Picket Fence September Release Day & a Giveaway

It's Release Day at Picket Fence Studios and I am super excited to share fabulous new stamps and stencils with you!  

First up is the darling polar bear set, A Bear Kind of Winter.  I created a winter scene with the 3 1/2 Blending Circle Stencil.  The blending circle stencil is such a fun tool it includes the stencil and a circle mask!  I tapped my inky "Life Changing" Blender Brush on the plastic stencil before blending on cardstock to keep from getting a harsh starting point on the cardstock.  The blotted ink on the stencil can be used for more blending.  I think these bears are a hoot and it's fun that they face different directions so there is no need for a mirror image technique.  


For the inside, I stamped this cute bear and a single snowflake from the set. 



       


Next up is All that Glitters!  Isn't this an amazing stamp?  I used embossing glitter so IRL this card is super sparkly!   For the greeting in the center, I stamped the sentiment from String of Lights since there is enough space between the words it was super easy to mask and create a double lined sentiment out of the single line then I added the bell from the dangling light image included in the same set.

The dangling lights are just too fun not to feature more fully so I created envelope art by stamping the lights on the envie.

  4. What gorgeous cards Angie - love the bear one!! I have no particular way to use circles, but I do like cutting them 'off the edge' and having an image inside it.

  6. hmmm...i thought i had commented on this. This is so fun to have the light rays in the circle like that. and your envie art is surely a fun add on for any recipient. Mostly i like to use circle die cuts in the corner and chop off a bit of them to fit the corner.

  7. Oh wow !! These two cards are sooo beautiful ! And these two stamp sets as well. I really love the “All that glitters” one, it’s so unique. About your question, I’m not really sure what to answer you because i don’t really have a favourite way to use circle. I love using one to make a light blending outside of the circle, so it makes some kind of halo. Hopefully, you’ll be satisfied with this explanation... 😊 Thanks for sharing your amazing talent !! Love, Marjorie
