Bright and Colorful Scene Cards!

 Hello!  Today, I have two very bright and very colorful scene cards to share with you!  For my first card, I paired A Walk in the Park with Bugville.  I stamped out my park scene and masked it off.  Then I stamped Bugville in the background.  I colored up the scene with copics and trimmed it to fit my A2 size card.  Then I stenciled in my sun with distress inks.  A very vibrant way to say, "hello!"


For my second card, I used the Slimline Die cutting system and cut 2 birch tree panel from the center.  Then I stenciled in some clouds and stamped my grass on a separate piece of paper.  I trimmed that to fit behind my card panel and adhered the two pieces together.  Then I mounted that on a piece of teal card stock.  I stamped out my flower and leaf images on Copic-friendly card stock and colored them up.  Then I die cut them out using the coordinating dies and popped them on top of my card front.  The "happy birthday" sentiment across the top finishes it off.

Picket Fence Studios December 2020 Release!!

 Hello!  It's release Day at Picket Fence Studios!  As always, there are a ton of fabulous goodies available in the shop now.  Be sure to hop over there and check them out!  

For my first card, I used the NEW Slimline Waves Stencil and paired it with some Paper Glaze in Ocean Poppy.  Then I stamped the microphone image and fussy cut it out.  I shaded it a bit with my Copic Markers, then adhered it to the top of my card panel which was cut using the Slimline Die Cutting System.  Then I stamped out my sentiments, heat embossed them and added them to the bottom of my card with some foam tape.  Some Gin and Tonic Sequins finish off this card.  


For my second card, I decided to work with both of the NEW Walk in the Park stamps.  I used the Slimline Die Cutting System to cut my card panel and orange background layer.  Then I stamped my park image twice to fill the card.  It doesn't match up exactly, but it's very close and I was able to disguise the overlap with a few of my people images.  I stenciled in the sunrise using the NEW Burst of Sun Stencil.  I also used the Corner Sun Stencil to fill in the middle of the sunrise.  After coloring up the scene with Copics, I used the coordinating die set to cut out my people and layered them on top of the scene using liquid glue and foam tape.  I just love how this turned out!!!  


My final card features a winter scene with the Walk in the Park set.  I love that you can color up this image to fit any season!  First, I stamped out the park scene.  Then I masked it off and added my clouds with the NEW Slimline Cloud Coverage Stencil.  Then I removed the mask and colored the whole think in with Copic markers.  I added snow to the tops of the trees and bushes by leaving them white and adding a little Stickles glitter to them.  Then I stamped out my people, used the coordinating dies to cut them out, and added them to my scene using foam tape.  Some white paint splatters and a sentiment across the top finish it off.

CC Designs December Release Day!

 It's Release Day at CC Designs!!! You can find all the new goodies in the shop NOW!  Be sure to stop by and check out all the new stuff!  

For my project today, I decided to create a little Hot-Cocoa Envelope.  First, I started with some patterned paper, folded it in half and trimmed one side just a bit.  Then I stitched on some polka dot fabric across the front and stitched both sides of the pocket together.  I stamped out this cute little penguin, colored him up, and fussy cut him out.  Then I layered him on top of a die cut circle and added that to a blue Deco Square.  I also added a little die cut tree and some enamel dots to my scene.  After attaching it to my pocket, I stamped out my sentiment from the NEW Snow Peeps set and added that just behind the top circle.  To finish it off, I added my cocoa packet and a candy cane spoon!  So fun!
