Hi friends! I’m so excited to share our newest exclusive kit with you, A Perfect Way to Say Hello. With rustic woodland elements that are as fun to use as they are to share, this kit is sure to bring a lot of joy to your craft desk!  A Perfect Way to Say Hello Kit  Option 1: This exclusive kit is packed with everything you need to create stunning projects—and then some! With a retail value of $99.99, you’re getting it for just $49.99. That’s an incredible deal for such a versatile collection of specialty materials. Here’s what’s included: OPTION 1 ($49.99 / $99.99 Value) A Perfect Way to Say Hello Die Set Hugs for You Die Set Mini Mister Liquid Antique Linen Paper Splatter Sequins Compact DecoGel 1.0 Black Gel Pen Two full-size white flocking sheets 13 flocking sheets in varying sizes Tim Holtz/Ranger Watercolor Paper My Colors Heavyweight 8.5 x 11 Cardstock in Battleship Gray, Herb Garden, Lemon Lime, Black OPTION 2 ($66.50 / $132.97 Value) Everything in Option 1 plus Friendship Matters Stamp and Coordinating Die.  Let’s Make Some Cards ( or 10!) I had so much fun creating with this kit! With so many adorable critters to choose from, I made a variety of cards to show off their versatility. Some designs feature only the kit contents, while others mix in a few of my favorite PFS products for even more creative possibilities. There’s something here for every occasion—and I can’t wait to share them all with you! Word Die Panel Shaker Technique If you’re after quick and simple card designs, these two are a great starting point. I’ve used the same layout for both, featuring the stencil, and word dies from the same die set as the crtitters. One card is an easy shaker design, and for the other, I’ve added a sentiment and one of the adorable critters—a raccoon, in this case. Both cards are perfect for little boys, men, or anyone who appreciates a clean and fun design. With just a few small changes, you can create something unique without a lot of fuss. Products Used: Kit Option 1 A2 Pinking Shear Cover Plate Die Swanky Sentiments Birthday Swanky Sentiments Birthday Dies Hugs For You Using the Hugs for You die set, I created another two ombre cards. I'm really getting back onto cardmaking and have enjoyed using so many elements from the kit - and adding in a few from my stash.  The first card is a simple A2 card using the Paper Splatter, and Hugs For You Die set from the Kit. I've added in the Vintage Rectangles, and Opaque White Paper Splatter to finish the look.  The second card uses the same dies and Paper Splatter, but added in the stencil from the kit. In addition, I've used the die from Vinateg Opaque White Paper Splatter and Twinkle Lights Clear Paper Glaze. I adore this sweet 5"x 5" card, and love how the clear paper glaze looks on white card.  Products Used:  Kit Option 1 Paper Glaze Luxe - Twinkle Lights Clear Vintage Heart Vintage Heart Die Opaque White Paper Splatter 8"x 8" Paper Inking Palette You're Friendship Matters to Me This card features the large tree trunk design from the kit. I've used soft Copic colours for this sweet pink tree.  I’ve paired it with the Friendship Matters Sentiment set - which is included in Option 2, and makes a lovely addition. The mix of pink tones, bunniws and woodland vibes makes me happy.  Hopping into Friendship  For these cards, I mixed in a few extra products, including a cover die from the A2 Rectangles set. The fun heart pattern cover plate die adds the perfect backdrop for those adorable bunnies! I loved the design so much that I made a second version—this time with a pink panel instead of white. A simple tweak, but it completely changes the look! Products Used:  Kit Option 2  A2 Rectangle and Cover Plate Dies Hello There, Blue! This kit wouldn't be complete without this adorable bear!  This fun card takes on cool tones with Copics adding depth to the tree trunk and flocking papers bringing the critters to life. Featuring a bear and raccoon, it’s another great option for boys or anyone who loves woodland animals. Products Used: Kit Option 1 Swanky Sentiments Salutations Swanky Sentiments Salutations Dies Happy Birthday, Deer How cute are these deer?! You can use them with or without antlers and both are equally adorable.  I've used the stencil again from the Kit, but added in the Happy Birthday from  Products Used: Kit 1 Option Swanky Sentiments Birthday Swanky Sentiments Birthday Dies Vintage Hugs For You I wanted to use this stamp and die alongside the kit but waited to make this my last card.  The vintage wood goes perfect with this kit! And if you look closely, you will see that I mixed in some of the Linen Paper Splatter (included in kit) with the clear twinkle lights and it's just divine! The Lemon Lime, and Kraft card are also included in the kit, and everything ties together so well.   Products Used:  Kit Option 1 Paper Glaze Luxe - Twinkle Lights Clear Vintage Heart Vintage Heart Die 8"x 8" Paper Inking Palette We, that's a whole lot of cards using this kit! Although I've added in a few additional products, I've tried to keep it to a minimum, and also use them more than once.  There were so many more design ideas in my head but I ran out of time - haha!  Purchase the Kit  OPTION 1 OPTION 2 Thank you for taking the time to visit this blog post today and if you managed to get through it all, well done! haha. I do write big posts with multiple cards, but this is much larger than usual - so thank you.  Shop everything in the Picket Fence Studios shop by clicking here. I'll be back soon,  taJen
