Love You - Big Beautiful Butterfly

by Brenda Noelke on Mar 04 2024

Hello, friends and happy Monday!! I hope you had a great weekend!! Brenda here with a bold and colorful card featuring products from the latest February release!! I fell head-over-heels for this butterfly in the Two Big Beautiful Butterfly Die Set and can't stop using it!! I started by die-cutting the top layer of the butterfly in the Two Big Beautiful Butterfly Die Set from black cardstock and the bottom layer from white cardstock. The Layering Flora: Sweet Cherry Blossoms Dies were also die-cut from white cardstock. I used Rainbow Pint-sized Paper Pouncers and Distress Oxide Inks to add color to the die-cuts. I used Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers and Peeled Paint. For the background, I die-cut the Garden Lattice A2 Cover Plate Die from white cardstock and adhered it to a white A2 card base. I splattered it with Black Magic Paper Splatter and set it aside to dry. The "love" portion of the sentiment was die-cut three times from black cardstock using the Sara Girl Die Set. They were stacked and adhered together with liquid glue. "You", from the Wreath Building: Greetings From Our Hive Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink and fussy cut. All of the die-cuts were arranged and adhered with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. I adhered a gem from the Day and Night Gem Mix to the center of the flowers and sequins from the All about the Pinks, All About the Yellows and All About the Purples sequin mixes to add a bit of shine. . Thank you so much for stopping by today!! Have a great week!! Brenda

Birthday Dance Confetti Card

by Silvana Chambon on Jan 30 2024

Hello and welcome to the Picket Fence Studios blog! It´s Silvana here with another inspiration card. This time I´m showing you some of the new products from the latest release, specially the new Birthday Dance Confetti Stamp. It´s a 6" x 6" seamless stamp from the Building backgrounds collection. I started by stamping 6x6" stamp with Versamark ink and applying white embossing powder. After I heat embossed it I started to apply the different inks with the help of the Pint sized Paper Pouncers and the Paper Inking palette to hold the paper. I trimmed the background in a A2 size and cut the new Hooray Die from it. It´s a big die that fits perfectly in an A2 card. To make the shadow effect I cut the Hooray die from 80 lb cardstock four times. Then I glued the background on a card base, glued every Hooray in the place, stacking them, and on top I glued the first Hooray from the background. For the stamped sentiment I used one of the phrases in the The Bakery stamp set, stamped with Versamark ink and embossing powder too. I hope you enjoyed this colorful card and I wish that the process were useful. Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful week. Silvana.

Bears decorate the tree

by Claudia Cubas on Oct 03 2023

Hi craffty friends, Claudia here with a new story told with a card. I love animal stories and this one tells of two cuddly bears decorating the Christmas tree. For the night background, I used the Mini Haunted Blending Stencil to draw the moon. The magnificent tree is A2 Giant Christmas Tree Die. The bears are from last year's set A Polar Bear Christmas, one of my favourites. I used the 5x7 Double Stitched Rectangle Dies to create a white frame. To give the sky a shimmering touch, I used the fantastic new Paper Splatter Watercolor - Liquid Gold . I hope you enjoy my card and I also hope I have inspired you! Claudia

You left me unattended Halloween card

by Silvana Chambon Scarenzio on Aug 01 2023

Hello and welcome to the Picket Fence Studios blog! It´s Silvana here and today I´m sharing a fun Halloween card made with some new products from the July release. You can see all the collection here. In the background, I used the new Mini Hot Flashes Stencil with different tones of Distress Oxides inks imitating the colors of the fire. Then, I used the Mini Haunted Moon Blending Stencil in the top of the card. Over the moon, I needed a flying witch so I used the one in the Slim Line Welcome to the Graveyard Blending Stencil. This malefic witch set on fire the woods of the A Nightly Sky stamp set. To finish the scene, I heat embossed with white embossing powder a sentiment from the new Inappropriate Halloween stamp set. The final result is a very fun card appropriate for that special witch friend. I hope you like it and encourages you to use your stencils! Have a fantastic week. I´ll leave you the products list below with my affiliates links. Thank you so much for your support! Silvana.

Another Rainbow for all Seasons by Laura

by Laura Nistal on Jul 11 2023

Hello everyone! I'm Laura and I'm very excited to be here again on the Picket Fence Studios blog showing this card that I hope will inspire you! To start I used the "Tweet Tweet Friends Stamps” which I stamped with the “Black Hybrid ink pad” and then painted with alcohol markers. Then to give the stamps more relief, I used the white Gelly Roll in the areas where I wanted to give shine and the black Micron Pigma in the areas where I wanted to give more depth. Below I used the “Tweet Tweet Friends Coordinating dies” to cut them out, but you can also carefully cut them out with scissors. Next I prepared the rainbow with the “Another Rainbow for All Seasons Die” that I cut in different colors. I also cut the clouds out of the "Slimline Curvy Rainbow Die” to support the rainbow. For the background I used the “Slimline Cloud Coverage Stencil” to simulate a sky and I painted it with distress inks. And for the sentiment I used a phrase from the “Tweet Tweet Friebds Stamps” that i stamped with the “Black Hybrid ink pad”. 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. A huge kiss and until next time!

Three parts background idea with March release.

by Silvana Chambon Scarenzio on Mar 22 2023

Hello, everyone! It´s Silvana here. Welcome to the PFS blog! Today I´m sharing a creative idea to use a lot of supplies of the new March release. But you can use whatever supplies that you already have in your stash! Let´s talk about the card. It has a composition of three parts that fit together because the products that I use have the same "theme" (almost, but I made it happen lol). On the bottom of the card I used the new 6x8 Tree Bark Stencil which remind me of the peacock´s feathers so I decided to ink it in this beautiful bird´s colors. Yes, the stencil it´s made to resemble wood texture, but I thought of the pattern in the feathers... To apply the ink, I used a combination of the tools that Picket Fence Studios has: the Life Changing Blender Brushes for the soft hand, and the new (and amazing) Paper Pouncers for the heavy hand. The pouncers help to apply a lot of ink in an easy and comfortable way, so I´m in love with them. On the right you can see the peacock from the new Illuminating Peacock stamp set and the sentiment is from the set too. I used two colors of ink here to make the peacock pop. The top part of the card is my favorite one and has some work, but totally worth it. I started by creating a mask with the Fanciful Feathers Die cut in some kind of masking paper or wide temporary tape. I put them in the remaining space and then applied some ink with a heavy hand. After that, I put a thin layer of Paper Glitz Sparkle and waited to completely dry. I removed the feathers masks and the result was incredible! Shiny and different from the other two. To finish the card I added some sequins from the new Sequin Mix Peacock tails. This card is a 5x7 one, so I cut the background 1/4 inch from each side and tape it with foam tape over the card base. The sentiment is also tape with dimensional tape. I hope you like this idea and give it a try! Maybe you can search in your PFS products and find some that combines and make your own version. Thank you so much for reading. See you in my next post. Have a wonderful day! Silvana.
