Meet the Maker
Hello my name is Waleska Galindo, I have been a card maker for the past 10 years. I have a wonderful, understanding and supportive husband and 2 teenage kids, Ian is 15 and Leah is 13. I live in the beautiful Guatemala city in Central America.
I am a Graphic Designer that fell in love with cardmaking and stamping from the moment I found this beautiful form of art. During this time I have discovered that I am a very passionate cardmaker. My favorite cards to make are scene cards with vibrant color combinations, I am also super fan of Halloween so Halloween cards have a special place in my heart too.
I have met amazing and talented creators during this time as a cardmaker and for me is an honor to be part of this beautiful industry in any way. I am very excited to Guest Design for Picket Fence Studios and share some Spooky inspiration with you.
The Projects
Waleska has conjured up a series of Halloween-themed cards that are anything but ordinary! Each design is bursting with bold colors, playful characters, and just the right amount of spooky charm. From vibrant skies to adorable ghosts and clever sentiments, these cards are sure to bring a smile to your face
Will you be my Boo?
Waleska's first card is all about cute ghostly charm! Using the Be my Boo Stamps and the Haunted Moon Stencil, she's created a vibrant Halloween scene that feels playful and fun. The glowing sunset background, made with bold blends of color, sets the perfect stage for these dapper little ghosts. Topped with the Freaky Friday Sequin Mix Plus for a bit of sparkle, this card is a delightful mix of playfulness and spookiness! The eye-catching colorful background works perfectly with the help of the Rainbow Pint-Sized Paper Pouncers, and A Message in the Night A2 Stencil.

Trick or Treat
The second card to showcase takes spooky to the next level with its neon-bright colors and creepy crawly accents! Using the Trick or Treat Halloween Word Die, she created a bold, dimensional sentiment that pops right off the card. The background features the Spider Menagerie Stencil filled with glittery purple spiders that give this card a fun, eerie vibe. Just the right touch of sparkle was added with the Finally, Halloween Sequin Mix Plus, bringing some extra shine to this lively design.
The vibrant lime green and purple background is enhanced with Hanuted Pumpkin Midnight PGL, adding that perfect glow that makes this card both playful and spooky. It's a true Halloween treat!
