adhered it in the center of the “o”, then stacked an iridescent and clay snowflake from the Candied Snow Sequin Mix Plus on top. I love this color combo!! I wish you could see all of the sparkle and texture!! Thank you so much for hanging out with me for a bit!! Have a wonderful day!!

Hello! It's Michelle Lupton here today, and I have two quite different cards to share today, both using gilding flakes, one with Paper Glitz and one with Paper Glaze Luxe. And I made a video to show you how I did these - I used two different techniques to get very similar results. Thanks for visiting :)
