PFS Two Floral Cards in One

Today I’ve got two cards to share with you made with the Hello There die (this and all links are affiliate links) from the new Picket Fence Studios release! I coloured up the huge Blooming Chrysanthemum and used the new Hello die to cut Hello out from the coloured flower. I then put the whole thing on foam tape and the card was done. Simple and pretty!

You can see that the foam tape raises everything up from the card base.

As it is a whole Hello die it will align perfectly completely effortlessly.

For the matching card I used the cut out hello and glued them onto a base where I had stamped up the flower in a pale shade. I used a few layers of hello to raise the text from the panel and then I layered a couple of white “there”‘s to put on top. Here I also used a few sequins from the I’m Alive embellishment jar.

Here is a close-up of this one as well where you can easily spot the layers.

PFS New Release – Wreath

I’ve made a wreath as my first card for the new Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) release. First I made a panel using the A2 Pierced Blanket Cover die. I’ve cut out various of the dies from the new Macrame Pot and Flora dies in different colours and then I built a wreath using the 3.0″ Connected Circles Shaker Creator die. I cut out the word there from the new Another Hello There word die in a darker matching colour (with a few white ones behind to make it pop) and put it partially into the circle before adding a small Hi and a few sequins from the All About the Teals sequin mix.

On this side on view you can better see the layered dimensions of the card

And here is a close-up

PFS Watermelon shaker

Anybody else noticing that this year is hurrying along at an absolutely ridiculous speed? I feel like I blinked and there April was gone. Thankfully thinks are looking to slow down a little in a few weeks and I cannot wait!

Here I’ve made a full size shaker! Not something that frequents this blog a lot, but they are still fun to make. This time I’ve made it using the A2 Full Front Shaker die by Picket Fence Studios together with their Shaker Sheets. I LOVE it! It is so easy to work with, and with their ridiculously large collection of awesome sequin mixes and embellishment jars you’re bound to find some new favourites. This one is called Watermelon Crush.

The background is made using the Watermelon Nectar. I stamped it up a few times and then coloured in aaaaall the watermelon pieces (while potentially having a bowl of cut melon next to me, shhh). The Oversized Hello die worked perfectly with the rest and it is easy to add a small sentiment strip to go with at a later date!

Here is the card laying down:

PFS Hydrangea

I’ve had so much fun colouring up various Picket Fence Studio (all links are aff. links) stamps lately. Here is one from the latest release, Mophead Hydrangea, where I opted for bold black lines on the stamp itself. The colouring is pretty simple, for a change, with various markers in pinks and lilac to make up the colours of the flowers.

To frame it all in I used bright pink card stock and then made the sentiment with the same paper. I used the Oversized Hello slimline die for this. I cut them out several times and then glued them together for dimension. And to finish it all off I added a few hearts from the Diva Hearts embellishment mix.
