PFS New Release – Wreath

Posted on by Liz

I’ve made a wreath as my first card for the new Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) release. First I made a panel using the A2 Pierced Blanket Cover die. I’ve cut out various of the dies from the new Macrame Pot and Flora dies in different colours and then I built a wreath using the 3.0″ Connected Circles Shaker Creator die. I cut out the word there from the new Another Hello There word die in a darker matching colour (with a few white ones behind to make it pop) and put it partially into the circle before adding a small Hi and a few sequins from the All About the Teals sequin mix.

Picket Fence Studios new release

Posted on by Liz

There is a new Picket Fence Studios (aff.link) release out today and I’ve had the honour of playing with loads of the new product as their Guest Designer this month! Yay! I was a bit unsure of which project to show you first, but in the end I decided on this fun layered card completely without colouring which is very unusual for me.

I’ve used loads of products to create this Christmas card. I started out by using the Snowy Tree Scene A2 blending stencil and two different shades of green before using the Falling Snowflakes stencil to create the rest of the background. I wanted the snowflakes rather blurry and fading into the background, so I wasn’t very careful inking it up. The tree was going to be in the focus.

Next I grabbed the great background stamp, Hark, the Angels Sing stamp, and inked up parts of it to cover the majority of one half of the card. The Joy word die was cut out several times, in white, only to be glued together so the word would stand out. Then I used parts of one of the sentiments on the Angels Sing to Newborn King stamp set for an embossed text on top of the word die before finishing off the card with the lightest colouring in the Sequin mix Vintage Bulbs.

I have had help making today’s card. My 2 year old has helped me make the background by both stamping different stamps as well as using paint on a stencil. The stamp is called Tweet Friendship and is by Rachelle Anne Miller.

OCC – Day 4

Posted on by Liz

I’m a bit slow to post this up on the blog here, it’s been on my Instagram since it was made, though. This is from Day 4 of the Online Card Classes – a smaller card making course focusing on card stock which I took at the end of August. This card here is made after watching Debby’s video.

I’ve used a Snip Art stencil with acrylic paint for the background, the chipboard is also from there, I believe. Dies by Honey Bee, La-La Land Crafts and Precious Marieke as well as a sentiment stamp by Mathia Design and some enamel dots by Altenew.

It was quite a fun card to make, even if it was a bit challenging to try to layer up the dies for dimension and placing them in a way I thought would look nice. In the end I’m really pleased with the result, so don’t be surprised if you see more similar cards in the future!
