Hello Baby!

Hello

This super easy baby card with soft colors, cute critters, and a rainbow color palette, would be perfect to accompany a gift for a new addition.  Reversing the rainbow colors for the clouds gives even more of a storybook look to the scene.  

Process: I stamped and colored the image in first.  Then I die cut the image, along with the grass die (2 times), and the rainbow.  I adhered the rainbow to a vellum die cut.  In order to include some purple with the rainbow, I stamped and heat embossed the first part of my sentiment on purple card stock, then did the second portion on brown card stock.  I ink blended the clouds onto the card front, then adhered all of the pieces together, and added it to a white card base.

Intricate Coloring on a Clean and Simple Card

Hello!

When I saw this stamp, I knew I wanted to color that hair!  You can take a long time to color, as I did, or you can do it much simpler and quicker, but I love the finished image here.  If you'd like to see a few photos from the coloring process - keep an eye on my Instagram today, as they will be posted there later this morning.  When the coloring is as intricate as this is, I try to keep the rest of the cards fairly simple so as not to compete with the image.  

Process: The image was stamped in Barely There Amalgam Ink, and then colored in with Polychromos Pencils.  There are numerous layers of pencil to build depth to the image.  Once the coloring was done, the image was die cut, and added to a die cut panel.  The sentiment was cut multiple times from graphite card stock, and once from gold mirror card stock, then adhered together before being added to the card front.  The card front was attached to a white card base, then sequins added for a little sparkle.  

Products: Jen Girl Stamp & Coordinating Die, A2 Pierced Blanket Cover Plate Die, Iridescent Moonshine Sequins, Polychromos Pencils, other products listed at the bottom of this post.

Picket Fence Studios June Release

Hello!

It's the 14th of the month, which means that there is a new release from Picket Fence Studios.  As always, I have the entire release listed below, so that you can peek at all the new offerings, and then I have a couple of cards to share with you showcasing some of the new products.  

The June 2023 Release:

If the list below does not load for you, you can click here to view it in another window.

Specific products used in the cards below will be listed separately at the bottom of the post.

I have two cards to share with you below, along with tips on how the card was created.  All of the supplies used in the cards are listed at the bottom of the post.  For additional samples throughout the month, please follow my Instagram.  

Process: I created my die cute pieces first - layering the silver and black for the espresso machine over some black scrap, and cutting the mugs and flower vase from white card stock.  I used Copics to add a bit of color and dimension to the white die cuts.  I placed them on the table top to determine the size of Shaker Creator Die to use, then cut the stitched square shape from some kraft card stock.  I stamped the Our Finest Selection onto white card stock, and then adhered the die cuts.  I ink blended the edges of the kraft with the Tile Montage Stencil.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink, then adhered the acetate window in place, and added the foam frame around the window.  Extra foam was placed in the corners of the kraft panel.  I put a large pinch of Lake Tahoe Embellishment Mix on the die cuts, then adhered the cover panel on top of that (allowing me to see where the window was placed).  The shaker was then added to a white card base.  

Products Used to Create This Card: Scene Building: Espresso Bar Table Dies, Our Finest Selection, Espresso Yourself, 2.5" Connected Squares Shaker Creator Dies, 6x6 Tile Montage Stencil, Lake Tahoe Embellishment Jar, other items listed in the supply list at the end of this post.  

Process: I stamped and colored in the image using Fadeout Ink, and Polychromos pencils.  The kraft panel was inked by streaking ink vertically down the panel - intentionally not keeping it even.  Then I inked the A2 Against the Grain Cover Plate Die with Pumice Stone Ink before die cutting.  I stamped Our Finest Selection in white pigment ink over the textured background once.  On white card stock, I stamped the two sentiments, then die cut a white circle around them, and a coordinating black circle.  I die cut the colored image, along with a piece of white foam tape to stack behind her.  The card front was adhered together, and a few gems added for some sparkle.  

Products Used to Create This Card: BFF Ruby Girl Stamp & Coordinating Die, Espresso Yourself, Our Finest Selection, A2 Against the Grain Cover Plate Die, Sands of Time Gem Mix, other items listed in the supply list at the end of this post.
