Hello there! Eugy here and welcome back to The Picket Fence Studios Christmas Countdown! Just 8 days left, so exited! Today I would like to share with you this simple card, which is a great idea for a last minute project!

After I stamped and die-cut the wreath and sentiment, I colored my...

Hello and welcome to the Christmas countdown on PFS blog! I'm Laura and I'm very excited to be here again on the Picket Fence Studios blog showing this christmas card that I hope will inspire you!  To start I used the "Frolicking Winter Friends" Stamps set that I stamped with "Black Hybrid ink pad" which is perfect for this type of stamps!

After that, I added some dimension using Christmas Ornaments Stencil and the Blackboard Paper Glaze Velvet.  Then...

Hi, Crafty friends! It´s Silvana here and today I´m sharing with you this lovely slimline card made with some new products of the November release.  The new Layering flora: Blooming Blossoms dies are just amazing! You can create beautiful layering flowers in different sizes and use any cardstock you like. I used some colored cardstock, arranging the flowers in a "rainbowish" order. The hello word die comes in the 5x7 Double stitched Layering Rectangles dies set. I diecut it three times in a heavy white cardstock and then one time in a gold cardstock.  For the background, I used the...
