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.

Mo’s Champagne for Two

Posted on by Liz

I made this card a bit over a month ago and then I forgot to post it up as I wanted to wait until the recipient’s birthday had been and gone to not spoil the surprise. Here it is though, with one of Mo’s Digital Stamps’ most recent stamps, Champagne for Two. I made sure the dress was sparkly and used matching sequins. As I couldn’t find the sentiment I wanted, I simply made it and printed it.

POD Sweet Snow Friends

I love a good snowman stamp and this one is being hugged by his bunny and penguin friends. The stamp, by Purple Onion Designs, is called Sweet Snow Friends. How adorable is that? I love colouring it up, and this time I die cut the panel and put it off-centre on a dark green piece of background paper. The sentiment is a mix of a Gummiapan die cut (a few of them glued together for dimension) and a Mathia Design text stamp. A few Altenew dots to bring in the peach colour of the the colouring finished off the look.

PFS Watermelon shaker

Posted on by Liz

Anybody else noticing that this year is hurrying along at an absolutely ridiculous speed? I feel like I blinked and there April was gone. Thankfully thinks are looking to slow down a little in a few weeks and I cannot wait!

Here I’ve made a full size shaker! Not something that frequents this blog a lot, but they are still fun to make. This time I’ve made it using the A2 Full Front Shaker die by Picket Fence Studios together with their Shaker Sheets. I LOVE it! It is so easy to work with, and with their ridiculously large collection of awesome sequin mixes and embellishment jars you’re bound to find some new favourites. This one is called Watermelon Crush.

The background is made using the Watermelon Nectar. I stamped it up a few times and then coloured in aaaaall the watermelon pieces (while potentially having a bowl of cut melon next to me, shhh). The Oversized Hello die worked perfectly with the rest and it is easy to add a small sentiment strip to go with at a later date!

Here is the card laying down:

PFS The Bakery (new release)

Posted on by Liz

There is a new release out at Picket Fence Studios (all links are affiliate links) today and it’s a fun one! I’ve used loads of copics to colour up the stamp I chose for my release card. Isn’t this the coolest bakery? A tea pot next to stacking tea cups? I would so love to visit a bakery like that! I’ve mostly stuck with that stamp set for today’s card. The stamp is called The Bakery. The sequins are from the All About the Teals sequin mix.

You can’t really have a dull black stamped sentiment with such a fun card, so I went with purple!
