Winter Blooms Shaker Card

by Silvana Chambon on Oct 09 2024

Hello, friends! Welcome to the PFS blog! I´m Silvana from Casa Magnolia and today I have a shaker card to share with you with some of September´s new products. This cards features the new Winter Blooms stamp set and coordinating die. It´s a beautiful stamp, with this flowery frame and an additional bouquet. You can also purchase it in bundle. I decided to color it in traditional red and green, to give it the festive look. For the background, I chose a cover plate to give some interest to it. I used the A2 Pierced Blanket cover plate die . I added a piece of acetate to the frame and then put some Extra wide foam to give the height for the shaker. Then, I used the new Oh, What Fun sequin mix for the filling. The coordinating die has a lot of word dies. I chose the traditional "Happy Holidays" in black cardstock for the sentiment. I think this card screams Christmas and it turned out so well. The stamp design is from the amazing Kelly Taylor and I think it´s gorgeous, like all she does! I hope you enjoyed the post today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have an amazing day and happy crafting! Silvana.

Be my Boo? Shaker Elements

by Silvana Chambon on Sep 11 2024

Hi, friends! Welcome to the Picket Fence Studios´ blog! I´m Silvana from Casa Magnolia and today I bring you a fun "partial" shaker card for this Halloween season. I used a lot of the last release products, but also others from previous ones. The result is a very interesting and fun card, with a lot of details to look for. So let´s get started! The card features the new Bee my boo? stamp set. It has a lot of cute ghost images, and I chose a few to color and set aside to decide which ones I´ll use later. Other new product you can find here is the Haunted Halloween Gingham Fabulously glossy cardstock. I diecut it with the A2 saying Hello Cover plate die. This die cuts the little rectangles from the inside too, but I decided that I wanted to make some of them like mini shakers, so I didn´t use them all. The reason for this was that the gingham pattern didn’t allow the sequin mix to be seen properly. So I made a background with white cardstock, on which I put some Opaque Black Paper Splatter in some areas and used the Spider Menagerie 6x8 stencil in others, taking into account that those areas would be visible through the rectangles. Then I made the shakers: I put acetate in some of the rectangles and then put some foam tape under all the front piece. I filled the little shakers with the Hi, Boo! Sequin mix and glued the white background with the splatter. After that I started to assemble the last pieces. I glued some of the gingham rectangles in three places. I put the ghosts over the gingham and the stenciled areas. I cut some bats form the Trick or Treat Halloween word set die with a foiled black paper and added them in some areas. I leave the center for the sentiment which I made from the same stamp set with white embossing powder over a black cardstock. I finished the card by making some details with a white gel pen, in this case the Karin Decogel Pen. And that´s it! It´s a card with a little bit of work, but totally worth it! The little shakers add extra fun to the ghosts stamp. I hope you enjoyed it and try your own "partial" shakers! See you in my next post. Have a fantastic day! Silvana.

Find me by the sea slimline infinity shaker

by Silvana Chambon on Apr 30 2024

Hello and welcome to the Picket Fence Studios blog! It´s Silvana here and today I´m sharing with you an infinity slimline shaker card with some of the last release products. As you may know, an infinity shaker it´s an edge to edge shaker card or a full panel shaker. So let´s see how to make it! Let´s start by the background. I used the Slimline scene Building: Seashore Cover Plate Die to make with but I cut it three times with the different shades of the Fabulous Foiling Toner Cardstock Ocean Breeze Blues to make the water. I used a recycled paper cardstock that had some speckles that ressembles sand for the last piece. In a closer photo you will see that I made some "foam" in the lighter shade of blue cardstock. I used Paper Glaze Luxe Arctic Fox and apllied it with my finger for that. I glued the different pieces onto a slimline size panel. After that I cut a piece of Shaker sheets half an inch bigger than the background and glued it on the back leaving one side open to pour the shaker fill which was the new Sequin Mix Island Blues. I love the iridiscent colors and the perfect mix of sequins. It was perfect for this shaker. I glued the last part of the shaker sheet to seal and put all the background over a slimine size card base. For the sentiment I used the new Find me by the sea Word Die Set made this way: for the SEA I put some of the new Paper Glaze Glass Sea Glass Coral onto a light weight cardstock and waited until It was completely dry. This new Paper Glaze has a translucent look, but over a white cardstock looks amazing. For the rest of the sentiment I foiled a piece of the Fabulous Foiling cardstock with Fabulous Toner Foil in Metallic Silver and cut it. I arranged the sentiment on the left side of the card so this will let the background and the sequins show. And that´s it! Despite using many products, the card is easy to make and looks great. I hope you can give it a try and let me know if you like it. You can follow me on my IG: @casamagnolia_nh where I post the majority of my cards or you can find me on my website, where I write english/ spanish posts. Thank you so much for stopping by. See you on my next post! Have a happy week and happy creations! Silvana.

Magical Christmas Shaker!

by Sasha Omoniala on Sep 15 2022

Hello Lovely Crafty Friends, I am Sasha and I am so very honoured to be bringing you this blog post. This is my first time on the blog so please bare with me. I am OBSESSED with shaker cards, honestly I can’t get enough of them!I am equally obsessed with the Picket Fence Studios sequin mixes so a card that features both is perfect! Make sure to check out the reel on the PFS Instagram to get a better idea of this I like to call this type of shaker a floating edge shaker because it is fully transparent, let me know in the comments if you think it should be called something else.I started off by taking a DL plastic card/poly bag. The bag measures 10.5’ long x 4.5’ wide. I cut the card bag down to 6’ long, the width remains the same. I then cut a 6’ long x 4.5’ wide piece of acetate which will go inside the poly bag to add stability. TIP: if the acetate piece doesn’t fit inside the bag, just cut a sliver of it off. I splattered the acetate with white acrylic paint then I stuck down a few sequins from the gorgeous plum pudding mix. Whilst that dried, I took a 5’ x 7’ card base and used the A2 Evergreens on a Hill cover plate to cut the card base down to about 4’ long. I then cut out 4 other die cuts of this cover plate. I ink blended 2 of the die cuts with some Prize ribbon and Wilted Violet distress oxides to create some snowy To assemble the card, I put the acetate into the poly bag then added a bit of the plum pudding sequins before sealing it with double sided tape. I then stuck it down to the inside of the back part of the card base. To cover the tape, I stuck down one of the 4 cover plate panels over the taped area. To the front of the card I took a Santa’s Sleigh Ride snow globe die cut and cut it up so that the sleigh was separate from the houses. I stuck the houses down on the bottom part of the card, in front of the white trees then I propped up the ink blended panel on some foam tape and stuck that over I finished the card off with the ink blended greetings die cut on the front the snowy trees and the ink blended sleigh over the acetate. I think this is a fun way to create a shaker card. It’s so super light and not bulky at all but most importantly it is magical with all those beautiful sequins! There will be a reel over on the PFS Instagram showing another example of an edge shaker and a Full Video Tutorial on my YouTube channel LOVE BUIlDS UP CRAFTS on Friday. Hope to see you there! Crafty hugs, Sasha x

Slimline unicorn card by Laura

by Laura Nistal on Jul 06 2022

Hello everyone!! I'm Laura and I'm very excited to be here again on the Picket Fence Studios blog showing this slimline card that I hope will inspire you! To start I used the "Princessland Dear" stamps that I stamped with the "Black Hybrid Ink Pad" and then painted with alcohol markers. Then I used the "Slimline Curvy Rainbow die" which I cut out of various colored card stock. Next I prepared the background: for this I used the "Slimline Die Cutting System Scallop Frames" that I cut in white cardboard and foam to make a shaker card. Inside I put the "Sequins Unicorn Sparkles" that I think combine perfectly with this card. 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! Laura

Eastertime

by Nancy Thomas on Feb 23 2022

Nancy here to share some Easter/Spring cards using the latest Picket Fence Studios release. I stamped one of the cute images from the Eastertime set, one onto a die cut circle and the two small chicks using the Picket Fence Black Hybrid Ink Pad which were then cut out with the matching dies. All the images were colored with Copic Markers and the main image was then framed with a scalloped circle cut with the larger scallop frame from the Slim Line Scallop Frame Dies set. The chick diecuts were placed onto a small circle die cut which was framed with harvest gold cardstock cut with one of the Misshapen Stitched Circle Dies. The shaker was created with a backing of pattered paper and several layers of cardstock cut with the smaller scallop frame from the Slim Line Scallop Frame Dies and filled with pieces from the Penny and Henny Sequins Plus Mix. I cut the card front border using the Ornate Negative Strip Die and backed with the green parakeet cardstock. I added a small strip at the top of the cut out to complete the border, then attached all the circle pieces. For the second card, I stamped the bunny from the Hoppin' Down the Bunny Trail directly onto the card front using the the Black Hybrid Ink Pad and colored with Copic markers. I then masked the image in order to blend tumbled glass and broken china ink around it using the Life Changing Blender Brush Set. I also stamped the main image from the Hippity Hoppity to All stamp set and cut out with the matching die. After coloring with Copic markers, I cut it down to fit the A2 portrait card front. It was attached using a layer of craft foam. For the sentiment, I used the inlaid die cut technique using matted wortd die from the Hippity Hoppity to All Die set and then attached over the bunny ears with craft foam. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week. Happy Crafting!

"Into The Woods" Slim Line Shaker Card with Rachelle

by Rachelle Oltean on Jan 24 2022

Hello! It's Rachelle here and I'm so excited to share this slim line shaker card I created by combining lots of different Picket Fence Studios' products! This design came together pretty quickly with the help of a couple key products. First - the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die" Set and secondly, the NEW "Slim Line Woods Cover Plate Die" Set! I started by die cutting the woods die scene from heavy-weight white card stock and selectively trimming a few trees/branches from the image. I chose to edit this because I wanted a bit more space for the shaker garnish to be seen and to highlight the deer die cut. Once trimmed, I watercolored just the leaves in a bright green and the die cut was glued onto a piece of charcoal gray card stock. This is almost a reverse silhouette design and all of the components really pop off of that charcoal background! I created a white frame by using the slim line rectangular insert from the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die" and a smaller rectangle from the "Slim Line Nested Rectangles Dies". This frame was cut twice and glued/stacked together and adhered on top of the woods panel. I die cut a piece of thin packaging acetate with the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die", adhered double-sided tape along three sides of the back of the woods panel and wrapped the acetate around to adhere it into place. I chose to use the NEW "Spring Green Shaker Garnish" as my fill (to match my green leaves) and carefully poured about a tablespoon into my shaker panel. Then all I had to do was to close up the remaining shaker flap on the backside with the double-sided tape and the panel was adhered to the front of a slim line card base. I die cut the sentiment from brushed silver card stock using the "Mini Slim Line Double Stitched Rectangles Die Cutting System" and the running buck ("More Deer Family Dies") from gray card stock. Both of these die cuts were carefully adhered to the shaker acetate with liquid adhesive to finish up the design! I just love how that Spring Green Shaker Garnish easily moves inside the card front and works both as leaves and grass in this scene! I highly encourage you to try some of the NEW Shaker Garnish colors - they are so light weight and really add a unique shaker element especially when combined with Picket Fence Studios' Sequins/Sequins Mix Plus options! Thanks so much for joining me today! Happy Crafting - Rachelle : )

Thinking of You Shaker Card with Karen Reategui

by Karen Reategui on Oct 07 2021

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing the shaker card featuring the Torch Ginger Tropical Flower Stamp and Die, More Fancy Sentiments Stamp and Dies, Center Flower 6x6 Stencil, Silver Bells Paper Glitz and Iridescent Moonshine Sequin Mix. Let's begin! I started by placing the Flower 6x6 Stencil on top of an A2 panel and applied Silver Bells Paper Glitz using the Mixed Media Spatulas. I removed the stencil and let this panel dry for about 20 minutes. Once the panel was dry, I added a card base at the back using glue. Next, I die cut a frame using two rectangles dies out of peach cardstock. Additionally, I die cut a piece of acetate and adhered it to the back of the frame using double sided tape. This way I created the window for the shaker. Next, I poured the Iridescent Moonshine Sequin Mix on top of the background created with the Silver Bells Paper Glitz. I also adhered foam tape around the window of the shaker, removed the backing paper and placed it on top of the background to close the shaker window. Torch Ginger Tropical Flower Stamp was stamped using Gingerbread Wood Hybrid ink from Scrapbook.com and I colored the image using Copic markers. I die cut this image using the matching die and placed it on top of the shaker background. Finally, my sentiment from More Fancy Sentiments Stamp was stamped using Black Hybrid ink pad and then it was die cut using the coordinating die. I placed the sentiment at the lower part of the card and it was finished. I really hope you enjoyed this card and give it a try. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day. Your friend, Karen

Seek To See More - Full Size Shaker Fun

by Lisa Tilson on Sep 29 2021

Hello there, it's Lisa here with you today to share a shaker card. I often make shakers but rarely a full size shaker so I thought I'd shaker it up a little! See what I did there? So here is what I came up with. It uses one of my favourite sets, Mermaid Dear, and I paired it with the A2 Tall Grass & Waves With Tile & Wood Floors stamp set for my background. To begin, I took some Tim Holtz Distress Watercolour cardstock and popped it into my MISTI. I repeat stamped the waves image from the A2 Tall Grass & Waves With Tile & Wood Floors set using Versmark Ink. I then applied white embossing powder and heat set. I smooshed some Distress Inks onto my glass media mat and spritzed them with some water and then took a paintbrush and applied them over the embossed waves area. I didn't go over the whole of the embossed area,but concentrated my colour in all areas but the top left corner. I used Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio - this is a great mix for water scenes, at least in my humble opinion. To build up the colour, I did a couple of layers, heat setting in between. I set the panel aside to air dry after the last layer had been added. This beautiful mermaid is from Mermaid Dear and she was stamped onto 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock using PFS Black Hybrid Ink. I coloured her with Copic makers (the numbers are below) and then cut her out with the coordinating die before adhering her onto my watercoloured panel with wet adhesive. I then took an acetate sheet that was an inch larger than a normal A2 card and I cut a section from each corner so that I could wrap it around my watercoloured panel. I used double side tape to secure it at the back but left the top edge open so that I could add my sequins before finally sealing them in. My shaker mix was a combination of Mermaid Water Sequin Mix along with Spring Fling Sequin Mix. I added some of each into the front of the shaker and then sealed the top edge of the acetate at the back, again with strong double sided tape. The sentiment comes from Mermaid Dear and it was stamped onto black cardstock using sticky ink. I then added white embossing powder and heat set before trimming it out and adhering it onto the outside of the shaker panel with wet adhesive. To finish I added the shaker panel to a top folding A2 card. The movement of the sequins and the noise it makes is just fabulous! Copic numbers: Mermaid Skin (E70, E53, E51, E50, R20), Mermaid Hair (E55, E53, E51, E50), Mermaid Clothes (V17, V04, BG13, BG11), Puffer Fish (BV13, BV02, BV01) (BG32, BG13, BG11)

Non Traditional Colors for a Fall Shaker Card

by Karen Reategui on Aug 23 2021

Hello crafty friends! I'm so happy to be back and today I'm sharing with all of you one of the cards that I made at the 7 in 7 event. This is a Fall shaker card with non traditional colors featuring the Medley of Fall Collage stamp part of the Seamless Collection. I started this card, that looks like a mini slimline card, by stamping the images using Gingerbread Hybrid ink from Scrapbook.com over watercolor paper. For this technique I also used a Misti. Then, I colored all images with teals, greens and browns shades. I fabulous and quick way to color a background with lots of images is using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a watercolor brush. Once I finished watercoloring, I trimmed down this panel and additionally I cut another panel a bit larger but this time out of Neenah Desert Storm. I placed this panel behind the watercolor panel and added a bit of washi tape on each side to secure both panel because I run these through my die cutting machine using the small circle frame die from the Scallop Frames Slim Line Die Cutting System. Once I had the shaker window created I took off the washi tape and then I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the watercolor panel. I placed back the larger panel and used glue to adhered both panels. Also, I added foam tape all around the back of these panels, removed the backing paper and placed the Pumpkins Cookies Embellishment Plus Mixes on top of my cad base. Next, I closed the shaker window and the shaker was created! As a final touch, I die cut using again the small circle frame die from the Scallop Frames Slim Line Die Cutting System out of a teal cardstock and added it around the shaker window. Last, I stamp my sentiment using Autumn Fancy Sentiments stamp and placed it under the shaker and this card was finished! I really hope you enjoyed this card and for those who attended the 7 in 7 event thank you so much for all your support, we had so much fun! Also for the ones who couldn't join my class at this event, you can check out the replay where I show you how to make this and one more card, link here.

Follow your Path

by Ceal Pritchett on Apr 07 2021

Hey Y'all! It's Ceal here. Today I am sharing a couple slimline cards using some of the amazing March products . First up, I created this shaker card using the Fish for Infinity Slimline stencil, some distress inks, sequins and diecuts. I started by creating a background using distress inks in Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers. I used the SLDCS to cut a frame for the shaker. I placed the Fish for Infinity stencil down on the base using Pixie Spray and blended Blueprint Sketch distress ink over it. Next I stamped the sentiment from the Follow Your Path set which happens to be at a great price right now on the background I had created and added it to the front. Next I created the confetti for the shaker, to do this I die cut several of the whales from the Mermaids of the Sea die set in holographic papers and then added some of the Sharkbite Sequin Mix and the Oceans of Green Gem Mix. For my next card I used the Whales & Mermaids Slimline Stencil and some paper glazes. For this card I started with a background I created using Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch distress inks. After the background was dry I placed the Whales & Mermaids Slimline Stencil down with Pixie Spray. I mixed some of the new Paper Glaze Enhancer with Mint Hydrangea Paper Glaze and spread it across the whale part of the stencil, I also watered down some Artemisia Silver Paper Glaze and added it on top to get the blueish gray color. For underneath I mixed some Artemisia Silver with some glitter.

Two Eye-Catching Cards with Larisa

by Larisa Hohman on Mar 31 2021

Hello! Larisa here and today, I'm sharing bold and bright cards that are sure to grab your attention. Both feature products from the new release and both have vivid pops of color that catch your attention! My first card features the NEW Mail's Here Stamp. To begin, I stamped out the Raining Envelopes Stamp a couple of times. This Building Backgrounds stamp is perfect because it lines up perfectly. You can stamp it and infinite number of times to create any sized background! I colored my background using a light teal Copic Marker (BG10). Then I added a strip of red polka dot paper to the bottom and trimmed it to fit my card base. I also layered the panel on some light grey card stock and trimmed to fit. For the hello sentiment, I die cut it in bright blue card stock and blue foam. I adhered the two layers together and added them to the card panel just above the polka dot paper. I love the dimension this technique adds! Then, I stamped out the Mail's Here image, colored it up to match, and cut it with the coordinating die. After adhering that to the panel, I also added "my dear friend" sentiment just below it from the More Fancy Sentiments Stamp set. For my next card, I decided to create a shaker card using the NEW Purple-Rita Sequin Mix. I started with a piece of purple card stock and added some tulle to the top of it. I stitched down the sides with my sewing machine and filled it with my sequins. Then I used the Netting Cover Plate to cut a piece of white card stock and I adhered that to my card panel only in the center of the card where I knew the glue would be covered. I stamped out the Lilies For Spring and Kylee Girl images, colored them up, and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I layered them on top of my card panel using foam tape and a bit of hot glue to make sure they were stuck down well. My sentiment from the Job Well Done Set finishes it off!

Live Today

by Lisa Tilson on Mar 24 2021

Hi everyone, Lisa here today to share how I made this slim line shaker using lots of lovely goodies from the fabulous March release. I began by taking the largest of the two rectangle dies from the Slim Line Die Cutting System (8.5" x 3.5") and I die cut a panel of white cardstock. I took the Slim Line Fish For Infinity Stencil and secured it from behind. To the side I laid down a bit of Mint Hydrangea, Succulent Green and Ocean Poppy Paper Glazes onto a glass mat, and then added equal amounts of Paper Glaze Enhancer into each. This turns the Paper Glaze into much for of a matt/textured finish and I love how it looks. I then applied all three of these through the stencil using a spatula from the Mixed Media Spatulas to create an ombre look. These glazes - so so pretty - with our without the enhancer! Hopefully you can see the texture in the picture below. I set it aside to dry and then took two dies from the Slim Line Nested Rectangles Die set and cut a stitched frame from white cardstock. Using double sided tape, I then added some acetate to the back, followed by thin strips of foam tape. The nested rectangles die set works in conjunction with the slim line die cutting system and gives you even more options for creating your cards - the sky is the limit! Once the fish panel was dry, I used double sided tape to adhere it to a base card after stamping a sentiment from BFF Favorite Hello in the top right circular area. For my shaker mix I used the new mix called Aqua Seas and Spring Fling from a few months back - they go beautifully together. I carefully placed a whole bunch of them down over the panel and then removed the backing from the foam tape, placed the acetate panel over the top, securing the sequins inside. I just love the noise that a shaker makes and I adore the paper glazes so this card was really fun to make. I hope that you'll give the Paper Glaze Enhancer a try - it is so fun to stretch the use of the Paper Glaze and create a different look to your card. See you next time!

A Little Nuts with Ceal Pritchett

by Ceal Pritchett on Oct 21 2020

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 some Snowdrop paper glaze to them and then using a brown Micron pen added the notches. Next I stamped the squirrels from the A little Nuts on a seperate piece of cardstock, colored them using Copic markers and cut them out with the Coordinating dies. I added them along with the sentiment to the blended background. To turn this into a shaker card I added a piece of acetate to the kraft panel, placed foam tape around the squares and added sequins from the Maple Burbn Splash, Candy Corn Shot and Screwdriver mixes. To finish the card I added the shaker panel to a Kraft card base. Below you will find links to the products used. Click the picture to start shopping.
