You Are So Extra Off the Edge Card - Picket Fence Studios

Hello, my crafty friends!

I literally have an Extra special card to share with you today. When I saw these new dies from the latest Picket Fence Studios release, I knew exactly what I wanted to create. My vision was clear: to elevate the feathers on this card to a whole new level and make it so extra. And what better way to achieve that than an off-the-edge card design.

CARD RECIPE

SO EXTRA

• Apply a thin layer of Paper Glitz - Sparkle to a white piece of cardstock and allow to dry.
• Die-cut a couple of layers using the You Are So Extra Word Die, and stack and glue them together. 
• Die-cut another layer using the Sparkle Glitz layer and glue on top of the previous layers. Set aside.

FEATHERS

• On a piece of white card stock blend out the colors you want to use for the feathers. I used yellow, pink, and blue ink. 
• Over the blended inks add a layer of the same Paper Glitz - Sparkle paste. Allow to dry. 
• Once dry, die-cut the feathers using the More Fanciful Feathers Dies. Glue them onto another black die-cut layer. 

CARD BASE

• Line up the feather dies along the top edge of an A2-sized black card panel. Tape them in place.
• Line up the top plate of your die-cutting sandwich over the top half of the feather dies, so that only the top of the feathers are cut out.
• Trim away the extra space around the feathers using a straight edge or a slicer.
• Line up the colorful feathers from the previous step onto the off-the-edge panel.
• Glue the You Are So Extra Word layer onto the bottom of the panel.
• Next, glue the finished panel onto a horizontal A2-sized card base, ensuring that the feather edge aligns with the fold of the card base.
• Trim off the excess bottom of the card base. This results in a card that extends off the edge, perfectly sized to fit into an A2-sized envelope.
• Finish the card with some gemstone stickers. 

Do you know someone who's just a little extra? I sure do, and I think this card would be perfect for them! Stamp a happy birthday sentiment on the inside or something else to make them smile and send it to them.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Blooming Wildflowers March Release | Picket Fence Studios

Hello friends and happy Thursday.

Today I am taking part in the Blooming Wildflowers March Release Instagram Hop for Picket Fence Studios and of course, you are all invited to join in on the festivities as there is a $50 prize for grabs! To join in click 👉HERE.

CARD RECIPE

My card features the Brighter Days Gerbera Daisy and coordinating Dies. I stamped out the image using Black Hybrid Ink Pad and then colored it in using Copic Markers. I added white gel pen details for highlights and to the center, I added some sparkle using a glue pen and some sparkle glitter. The sentiment also comes from the Brighter Days Gerbera Daisy.

For the background, I applied Bee Sting Glaze to the Center Polka Dot Stencil. To finish I added a few of the iridescent drops from the Glamorous Embellishments Jar. I love how this cheerful card turned out😍

I hope you have been inspired by this Gerbera Bloom today. If you want to see more inspiration from the Blooming Wildflowers Release make sure to check out today's Instagram Hop.

Butterfly Rainbow Shaker Card | Picket Fence Studios

Hello, my friends. Hope you are having a wonderful week.

I don't know about you but I am ready for Spring. I'm tired of the cold and can't wait for the rain, rainbows, and all the joys that Spring brings. Just take a look at the colorful butterfly card I'm sharing today—it says it all!

CARD RECIPE

Butterflies - Wreath-building butterfly wings

Frame - A2 rectangles for card layering set

DIY Shaker Pocket - Shaker Sheets - Picket Fence Studios

Shaker bits - Sequin Mix - Iridescent Moonshine

Sentiment - Wreath-building butterfly wings

Black Ink - Black Hybrid Ink Pad

To start, I trimmed the shaker panel using one of the frames from the A2 rectangles for card layering set. Then to ensure that there would be absolutely no movement when stamping, I inserted the Paper Inking Palette - 5x6 into my Misti. For it to fit nicely, I did trim off a little edge around the palette. I then added the panel to the ink palette, it should stick nicely to the palette without the use of magnets or tape. Next, I used a circle die to plan out the butterfly ring. I placed all of the butterfly stamps on the top half of the circle die to form an semi-circle, I then picked up the stamps with the lid of the Misti and removed the die in preparation for stamping.

Using the Pint-sized Paper Pouncers I began transferring the ink to each butterfly by pouncing ink onto the stamps creating gradient colors of the rainbow, and stamping the images one at a time. Wiping the ink off if necessary from the stamps if I didn't want the colors to blend. Once I was done stamping the top semi-circle, I cleaned off all the stamps and rotated the panel to continue stamping the rest of the rainbow circle.

Now that the rainbow butterflies were complete, I then stamped out the sentiment using Black Hybrid Ink Pad. I then created a shaker pocket using the Shaker Sheets that I wrapped around the panel. Before securing the last flap I added the Iridescent Moonshine Sequin Mix. To the back of the panel, I added a foam backing adhesive. Finally, I glued the shaker panel to a card base that I had blended out rainbow ink to the edges.

Make sure to check out my Instagram as I will be sharing a Reel there on how this came together. If you are like me, it is much easier to see how this came together. I hope this colorful card brought some joy to your winter day.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

You and Bee Honey Card | Picket Fence Studios

Hello, and Happy Valentine's Day my friends!

Today's card is part of the new collection from Picket Fence's Nature's Wonderland Release, and I couldn't help but make it love-themed with a punny sentiment to celebrate the day😉 Join me and the design team over on Instagram for a fun Hop and chances to win prizes!

CARD RECIPE

Background - Garden Lattice A2 Cover Plate

Bees - Happy Bumble Bee Dies

Flowers - Layering Cherry Blossoms Dies

Sentiment - Wreath Building Greetings From Our Hive 

Ink - Black Hybrid Ink Pad

Tools - Pint-sized Paper Pouncers - Bright Rainbow

Besides, a little stamping and ink pouncing, the majority of the card was die-cutting and assembly. So I won't go into much detail.

For the bees, I cut out 3 different layers black, white, and yellow. I trimmed out and pieced what I needed. For the little heart, I just colored the white layer with a pink marker. Before gluing the layers together I added some color to the wings and the bee bellies with markers. Once they were glued together, I then linked the antennas and glued the Bees to the card front. Doesn't it look like their bodies are forming a heart?

For the cherry blossoms, I used a Paper Pouncer to add pink ink to the center of the flowers. I then cut an additional white layer that I kept together by affixing tape to the back of the die cuts and then glued the pink layer to it. To finish them off I added a pink gem to each center.

The sentiment was stamped out using the Black Hybrid Ink Pad and then fussy cut.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Bake a Cookie Gift Card | Picket Fence Studios

Hello friends! 

I have another post to share with you today, this time featuring some new goodies from Picket Fence Studios and I think this one is pretty sweet 😉 yes, pun intended. The simple technique I am sharing is a great way to give a gift card to someone and this fun Bake a Cookie A2 Layering Stencil Set makes the perfect backdrop to gift a sweet treat.

CARD RECIPE

Background - Bake a Cookie A2 Layering Stencil Set

Sentiment - Lick the Bowl

Stencil Stabilizer  - Paper Inking Palette - 4x9

Stencil Paste - Paper Glitz - Buttercream

Stencil Paste - Paper Glaze Luxe - Chocolate Frosting

Inside ink - Black Hybrid Ink Pad

To start, I used the bottom cookie layer stencil from the Bake a Cookie A2 Layering Stencil Set and applied a thin layer of Paper Glitz - Buttercream. While that layer was drying I stamped out the sentiment from the Lick the Bowl stamp set using white pigment ink that I then heat set with white embossing powder. I then trimmed out the sentiment strip with a paper trimmer. 

Now back to the background, add the top layer of the cookies using the other stencil from the Bake a Cookie A2 Layering Stencil Set this time using Paper Glaze Luxe - Chocolate Frosting. Once that is dry it is time to assemble the card.

Add foam dots behind the sentiment strip, the width of the foam placement should match the width of the gift card, snug enough to secure the card in place, but not too tight that it is hard to remove it. Once that is figured out center it onto the card front and stick the strip in place. Snip off any excess paper that hangs off the edge of the card. I then added some gems to the strip for extra sparkle. Here is another look at the card without the gift card in place.

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the Lick the Bowl using a Black Hybrid Ink Pad.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this simple gift card technique, and for those of you who want to see my debut Reel for Picket Fence Studios, make sure you are following along on Instagram.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
