Hello, everyone!  I hope you had a great week and now it's time to celebrate Friday!  I think Alice is delighted that it's Friday and she has started celebrating by listening to her favorite mix!  I created an interesting background with the Geo Squares Stencil and LC Blender Brushes.  I colored Alice then I used her Coordinating Die to cut her out.  Next, I stamped a flower and leaves from Beautiful Girl Flowers and die cut them with Coordinating Dies.  I really like PFS Coordinating dies because they save me so much time when creating cards AND they are sold already separated, no...

Hey Y'all! It's Ceal and today I am sharing some slimline cards that uses the Slim Line Die Cutting System along with the Gel Press. Can you believe that it is December already? I have to get moving on my Christmas cards so I made 4 using this technique that I learned from Lydia.  To create these cards, I cut out some of the snowflakes from the Winter Snowflakes die set, the Lydia snowflake die and the LaWanda snowflake dies out of copy paper. I places some acrylic paint on the Gel Press and brayered over it. Next I placed...

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.

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...

Today I am sharing a very special snowflake - Lydia! Can you all guess who that is named after? It's a beautiful large die, and I had a ton of fun creating with it. The Snowflake Lydia Die is about 4 inches square and perfect to fill up an A2 sized card. For my first card, I chose a Gel Press print that I have had for a long time that I wasn't happy with. It just was, in my opinion, kind of ugly. But as my gel printing mentor, LYDIA, has told me, never throw them away, because you...

I have a baby card to share today using products from the November release at Picket Fence Studios. I started by creating a background with the slimline flowers stencil and my Life Changing Blender Brushes and Distress Oxide inks. I coloured the cute little baby image with a mixture of copic markers and Derwent pencils to give the pale, no-line colouring look. I cut the squares out of a panel of white cardstock to fit over the slimline card base (I made them wonky, mainly because I need practice lining them up nice and straight!) and finished with a little...
