PFS Christmas Cupcake

I’ve coloured up the other Kelly Taylor drawn stamp from the latest Picket Fence Studios release as well. I’ve gone with a chocolate flavoured cupcake (of course) with peach frosting. This is the Sweet Holiday stamp. It comes with a coordinating die set. The blue stamped sentiment is from the Candy Cane Christmas stamp set, whereas the bigger sentiment is from Stocking Full of Coal. I’ve used an Inner Glow stencil for the effect around the cupcake and then I filled the card with loads of sequins from the Winter Blues sequin mix.

PFS collab with Catherine Pooler

I’ve gotten to try some of Catherine Pooler Designs‘s Inks and I love them! Juicy inks and bright colours, yes please! For my card I have ink blended these three colours: Tiara, Bellini and Coral Cabana. The rest of the products are by Picket Fence Studios (this and all links to follow are affiliate links).

After inking up the background I used two different Paper Splatter Watercolours: Bark Brown and Liquid Gold. The snowflakes are from two different sets, Winter Snowflakes and More Winter Snowflakes. To make the sentiment pop out, I used text from the Snowone Else Like You set and embossed it onto black paper. The golden sequins is from the Karma is Like a Breeze sequin mix, whereas the snowflakes and transparent ones are from Holiday Stockings.

PFS Beary Christmas

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.

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!
