PFS Beary Christmas

Posted on by Liz

My take on the cute Beary Christmas To You (this and all links are affiliate links) stamp from this month’s Picket Fence Studios release is that I made the bear into a polar bear!

I’ve stamped the sentiment twice. It is called Another Joyeux Noel. Once on the background and then also on the coloured image. This is because the coloured image was die cut after I coloured it, but I didn’t want the text stamp to disappear behind it. I used only the Christmas part of the sentiment and used a text stamp from the Sweet Holiday set which I embossed in white onto black to go with. The card was finished off with a few sequins from The Winter Blues mix.

The text stamp is stamped right onto the card base whereas the coloured image is die cut and put on foam tape to get some dimension. I coloured up the background behind him in a deeper shade of blue to make him stand out more.

Here is a close-up of the polar bear because he’s cute!

It’s a party!

I do love a good mash-up card and this is one of them! I’ve combined loads of different brands to make this. Distress Oxide inks for the background before using an My Favorite Things background stamp for the text. I think sprinkled water on after to get it more uneven. After using a mini slimline die cut I used Picket Fence Studios paper glaze on a Pretty Pink Posh stencil for the banners. The cupcake is a digital stamp by Alex Syberia coloured in copics. It’s cut out and put on foam tape. An Altenew sentiment and die set is for the text stripe and the sequins are Little Things by Lucy.

I’m not done sharing summer cards yet! The cute summer release from Purple Onion Designs is still being used. I’ve used Thaddeus as a barkeeper. With him being masked behind the stand it’s hard to see he’s really making a sandcastle, so that’s how he ended up as a barkeeper instead! It is the Tiki Hut and Tiki Torch that is being used as a bar and I think Mimi is very happy with her drink! The big aloha sentiment is from the Seaside sentiment set. I opted for darker, bright colours on the Tiki Hut to contrast with the sunrise in the background.

It’s been a while since I posted up a card using a Lili of the Valley stamp, but that doesn’t mean I’ve not been making cards! The next month I will be sharing a lot of cards I’ve made the past half a year, which I have, for various reasons, not had time to post up. I am looking forward to showing them all!

Here I’ve made a baby card. The actual finished baby card has the name of the baby in white die cut letters in the bottom right corner of the card. I’ve used background paper by MFT Stamps and the adorable stamp is by Lili of the Valley. It is called Washing Line.

PFS Big Snowman

I have another new card to share from the latest Picket Fence Studios (this and following links are all affiliate links) release. When I first saw this snow I knew I had to colour him up in a no-line version! It is a little bit tricky, but it also gives the stamp a bit of a different look. And if I have a weak spot I think it must be just this, snowmen in no-line. The stamp is called Snowone Else Like You

Isn’t he adorable? I put him in the corner and masked him off to create the darker blue background with Distress Oxides before using the Liquid White Snowflake Paper Splatter Watercolor to make it look like it is snowing. Then I used my Copics to colour him up. For the sentiment I used one of the word stamps from Merry Christmas Friends, stamped it up in a deeper shade of red, and used the coordinating die for it. Then I put it on the card using foam tape to give it some dimension. To finish it all off I used snowflakes from the Nostalgic Times mix and red sequins from the Vintage Christmas mix.

Here you can see how pretty the sequins are and get everything at a close-up. If you love sequins and shaker mixes, then Picket Fence Studios is really the place to browse around. They have so many gorgeous mixes!

This card is also a part of a feature over at Scrapbook and Cards today. You can view it here.
