Quick Christmas Cards with Paper Glaze and Slim Line Stencil

by Erica Andersson-Burke on Sep 29 2020

Hi guys! Erica back on the PFS blog today, with a Christmas card. It’s quite quick, and simple so this is another design that will work when you need to make a bunch quickly! I started out by spraying my Dashes Slim Line Stencil with Pixie Spray, and once that was cured, I adhered it to a piece of card stock. First up was the gorgeous Jade Vine Paper Glaze, and I spread a generous layer of it on about 75% of the stencil. Then I added some Snowdrop White to fill in the gaps and also to mix in with the Jade Vine to create a softer look. Finally, I added some Golden Rose for extra shimmer! I love how it turned out, and that extra white and gold really does add a little something special! Currently I’m on a total snowman craze, so I stamped up the snowman from On A Christmas Walk with Black Hybrid ink, and set that with my heat tool. Then I coloured him with some Copics and when I was happy with the colouring, I used the coordinating diecut to cut him out. The Merry Christmas in the Fancy Christmas Sentiments was heat embossed in gold on white card stock, trimmed down to a slim banner and adhered to the top of the card. The snowman followed and with that, the card was done! I really hope you like the card and found some inspiration here with me today. There will be a YouTube video coming to the Picket Fence Studios channel soon, so hang in there if you want to actually see the Paper Glaze and stencil in action! Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Loving this May Release with Karen Reategui

by Karen Reategui on May 14 2020

Hi friends! Today I’m over Picket Fence Studios Blog sharing all cards I made for this new release. There’s a whole lot of awesomeness in this May release. I have made several cards and I’ll be showing you how I did one of them. So let’s get started. For this card, I’m featuring the Dad’s Day Stamp that I stamped onto Strathmore Bristol watercolor paper using Black Hybrid ink. Then, I added color using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. Once my panel was dry, I added a piece of pattern paper and a black card base at the back using glue. Next, I placed the Quilting Market Stencil by Picket Fence Studios on top of my panel and applied white ink usually a Life Changing Blender Brush. Finally, I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment from the same Dad’s Day Stamp Set onto black and added to the background plus a few white Nuvo Drops as a final touch and my card was finished. So now let’s see all the cards I made for this awesome release! For this card, I did a no-line coloring for the Nautilus Shell. Then, I created the background using LDRS inks and the Life Changing Blender Brushes from Picket Fence Studios and added Snowdrop White Paper Glaze at the back. I’m in love with this color combination for this nautical card. On this card, I’m using A Rose Stamp, which is absolutely gorgeous. The size of this rose creates a great focal point in your card. I heat embossed all the flowers and leaves using silver embossing powder and also I did a copic coloring. Here I have a shaker card and if you follow me you know how much I love shaker cards. I’m also using A Rose Stamp and you can use this stamp for a Mother’s Day card just like I did it. On these two cards I also did a no-line coloring. I kept these cards very simple and with a black and white backgrounds since I the flowers already had a lot of colors and I wanted them to be the focal point. Next, I have this card featuring the Spliced Heart Stencil. There are many possibilities for this awesome stencil. I simply love this stamp You or WIFI. I even love the name lol. It comes with fabulous sentiments too. And for this card, I did a Copic coloring and kept it very simple since my main idea on this card was to express a very relaxing scene where you can go and unplug! I have a set of two cards and one more below where I’m using Fleur di lis Stencil with a mix of Paper Glaze. And on this card, I actually mixed three different colors of Paper Glaze and created this new color. It could be Red, Carmine, Poppy... You name it! For this card, I also mixed more colors of Paper Glaze and got this awesome coffee color. This stamp set is gorgeous! To the Lovely Couple Stamp Set is perfect for Birthday cards, Weddings and other celebrations. I have heat embossed the cake using gold embossing powder and did a simple Copic coloring. And for my last card I made a shaker card. I also used To the Lovely Couple Stamp Set and white heat embossed the image. Well, these were my cards for this May Release from Picket Fence Studios and I hope I can inspire you a little bit. Remember Picket Fence Studios is having free shipping on all USA orders. Have a phenomenal day my friends! Karen

Chin Up. Crown Straight. Face the Day with Karen Reategui

by Karen Reategui on Apr 23 2020

Hello friends! Today I’m over Picket Fence Studios Blog sharing this card where I’m featuring the Geo Pineapple and Pineapple Collage Stencils, Something Sweet Stamp Set for my sentiment, Rose Gold, Daffodil Yellow and Leaf Green Paper Glaze. Let’s begin! I started by placing the Pineapple Collage Stencil on top of a panel and using the Life Changing Blender Brushes I applied the ink. I used the following colors from LDRS Creative: Key Lime Pie, Olive Branch, Lantern Yellow and Iced Tea. They work really awesome by the way! Then, I placed the Geo Pineapple on top of this background and I applied Rose Gold, Daffodil Yellow and Leaf Green Paper Glaze. I spread the paper glaze and also I pat using the same spatula to create more texture. Also, to speed up the drying process I used my heat tool on top and got those wonderful bubbles that completed the texture on this card. Once it was dry I added some Nuvo drops for a final touch on the pineapple. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from Something Sweet Stamp Set using the Black Hybrid ink. I adhered a white card base at the back and this card was finished. I really hope you got some inspiration and try these stencil and paper glaze. Have a wonderful day! Karen
