Hello, friends! Welcome to the PFS blog! I´m Silvana from Casa Magnolia and today I´ve got a simple but yet beautiful thank you card for a friend.
The october release brought many notebook-related products, and I thought it could be fun to make a card like the notes we used to pass secretly in school.
The card features the new A2 Marble Notebook Cover Stamp on the background which I stamped with the Black Hybrid ink pad twice and a third time with embossing ink and clear embossing powder. I wanted that extra shine the embossing powder gives for my background.
The "piece of paper" of my note is a new die called A2 Ripped Notebook Cover plate die which I loved because it has the page details, like the torn edge or the embossed writing lines.
For the caps letters in the note, I used the Pinking Shear A2 Cover Plate Die which comes with an alphabet die. I cut the letters in white cardstock and for the coloring I placed them on a Paper Inking Palette and used Distress Oxide inks with Paper pouncers. The easiest way to have the colors you want without using colored cardstock.
The "my friend" and "thank you" stamps come from the new Beauty found in a vase stamp set stamped with the same black ink.
And that´s my completed card! I know exactly who I’m going to give this card to, which is what always helps me when creating cards: thinking about who the recipient might be.
I hope you liked it and inspires you to send a secret note to a friend too.
Thank you so much for stoping by the blog today.
See you in my next post. Have a fantastic week!
Silvana.

Hi there! It's Andrea back to share a card featuring several products from Picket Fence Studios' October release.
You might recognize that cute girl from an earlier release: She's from the Freckle Friends: Penelope Pumpkin stamp set. I colored her with Copics, cut her out with the coordinating dies, and added white highlights with a gel pen.
The marbled background was created with the new A2 Marble Notebook Cover stamp. I stamped it in pink onto white cardstock and diecut it with the new Beyond Basics: A2 Rectangles & Cover Plate Dies. I attached the background to a white card with double-sided adhesive.
Using the new A2 Ripped Notebook Cover Plate Die, I diecut both white and peach cardstocks. Onto the white diecut, I stamped the small floral spray from the Autumn Bountiful Beauty set twice in a soft orange ink and a sentiment from the same set in black. I trimmed off the top portion of the peach diecut, leaving just the ripped edge. I adhered the white piece with foam to my card and tucked under the peach strip.
I affixed my colored image with foam and added some gems from the new Thunderstorm Gem Mix for a little sparkle. For the finishing touch, I wrapped black twine around the top of the card.
Thanks for stopping by!
