Today, we are thrilled to introduce our Guest Designer, the talented and charming Carol Hintermeier! 🎉 We were honored to meet Carol at the CREATE! event this year, and she was a true joy! Let's get to know her and the incredible cards she has crafted for us, all of which beautifully capture the essence of autumn.
Meet Carol Hintermeier:
👩🎨 "Hello! I’m Carol and I’m a born and raised Texan! I have lived here all my life and enjoy it with my husband of 36 years, our two beautiful adult daughters, and our sweet Maltese named Baxter.
Outside of my craft room, I enjoy a bit of gardening, bike riding, and more recently, pickleball (I’m addicted LOL)! I have loved creating for as long as I can remember. I have enjoyed embroidery, crochet, macrame, cross-stitch, scrapbooking, and, of course, card making!
I started out card making with a brass stencil, lightbox, and stylus! So, thank goodness that’s in the past, and I have enjoyed stamping, coloring, die-cutting, embossing, and all things related to card making for about 15 years now." 🍂🌼
LEMON QUEEN SUNFLOWER
🌻🍋 Embrace the brilliance of nature with "The Lemon Queen Sunflower"! The sunflower takes center stage, flaunting its sunny yellow petals and warm hues against the deep blue backdrop. Its radiant beauty stands out even more, like a beacon of light in the darkness of the night.
HEY, HAY, HEY, FRIEND!
🎃🌽 Get ready to fall in love with "Hey, Hay Hey!"—the adorable scarecrow card that will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face! This delightful card features a charming scarecrow, set against a corn backdrop that is totally a-maize-ing!
AUTUMN HAS ARRIVED
🍁🌙 The third card by Carol is a breathtaking masterpiece that captures the essence of an autumn harvest bathed in the soft glow of moonlight. The combination of deep, rich colors with subtle moonlit highlights creates a mesmerizing scene. This card embodies the enchanting and magical qualities of fall evenings.
Carol's creativity and passion for crafting shine brightly in each of these cards. We are truly honored to have her as our Guest Designer this month. Make sure to check out Carol's social media platforms. We hope her cards inspire you to explore the beauty of fall!

Hi, everyone! It´s Silvana here from Casa Magnolia and I´m so happy to be for the first time in the Picket Fence Studios blog. Today I´m sharing a shaker card made with some new products of the July release and previous products.
Picket Fence has this amazing A2 Full Front Shaker die to make shaker cards that makes it so easy! Just cut the acetate and you´ll have the perfect A2 size piece and the marks to fold and paste the flaps. Acetate can be tricky to fold but this die help us very much with that.
For the back panel of the card I dry emboss an A2 size piece of cardstock with the new stencil Shadow of leaves. Then, I paste the diecut acetate panel and filled the shaker with the new Sequin Mix Yellow Bottlecap Flowers.
The beautiful flower stamp is called A mum which I die cut with the coordinating die. I colored the stamp with Copic markers to combine with the sequin mix.
The sentiment is from the new stamp set Fancy Life Events sentiments and its coordinating die. I heat emboss it with white embossing powder on black cardstock.
Even though the card has some fall vibes, we can use it for any ocassion. It can be given with a wedding present or on a birthday party.
I hope you like it!
See you in my next post.
Virtual hugs,
Silvana.
