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.

World Cardmaking Day

Posted on by Liz

It is world cardmaking day today so I wanted to make a card for that very reason. It’s a pretty simple card, without colouring, in white with a dash of purple. I’ve done what I enjoy about cardmaking for this card (apart from the whole no colouring part of it). I’ve used loads of brands, I’ve been inspired by another crafter (Norine Borys, @norinehope on Instagram) and it’s about friendship.

The embossing folder is by CraftWell, the dies by Simon Says Stamp, the sentiment by GinaK Design, card stock by Papertrey Ink and My Favorite Things and the inks are by My Favorite Things and GinaK Design.

Another very simple card. And I’m now certain I will manage to post up a new card every day this month. Only two days to go!

Today I’ve used a stamp from Mo’s Digital Pencil. It’s such a happy image and it’s fun to colour it up, too. The sentiment is by Whimsy Stamps and it’s from the Enjoy the Little Things clear stamp set.

Cards don’t have to be very complicated or fancy. Sometimes keeping it real simple works just fine. That’s what I opted for this time. I printed the Lili of the Valley Penguin Friends stamp at the top of the panel and then coloured in approximately 1/3 of the panel leaving the rest white. The sentiment was put on and printed together with the penguins. It is one of the sentiments from the 60 Christmas circular and more sentiments set, but instead of keeping the rounded shape I split it up and made it a long one.

I have something as rare as a shaker card to share with you today. I hardly ever make them, but I figured it was time for another one. The bunny on moon stamp is by Mama Elephant, which I cut out by hand, and the stitched elements are made with MFT Stamps dies. I used a Maja Design paper in blue with stars on and then used darker blue shimmery stars for the shaker area. The chipboard (text and stars) were from Make it Crafty and I coloured them in matching colours. These were used together with a sentiment strip by CZ Design/Simon Says Stamp.

I’ve taken a photo of the card laying down flat as well so you can see the little stars I’ve added to the shaker area.
