PFS Heat Embossed Dragonfly

Posted on by Liz

There is an Instagram happening over the weekend and I got to play with some of Wow!’s great embossing powders together with Picket Fence Studios (all links are affiliate links) products. I opted for cutting out the Big Beautiful Dragonfly. I covered it in Wow!’s Embossing Pad and then used the Grape Fizz from the Twinly Fizz Wow! Trio. The original die was cut out in white and this shows just how well the coverage is. I love it!

To make it stand out, I’ve used the A2 Pierced Blanket Cover Plate die and used some darker blue card stock. The sentiment is from the Early Tulips stamp set and it is embossed with Wow!’s Polished Silver. It is super shiny and looks great! I’ve used sequins from the following three mixes: Black Tie Affair, Rainbow and A Classic Christmas.

Here is another photo:

Sea side fun

Posted on by Liz

Today is Norway’s national day, so I figured a card that reminds me of a trip to the coast, in our flag’s colours, would be suitable.

It is another shaped card made with Mintay papers. Here I’ve used one of the papers as the focal point and added some of the cut-outs around the edge. I’ve pained the edges of the paper with white acrylic paint as usual. The circle dies I used here are from MFT Stamps and I’ve used enamel dots from Altenew to add another pop of red. The cardboard sentiment is by 49 and Market.

Watercolor Roses, in pencil

I’ve had my pencils out to play again! This time I’ve used the Watercolor Roses (aff. link) by Picket Fence Studios with my Prismacolor Pencils. One of my co-workers was retiring recently and I really wanted to make her a card. Can’t really go wrong with roses!

The sentiment at the top is by Mathia Design and the bottom one is by Norsk Stempelblad.

Fun with Mintay papers

Guess what I’ve not made in forever? A layered card without any colouring! I saw these Mintay papers when visiting Rozzan’s shop when I was in Sweden last and I couldn’t walk away without a few different paper pads. As if I need anymore papers… But! This time I had a plan right away. I knew exactly what to make! Someone’s birthday was coming up and a sea themed card was perfect. For once I didn’t feel like colouring something as well, so it was perfect!

PFS More Watermelon

Posted on by Liz

I’ve made another card with some of the watermelon themed stuff from the latest Picket Fence Studios release. This time I’ve used the Sweet Sweet Dear stamp set. The sweet girl seems to very much enjoy her watermelon. I used cardstock to match in colours before die cutting the watermelon in the A Rainbow Die for all Seasons die set. I coloured up each part individually and then put it on a black card stock to make the seeds visible. I used the same colours for the watermelon die as on the watermelon the girl is holding.

The fun embellishment are from the Watermelon Crush sequin mix and I’ve used a sentiment stamp from The Bakery stamp set.

Another photo. You can see both the coloured panel and the watermelon die have been raised from the rest. I’ve put foam tape under both.
