Nicole, the owner of Picket Fence Studios, is having a birthday today, and all of the Design Team are showering her in cards!
I did this technique during a Facebook live video on the Picket Fence Studios Community page - I had a panel left over, and I thought it was perfect for two birthday cards!
I took a panel of yupo and added Paper glaze mixed with Paper Glaze enhancer through a stencil. When it was dry, I dripped Alcohol Pearls ink over the panel.
I made a couple of cards during a live video on Facebook for Picket Fence Studios today - here they are! (you can check out the replay of the video HERE)
Hello! My card today uses the new Slim Line Plumeria stencil, along
with the Mini Slim Line Double Stitched rectangles, and a bunch of
different paper glazes.
The sentiment is cut from cardstock that I had coated with Paper
Glitz Sparkle, ad I added a sub sentiment from Word Topper Dies
Subtitles.
Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card for 2021 - a Christmas Card blog series!
From
October to December, I will link to a series of guest cardmakers on my
blog. I will CASE one of their cards, and they will CASE one of mine!
CASE stands for either Copy And Share Everything, or Copy And
Selectively Edit. It's about getting inspiration from cardmaking
friends,
but making a new card that is our own. And, of course, the card we each
make has to be a Christmas card!
Background
In
November 2016, I started this a little series on my blog. It started
with me wanting to challenge myself to step outside my comfort zone with
my Christmas cardmaking, so I asked friends to challenge me to do
something different. 2016 challenges included using embroidery thread on
a card, making a food themed card, making a geeky Christmas card (it
had the Tardis on it) and making a dinosaur themed card.
In 2017,
I asked some of my cardmaking friends to join me with these challenges.
Then, in 2020, I changed things up a bit by asking each of my guests to
CASE one of my cards and I would CASE one of theirs. Ardyth Percy Robb made a video in 2020 (linked here)
of a 5 step process that I use all the time when I am making a CASE of
anybody's card, so I encourage you to check out her video!
Today's guest
Today, my guest is Debbie Pamment. I have CASEd one of her cards that you can check out HERE.
If you want to see the entire video of how I made this card, join the Picket Fence Studios Community on Facebook, search for posts from me and you will find it amongst the videos!
The newest challenge at A Blog Named Hero is "Texture". My favourite way to add texture is to use Paper Glaze from Picket Fence Studios, so I went with an ombre look.
I used the Glorious Petal Stencil from Hero Arts, along with the Big Hugs Stamp & Cut set.
A Blog Named Hero has recently moved to Instagram! If you want to enter
our challenge, post your card to Instagram, tag @ablognamedhero and use
the hashtag #abnhOctoberChallenge
I'm sharing some more Christmas cards today, using stencils from Picket Fence Studios with paper glaze and paper glitz. And I have a video on the Picket Fence Studios YouTube Channel!
Today is release day at Picket Fence Studios! I have three cards to share with you today, the first two using the new Beautiful Girls Flower Wreath.
For this card, I used the 3.5 inch circle blending stencil to create the coloured circle, using inks from Catherine Pooler. I then stamped the wreath over the top in Picket Fence black ink, and added the die cut words from the Slimline Big Happy Hugs die set
For this second card, I stamped and white embossed the wreath stamp onto watercolour paper. I watercoloured it using Zig markers, and added a sentiment from the new Fancy Daily Sentiments set and the coordinating dies.
My third card today uses the new Slimline Details of a wing stencil, which I paired up with Paper Glaze and Paper Glaze enhancer. I also made a video of this card, which is up on the Picket Fence Studios YouTube channel.
And here's the video I made!
All the products used, and the rest of the amazing products in today's release, are linked below.
It's release day at Picket Fence Studios! There's new stamps and dies, but you know I have a soft spot for stencils, and I've used stencils on every card I'm sharing today!
This card uses the Centre Flower stencil, with the "you are the best" word die.
This card makes a feature of the Thank you word die, with stencil in the background. I finished with a sentiment white embossed onto black cardstock.
This elegant card uses the Slim Line centre flower stencil, along with a sentiment from the Fancy congratulations set (a new favourite of mine, along with all of the other Fancy Sentiments sets) - it also comes with matching dies, which are a game changer! I also used one of the new Paper Glazes from last month's release - I paired it with two older paper glaze colours to get an ombre look across the card.
My mum thinks this card looks like a mask. I wasn't particularly going for that look, but if Karma could kick Covid in the teeth, that would be nice!
It's release day at Picket Fence Studios, and this release is a DOOZY! It is HUGE, and there are some AMAZING stamps and dies!
In today's post, I am showcasing some of the amazing stencils in this release. All of the products in the release are listed below.
For this rainbow card, I used the Coloring Book Stencil along with the Big Hugs die.
For this next card, I made a slimline card using the Cloud Coverage stencil and the Happy Birthday word die.
This slimline card was made using alcohol inks on Yupo with the Slimline Rising Sun Stencil.
And finally, I used the Wave Sun Stencil on this card, using three new Paper Glaze colours - Yellow Primrose, Pink Carnation and Mint Hydrangea. The sentiment is from Wild Peonies.
