  Welcome and a happy Friday to you!   One of the first techniques I learned as a new stamper was to add ink on a craft sheet and spritz with water, then swish cardstock through the watery ink.  It's still one of my favorite ways to create interesting backgrounds.  I created several backgrounds with the technique and let them dry.  After selecting a background I foiled and die cut it with this Two-Part Foiling and Cutting Die set.  I was thrilled with the result!  I am a huge fan of white and black with a bit of color so I simply...

Hi guys!  Welcome back to the Picket Fence Studios Blog, it’s Erica here with a couple of very CAS cards. These are not my forte at all, but I am working on it and they are coming *slightly* easier these days. I still feel like they are a bit naked and need something but basically sit on my hands to stop myself from adding more stuff to them. It’s weird but it works, lol! On water colour paper I stamped up BFF Maggie Mae with the Hybrid Black ink and set it with my heat tool a little bit. I...

Saturday was an exciting day for Picket Fence Studios - the January CREATIVATION Release! There are so MANY amazing products in this release - new stencils, stamps, and coordinating dies - plus foiling plates! Today I am sharing two of the new stencils: Artsy Sun and Flourish Circle. My first card uses a perfect sentiment from You Are My Sunshine. I used my Life Changing Brushes and Squeezed Lemonade DOX for the sun. The sentiment is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne. My second card uses the elegant Flourish Circle and a sentiment from the new stamp set, Seriously Absolutely Always....

I then watercoloured the image with blue on the butterfly and pink around the edges. I added a gold mat around the panel, and gold embossed a sentiment from "A Bride's Bouquet" onto black cardstock with its own gold mat. Thanks for visiting :)

Welcome back everyone! It's Mindy Eggen here with you today! I love when a stamp set comes along that has images of products I play with. For instance, the I Work for Watercolor stamp set from Picket Fence Studios. This has a ton of crafting images and sentiments on it. While I do not consider myself that good at watercoloring, I am certainly fascinated by it and continue to experiment with it. I stamped the image of the watercolor set in Black ink and colored with copic markers. Then used the coordinating die to cut it out with my Spellbinders...
