A Yummy Treat For Someone So Sweet

A Yummy Treat For Someone So Sweet

by Brenda Noelke on Jan 15 2024
Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda here with you on this frigid Monday!! I hope you are staying safe and warm!! My goodness, is it cold outside!! It's the perfect weather to stay inside and do some baking, unless one of your resolutions is to cut back on sweets. In that case, I have the perfect solution...paper cookies!! Ha!! The newest January Release is chock-full of yummy cakes, cookies and treats to make your cards absolutely delicious!! I began by die-cutting the cookies and frosting bags in the Scene Building: Cookie Making Die Set from cream, white, red and pink cardstock. This set is so versatile!! There are so many dies to customize your cookies for different occasions!! The cookie sheet was cut from frosted silver cardstock. I added a bit of blending around the outside the cookies with brown ink and a Life Changing Blender Brush. I adhered all of the elements together and adhered the cookies to the pan with liquid glue, then added highlights with a white gel pen. For the background, I blended red and pink dye inks onto the first four layers of the Sprinkles 6x8 Layering Stencil Set with Life Changing Blender Brushes. I spread pink glaze in the Paper Glaze Velvet Soft Pastel Sampler Set onto the final layer with a palette knife. Once dry, I trimmed it slightly and adhered it to an A2 panel of red cardstock. The cookie sheet was adhered with liquid glue and the frosting bags were adhered with a combination of liquid glue at the tip and foam tape toward the opening of each bag. I trimmed the excess from the right side. The sentiment, from the Lick the Bowl Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto pink cardstock and trimmed into a narrow strip. It was popped up toward the bottom of the card with foam adhesive to finish it off. Be sure to check out the entire January Release in the shop!! It will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth!! Thank you so much for spending a bit of your Monday with me!! I appreciate your time!! Brenda

Hello Crafty Friends, I made a cute card with the Friends Give the Best Hugs Stamp Set and the Welcome Home Bun Bun Die Set from the new Picket Fence Studios release.   "I used a Paper Pouncer to apply a soft blue color in the background."   "I used OLO markers to color the Welcome Home Bun Bun die set's carrot-shaped house that I had die-cut on white card stock.   I am glad you took the time to read this post. I hope it has motivated you to unleash your creativity. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or feedback.I’m looking forward to sharing more content with you soon.

GET WELL SLIMLINE CARD

by Silvana Chambon Scarenzio on Nov 28 2023

Hello, everyone! It´s Silvana here. Welcome to PFS blog.  Today I´m sharing a slimline format card showing some last release´s products like The Happy Fern die, which I loved because it has the perfect size for various types of cards.  Let´s start by the background. You can achieve that woody look easily with the Slimline Against the Grain Cover Plate Die. The texture is amazing. Instead of using sequins, I made some splatters with the Paper Splatter Watercolor in Liquid Gold color to bring some pop of shine to the card. The frame was made with a die from the Scalloped Frames dies and I cut it three times: two in white cardstock and one in a light kraft color. I played with some alcohol inks on yupo paper and then diecut the paper with the new Layering Flora: Happy Fern Die. I also cut a piece of vellum and put the two pieces in the front. The vellum gives an elegant look with the pattern and the colors of the alcohol inks.  To finish the card I heat embossed one of the stamps in the new Get well, Again over a black cardstock with gold embossing powder.  I hope you enjoyed my card and try your own version to give some comfort to someone ill.  See you in my next blog post. Have a fantastic week.  Silvana
