Hello!   Picket Fence Studios has a wide variety of stamps and dies so that you can create something new and unique for every personality type in your life! With more and more of us currently sheltering in place, there has never been a better time to send out homemade happy mail.  Today I am featuring two different card styles with sentiments from one beautiful floral stamp. This is a fine example of how versatile PFS Stamp sets really are! First up is a graphic style card. I die cut the Word Bubbles from an alcohol background then I created a shadow from black...
