Picket Fence Stamps Aeonium African Succulent


If the stamp industry had an Oscars for stamps, I would nominate the Picket Fence Aeonium African Succulent stamp for Best Background Stamp.  I was head over heels for it the first time I saw it at Creativation in January.   It can be used in so many ways by just changing the sentiment.  


I wanted to color the stamp in the traditional succulent colors.  I decided to pull out my Chameleon Pens.  I don't know why they are called pens because I think they are markers.   They are unique from Copics.  A while back they came out with Color Tops.  The Color Tops let you blend different colors together very easily.    All you do is kiss the pen to the top and count.  The longer you count the longer the Color Top lasts on the pen.

Check out the video to see how easy it was to blend green and lavender.  Don't forget to like and subscribe button.

Team Tuesday with Ilina

Hi eveyone!
Ilina here today taking over the My Sweet Petunia blog. Today I am sharing a card using some Picket Fence Studios goodies.
I started with a pre-made alcohol ink background on Yupo paper. I masked the edges where the white space was and stamped the background using my MISTI, once stamped I applied gold embossing powder, removed the particles from around the creases of the background and heat set it.
Stamped the image in Versamark and embossed in gold, then colored and trimmed it. 
Stamped the sentiment on Vellum, and again embossed in gold, then trimmed to size and added on my card. 
I assembled my card onto white top folding note card. 
Watch the video below to see how this card came to be!

Team Tuesdays with Susan - A Lazy Stamper


Hi,
Yes, it is my turn on the blog and yes, I have posted this card before on my blog! However, life is rather chaotic lately with my mom and mother in-law needing care. My Sweet Petunia's Design Team wonderful team lead - Lydia Fielder - said I could re-post this here. You might wonder what I used the MISTI and Cut Align for in this card! I used my MISTI for all the repeated stamping of the flowers and the leaves. I still have extra flowers and leaves left. I stamped a total of 10 flowers and 10 leaves and heat embossed them in about 20 minutes.  I hope to make another card soon with the leftovers.  I store leftovers in a small dish that sits on my desk. Creating leftovers is part of the brilliance of multiple stamping with the MISTI.

The Cut Align - my new best friend - I used that for the sentiment strip on this card. In fact, I have been using it for all sentiment strips since Lydia sent me one. I am trying to figure out how to feature it in a video without featuring my head leaning over it lol. As a person with a tremor I feel very blessed to have this tool.

 I do have a video up on my You Tube channel - Susan Wymer Card Designs. The content about the giveaways no longer apply as the comments are closed but you can see how I made the card.

Thanks for understanding my posting a repeat card over here. I hope to be posting something more interesting and informative for my next post.

As always thanks for stopping by and joining us here at the blog;
Susan

Products Used: I am using compensated affiliate links at no further cost to you. I received the stamps and dies used in making this card as part of my guest designer work for Altenew. I selected the Altenew products I used because I loved them and I love working with Altenew and My Sweet Petunia. I was given the Cut Align as a gift from a very dear friend. I purchased my own MISTIs because I think they are essential for my stamping process.

Concord & 9th Faceted Turnabout


I will have you know that I made this card right after I came back from Creativation.   I just didn't want to post it until the featured product was available.  At Creativation, Thermoweb gave me this new stencil spray called Pixie Spray and I could not wait to try it.  I am telling you it is phenomenal!  I sprayed the stencil once and made a several cards with that one application.  What is really cool about the spray is that when you touch where it is applied it does not feel sticky.  You have to give it a try. 

Please enjoy the video and don't forget to like and subscribe!
