Guest Designer: Picket Fence Studios

Earlier this year at Creativation I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole, the owner of Picket Fence Studio.  She is unbelievably sweet and easy going.  We clicked.  Nicole asked me to do a Guest Designer post for her in April but I was going on vacation and the timing was just off. 

So here I am finally doing a post for her.   Nicole sent me the May release and I immediately was drawn to the Piper & Peaches stamp.   I find it easier and faster to die cut my pieces and then stamp on them.  Lining up the dies is tedious when making multiples.  In the video below, I show you how to die cut and then stamp.

Here is a variation of the previous card.  I was singing the theme song from The Golden Girls for days after making this card.  I loved the Layers of Grass stencil.  It was easy to create the seam between the grass and sky with the way the stencil was designed.

As a bonus, here is another card I made using the Botan Peony from the March release.    I hope you enjoy the videos below.  All the supplies are listed below.

Team Tuesday with Stephanie: Doing the Turnabout Jig

When I saw the new Turnabout Jig at Concord & 9th, I had to pull out my MISTI and give it a try.   I also purchased the Turnabout Alignment Aid Pack, which makes lining-up your stamps a piece-of-cake.

Today's card is made with the Oh Hello Turnabout Stamp.

You start by placing your turnabout image face down onto the alignment aid.

Your next step is placing the Turnabout Jig in the base of your MISTI with the number *1* at the top right corner.  Then you align the *X* on the alignment aid on top of the *X* on the jig.  

You close your MISTI lid to pick-up the stamp, and then peel the alignment aid off ... and TA DA ... your turnabout stamp is perfectly placed.

The Turnabout Jig has registration marks, so you know exactly where to place your card base ... you just use some temporary adhesive on the back of the cardstock to stick it down to the JIG for rotating.

The printed numbers on the Jig help you make sure you always have your cardstock positioned correctly.

And as always, with the fourth stamping in your MISTI, you have a gorgeous 4-color background.  The extra ink cleans off very easily from the Jig once you lift up your cardstock.

I finished my card using the layout from Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday.

The bonus theme is water-color, so I punched a butterfly from a scrap of water-colored paper to embellish my card ,,, I love that tiny bit of purple with all of those gorgeous blues.

I could very easily say that using subtle pattern paper is another way to add texture to a card.  Saying that would make me sound like such an expert.  But in reality, I really just want to get rid of my pattern paper.  Simply purging feels so wrong.

I rarely read blog posts, except for Understand Blue.  My friend, Lydia, is hilarious so I have to read her posts each time.   I typically just look at the pretty pictures.   I don't think that I am alone.   That is why this post is so short.... I just don't have anything to add to the video. 

Hope you enjoy the video and I hope you comment letting me know if you have purged or used your pattern paper.   Do you buy a lot of pattern paper?  If you comment, then I will know you read my post.

Thanks for stopping by!
