Hello, again! It's Andrea back with another floral card. I seriously cannot get enough of the March release!
The feature image of my card is from the new Like a Wildflower stamp set. After stamping it with Black Hybrid Ink, I colored it with Copics and cut it out.
To create my background, I diecut white cardstock with the A2 Rectangles for Card Layering Dies. I backed the piece with pale yellow cardstock and adhered it to a white card.
I applied Blue Paper Glaze Luxe from the Nature Sampler Set to white cardstock and allowed it to dry. Next, I diecut the panel, along with vellum and white cardstock, with the Garden Topper Cover Plate Die, focusing on the foliage on one end of the die. After adhering my colored image to my card with foam, I tucked the diecut sprigs underneath, securing them with liquid adhesive.
I stamped a sentiment from Like a Wildflower with Black Hybrid Ink and diecut it with an oval die from the new Basic Die Cutting Die Set 1. I popped up the sentiment with foam squares and finished with a few clear drops.
Thanks for stopping by!

Friends and Wildflowers Can Grow Anywhere
by Brenda Noelke on Mar 25 2024
Hello, friends & happy Monday!! I hope you had a great weekend!! Brenda here with a floral friendship card featuring some of the goodies from the latest Botanical Blooms Release!!
I started by die-cutting the Garden Topper Die two times from white cardstock. I colored one of them with Copic markers, then adhered the white one behind it for added stability. The window frame from the Basic Die Cutting Die Set 1 was cut from gray cardstock, along with a 4.25” wide strip.
Next, I drew the outside of the window frame onto a panel from the Clouds of Dreams Fabulous Glossy A2 Card Fronts, trimmed it down and adhered it to the back of the window.
The Scene Building: Falling Brick Wall Die was cut two times from light gray cardstock. They were adhered to a panel of white cardstock that was cut with the largest die in the A2 Rectangles Layering Die Set and the excess was trimmed from each side. The window and flowers were adhered to the background panel and it was adhered to a white A2 card base, all with liquid glue.
The sentiment, from the Like A Wildflower Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto the strip of gray cardstock. It was adhered across the bottom of the flowers to complete the card.
That’ll do it for me today!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a terrific week!!
Brenda

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Picket Fence Studios blog! It´s Silvana here and today I´m sharing with you a simple shaped card with one of the newest dies from the March release.
The card features the new Like a Wildflower stamp set. I stamped the cute image with embossing ink and used gold embossing powder. I colored it with watercolor pencils, to give a subtle shade of color. This stamp set doesn´t have a coordinating die, but enjoy fussy cutting.
The card base is made with one of the dies from the Basic Die Cutting set 1. It´s the largest dome die. You can easily do that, just start with a top folded A2 card base, put the die over and slide it a little bit off the folded edge, that way the die will cut all but the fold, and secure it with tape. Run it to your diecutting machine a few times.
You´ll need an extra single dome shaped piece for the background. I didn´t have cardstock that matched with the scheme color, so I colored the background with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
I glued it onto the cardbase, trimming the little excess. I wanted a little detail for this card so I did a little hole in the dome part and put a gold eyelet and a piece of silk ribbon and tied it with a black and white twine bow.
To finish the card I added a heat embossed sentiment from the same stamp set that says "Wildflowers write their own stories" thinking of a good friend.
I hope you liked this card and encourages you to make your own shaped cards. I leave you below the list with the products I used in this card.
Thank you so much for stopping by and reading!
See you on my next post.
Silvana.
