PFS Spooky Halloween release

Posted on by Liz

Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) is out with one massive release. It’s very spooky and autumn themed, and it also has quite a few florals. Isn’t that just perfect? I’ve actually chosen to play with stencils, die cuts and colours for my release cards this month. First I will show you this spooky house card and tomorrow you will also find a witch card on the blog!

I started by ink blending the background by covering the area for the moon so it would have any ink on it. I ink blended straight onto the card base and made sure it covered well all the way to the edges. Then I used the Haunted Moon blending stencil and a pale coloured ink to make the moon. Later I die cut the A2 Ghost House cover plate die a few times and glued them together for dimension. Before gluing the top layer I embossed the Boo! sentiment. The sentiment is from the Ghosts of Halloween Past set. A few pretty purple sequins from the I’m Alive embellishment jar finished off the card.

Here is a side-on view of the card. You can see the house is raised from the background. That is because I have cut it out three times and glued them together.

And here you can see a more detailed photo.

Filming and Photography

No,I don’t mean doing those things, but actually a card made for someone who loves those things. The film part in particular.

I made this card a little while back, but I wanted to wait with showing until said person had received their card. I bought most of the items for it when I was in Sweden for Easter, at Rozzan’s shop. The shame of the card is made with my trusted Go Kreate dies and acrylic painted the edges white. Some of the papers are by Maja Design, while others are by Mintay. The main image is also part of the Mintay paper pad, and some of the cut outs as well. There are some items from 49 and Market as welll.

Love Heart

Posted on by Liz

I’ve taken some time to play around with some goodies I bought earlier this year. This is the Mod Heart by Mama Elephant which I bought at ByCino. It is such a fun heart and I die cut it in loads of different card stocks colours so I could mix and match. The card stocks are mostly by Papertrey Ink and MFT Stamps.

The sentiment is by Spellbinders and the sentiment strip is by Altenew.

Mo’s Shop Tot

Posted on by Liz

I have another Christmas card made. In fact, I think I’m going to try to make a Christmas card a week until Christmas. Anybody else up for trying the same? I’ve used the adorable Shop Tot by Mo’s Digital Pencil for this week’s Mo-make.

The background is made by running a stencil through my die cutting machine to emboss the paper. The stencil is by PFS and is called Snowball Fight (aff link). I’ve also used their connected circles for the frame. This is all raised with foam to make the coloured panel stay behind. A few snowflakes, a Make It Crafty chipboard and a Simon Says Stamp sentiment.

PFS Budding Roses

Posted on by Liz

It’s time for another card! But first off I’d like to mention the GREAT sale that is going on at Picket Fence Studios at the moment. 25% off everything lasts through today. Pop over to their homepage (this and following links are affiliate links) to start browsing your favourites! (Don’t forget to look at the tools section, Paper Pouncers and the free gifts!)

I’m back today with another throw back. This time I’ve coloured up the Budding Roses. Once again I’ve turned to pencils, mostly because I got some new ones that I wanted to try. I love the deep purple against the kraft card, don’t you?

I’ve used sequins from the Peacock Tails mix. The hello die comes with the Double Stitched Layering Rectangle Dies and the embossed sentiment is from the Tweet Tweet Friends set.
