PFS A Candy Cane Christmas

Posted on by Liz

Somehow it’s already the 14th of the month and it is new release day at Picket Fence Studios! I’ve started my monthly showcase with this gorgeous stamp illustrated by Kelly Taylor. I’ve loved her stuff for years and I’m so happy to finally colour up one of her stamps. This one is called Candy Cane Christmas and it is not the only one in this release! I opted for classical Christmas colours and made a fun mashup background for the card. You know I love those!

The background is made up of a green distressed background with the Slim Line Plaid One stencil on top before using the Hark, the Angels Sing to add the text on the background. Then I had fun making some splatter with the new Liquid White Snowflake Paper Splatter Watercolor. Then used some of the lush green sequins from the Holiday Stockings sequin mix for the finishing touches.

I am particularly pleased with how the bow turned out, but the whole card is among my favourites this year.

And we need a close-up, too, right?

PFS Santa Claus Comes Tonight

Posted on by Liz

It’s time for Santa to visit my blog. With two months and a couple of weeks to go it’s soon going to be time to mentally prepare for Christmas and all that comes with hahaha. This Santa Claus Comes Tonight from Picket Fence Studios covers up the card front nicely and he is pretty easy to colour up. I’ve used some of the Paper Glaze Snowdrop White and the Fancy Christmas Tree blending stencils around him and then a small sentiment to go with. Card making doesn’t have to be complicated 🙂

I put the coloured panel off to the side, and kept the same height as the card base.

You can see the swirls from the blending stencil and the texture quite well on a close-up.

PFS Mistletoe Kisses

Posted on by Liz

There are a few big stamps in the latest Picket Fence Studios (this and all links in this post are affiliate links) release and the Mistletoe Kisses is one of them. I’ve chosen to stamp it in the top left corner so that I could fit a big sentiment as well. I opted for Joyeux Noel from the stamp set with the same name. A few sequins from the Christmas Flurries embellishment jar were placed around the sentiment, and I stuck with my top left positioning when putting the coloured panel onto the card base as well.

POD Snowfetti

I’m in the spirit of Christmas cards at the moment, so I have to share loads! Sorry, not sorry! Here is Elliot and Marcel making Snowfetti. It is from Purple Onion Designs’ Julian Charlton range. I think the stamp is super cool and tried something new: pencil colouring on a blue background. Fun! I’ve added extra snow and a fun border around. Love how the pencil colouring turned out, so don’t be surprised if you see more like it!

PFS New Release and a Merry Good Gnome

Posted on by Liz

It is new release day at Picket Fence Studios (this and all links in this post are affiliate links)! I’ve had fun playing with it and opted for blues for my first card this time. I’ve coloured up the Merry Good Gnome and used the matching die to cut him out. Then I popped some foam tape on his pack and put him aside while I was playing.

First I inked up the background in two shades of blue. I stuck with the bottom right side of the card and deliberately made the edges look rough and bold before I used the Paper Glaze Snowdrop White on the snowflakes from the Fancy Christmas Tree blending stencil. While that was drying I cut out two of the Slim Line Giant Christmas Trees. I cut them to different heights and placed them onto the card before gluing the gnome on top. The Animal Crackers A Penguin Christmas has some nice and small sentiments so I used one of those, and the matching die, for a small sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. At the end I placed three shiny snowflakes from Santa’s Cookies sequins mix plus.

You can see that the snowflakes from the sequin mix have a completely different look when the light hits differently. Here they are much more subtle. Loving it!

And a little close-up! See the cool shiny snowflake?
