Hello there! It's Andrea with you sharing a Christmas card created with fun dies from Picket Fence Studios. I just love Picket Fence Studios' line of Nibbles Dies! Today, I'm featuring the Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus Dies. Aren't they adorable?! I diecut the elements for Santa and Mrs. Claus from white, red and gold cardstocks. I colored the white and red diecuts with Copics, assembled the characters with liquid adhesive, and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Hi there! It's Andrea with you to share a fun card featuring the new Be My Boo? stamp set and October 31st Word Dies. These ghosts from the Be My Boo? stamp set are so cute!

For the shaker I...

She's from the new Freckle Friends: Bella Boo stamp set. I colored her with Copics and added highlights with a white gel pen. It doesn't show in the photos, but I also brushed clear sparkle over her costume (What little girl wouldn't love a sparkly cat costume?). That awesome background is from the new Halloween Cottages Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts. You really don't need to do much when you...

Hello there! It's Andrea back with you, and today I'm sharing a fall card featuring products from Picket Fence Studios' July release. Who else is ready for fall?!! Those gorgeous leaves are from the Layered Flora: Fall Foliage Dies. Aren't they awesome?! To create them, I first scribbled watercolor markers onto watercolor paper, spread the ink with water, and then dried it with my heat tool. I repeated the steps to build up the color before adding Opaque Black Paper Splatter. Once the paper was dry, I diecut it with the Fall Foliage Dies. I also diecut leaves from gold...
