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

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.

PFS The Best Dirt (new release)

Posted on by Liz

New release day at Picket Fence Studios (this and following links are affiliate links) today! And I’ve got a fun card to show you. I’ve used the new 1.5″ Connected Squares Shaker creator die to create a diamond shaped pattern of windows for the cute girls from the The Best Dirt stamp set. I deliberately chose a completely different colour for the sentiment this time. The sentiment is from the Espresso Yourself stamp set. To finish off I used loads of foam pads to raise the panel and then some sequins from the Lake Tahoe Embellishment jar.

Here is a close-up of the colouring and the die cut windows for each girl.

Mo’s Sofie

Posted on by Liz

I love the little girls Mo of Mo’s Digital Pencil draws up and Sofie here is no exception! Isn’t she sweet where she’s holding her little doll? It seemed like the perfect stamp for a 2 year old, so I printed out a blue number who with the stamp. While colouring up the girl, I also gave the number a bit of shading.

Then I used a Papirdesign stamp saying Happy Birthday in Norwegian on top before die cutting the panel using a Mama Elephant die and some Altenew enamel dots.

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.
