Hello, everyone! It´s Silvana here. Welcome to PFS blog.
Today I´m sharing a slimline format card showing some last release´s products like The Happy Fern die, which I loved because it has the perfect size for various types of cards.
Let´s start by the background. You can achieve that woody look easily with the Slimline Against the Grain Cover Plate Die. The texture is amazing. Instead of using sequins, I made some splatters with the Paper Splatter Watercolor in Liquid Gold color to bring some pop of shine to the card. The frame was made with a die from the Scalloped Frames dies and I cut it three times: two in white cardstock and one in a light kraft color.
I played with some alcohol inks on yupo paper and then diecut the paper with the new Layering Flora: Happy Fern Die. I also cut a piece of vellum and put the two pieces in the front. The vellum gives an elegant look with the pattern and the colors of the alcohol inks.
To finish the card I heat embossed one of the stamps in the new Get well, Again over a black cardstock with gold embossing powder.
I hope you enjoyed my card and try your own version to give some comfort to someone ill.
See you in my next blog post.
Have a fantastic week.

Welcome, dear crafty friends, to my creative space!
As you know, crafting is not only a hobby for me but also a way to relax and let my creativity flow. Today, I am thrilled to share with you my latest project which is sure to transport you to a place of serenity and calm.
I present to you a handmade card that showcases a breathtakingly beautiful seascape, brought to life with the use of the Slimline Seashore cover plate die. This particular die has been designed with intricate details that capture the essence of the ocean, making it perfect for your beach-themed projects. I am excited to walk you through the process of creating this card so that you too can enjoy the therapeutic benefits that come with crafting. So, let's dive in and get started!
CARD RECIPE:
Slim Line Scene Building: Seashore Cover Plate Die
Summer Beach Friends Dear Stamp
Summer Beach Friends Dear Coordinating Die
Scene Building: Sand Stamp
I used die-cutting on white card stock with the Seashire slimline cover die, then added color with paper pouncers. A sand stamp complemented the seaside theme, and I stamped the sentiment with versa mark ink and heat embossed it with white powder. I heat set the sentiment for a long-lasting finish. It's rewarding to create something by hand, and this card is no exception!
That’s all for today.
I hope you enjoyed this post and give you inspiration.
Thank you so much for stopping by!

You deserved to be spoiled slimline shaker card
by Silvana Chambon Scarenzio on May 10 2023
Hello, everyone! It´s Silvana here and today I want to share with you a slimline shaker card featuring some products from PFS.
The new product here and the star in the card is the Oval fence Slim line diecutting system insert which cuts that lovely fence you can create a lot of scenes with.
The cute animals are from the Animal Crackers: You deserved to be spoiled stamp set. I used the coordinating die too. This set comes with a lot of small images to stamp and cut and I used them all to fill the shaker! The images are perfect for that. The sentiment is from that stamp set too.
For the shaker I also used The Sequin mix Iridescent Moonshine.
The clouds in the back ground were made with the Slimline Cloud Coverage stencil.
I loved how the card turned out! I hope you give it a try to this oval shaker.
Thanks for stop by and read.
See you in my next post.
Silvana.

Hello, everyone! it´s Silvana here from Casa Magnolia. Today I´m sharing a colorful and cheerful slimline card made with a lot of products from the last release but also some previously release.
I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock with the SlimLine Die cutting System which gives me the perfect measure for the card. Then, I made a blending combination with some Distress Oxide inks with the help of the amazing Life Changing Blender Brushes.
After the ink is set I used Paper Glaze Velvet in Winter snowfall color with the Slimline Christmas Tree Lot stencil
The polar bears and sentiment stamp come from the new A polar Bear Winter Celebration stamp set with the coordinating die.
Finally, the Christmas tree it´s from a previous release stamp set that is called A polar bear Christmas with its coordinating die.
I hope you like this slimline card!
See you in my next blog post.

Hello there, Michelle here!!! I'm sharing two cards with a throwback to some previously released stamps and dies...Penguins Wanna Have Fun Stamps and Coordinating Dies, and Glacier Scenery Stamps and Coordinating Dies.
It's no secret, I love the Mini Slim Line Double Stitched Rectangles Dies. I combined it with the stamp set More of the Best Hugs Ever.
For this card I used the tiny stamps from the stamp set Penguins Wanna Have Fun and created a fun background.
I colored the images with Copic Markers and added lots of stickles glitter glue.
Thanks for stopping by for a peek!

Hello there! Michelle here, sharing a mini slim line card using the new Grunge Foliage stamp set. I am sold on the mini slim line design and the Picket Fence Mini Slim Line Double Stitched Rectangles Die Cutting System is my absolute favorite go to!!!
I use my Misti to do all my stamping and it comes in very handy for the seamless stamps. After I stamped the background with Goddess Green Ink on 3 ink, I added some paint splatter to the kraft cardstock panel. When dried, I aasembled the panels to the card base. I propped up the layer between the green cardstock and black card base with Foam Tape. I embossed the perfect sentiment, Kindness Matters, from the stamp set Fancy Daily Sentiments and Coordinating Die with silver embossing powder.
Some finishing touches include Green Seas Sequin Mix and black twine.
Thanks so much for stopping by for a peek!!! Hope you have a great week!

Hello there fellow card makers! I am sharing another card created using products from the fabulous April release.
I used the new Rainbow Slim Line Insert die which is an addition to the Slim Line Cutting System to create this clean and simple shaker card. After cutting the opening from a sno cone stitched cardstock panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Word Topper Dies Subtitles. I created the shaker sandwich using the Extra Wide Foam Roll which is so easy to use since it has double sided adhesive. I filled the shaker space with the also new Day of Rainbows Sequin Mix. The three clouds stacked below the rainbow were cut using two dies from the Cloud Dies set.
I hope your day is full of rainbows!

Hello there, Lisa here with you today to share a mini slim line card featuring the beautiful Slim Line Rose Lines stencil. This stencil is so pretty, very delicate and intricate. I couldn't wait to ink it up!
I began by taking a panel of 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock and placing the stencil down over the top. I secured it from behind using low tack tape. Using Life Changing Blender Brushes, I blended Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks through the stencil. I used Seedless Preserves at both ends, followed by Picked Raspberry at both ends. Worn Lipstick is the central colour. I always repeat the blending several times to make sure I get a good transition of colour between each ink. Next, I die cut the panel using one of the scalloped dies from Mini Slim Line Stitched and Scalloped Rectangles.
Next I took the Love Ya word dies included in the same slim line die set and die cut them three times from 110lb Neenah Solar White cardstock. They were adhered together to form a small stack. I then adhered this stack onto my ink blended panel and this in turn was added onto a top folding horizontal base card. To finish the card I added some of the new Pink Bottlecap Flowers Sequins. It's a bit difficult to see them on the card but I have them arranged around the word die.
I really love this stencil and it also comes in a 6 x 6 version so you have lots of options for creating different sized cards with them. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great week!

Hello there! Michelle here, sharing a slimline Easter card using some beautiful stamps and dies from Picket Fence Studios newest release.
I stamped Vintage Easter Hodgepodge -part of the Seamless Stamps collection- 3 times using the Misti, which takes the guess work out of aligning stamps for repetition. I chose to do a no line coloring technique and used a beige ink on kraft cardstock. I colored the eggs with Prisma Colored Pencils in pastel shades than added some paint splatter with white paint. Allow to dry.
Next, I used Hoppin' Down the Bunny Trail and coordinating Die and followed the same no line coloring technique. I also used Hippity Hoppity to All Coordinating Die for the sentiment. I die cut the word with glitter cardstock and the shodow with white cardstock. I used the large slimline rectangle from Slim Line Die Cutting System and die cut the kraft cardstock panel. I die cut the scalloped panel using Slim Line Die Cutting System- Scallop Frames. I layered the panels, sentiment, and bunny ears onto the card base with Extra Wide Foam Adhesive Tape in white.I added some silver thread behind the sentiment and scattered some Sequin Mix- City of Lights.
That's all for me! Hope you enjoyed this post!
Have a great week!

Hello there! Lisa here with you today to share a fun retro slimline card featuring the new Misshapen Stitched Circle Dies. This is a really cool set of dies, and as soon as I saw them, I thought it would be fun to embrace the misshapenness (is that even a word?!) and create a card with a funky vibe.
So I picked out a palette of colours from my stash of cardstock that I thought would play well together and set about cutting them with the dies. You get eight dies to play with and I used them all for this card. The good thing is that I also have plenty left over for another card.
Next I cut a 3.25" x 8.25" Neenah Solar White 80lb panel using a rectangle die from the Slim Line Die Cutting System set and started arranging the circles across the card. It took me a while to settle on a final design but once I had, I then just adhered them down using wet adhesive and trimmed off the excess from the sides. This panel was then matted onto some black cardstock and then onto a side folding slimline note card.
To finish the card I took the Thank You sentiment stamp and stamped it onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I love how this pops against the other colours not only because it is black and white, but also because it is a large sentiment. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was then trimmed to size and added onto my panel using foam tape.
Aren't the misshapen circles fun? Lots of possibilities for these as you can use them with images and on their own. Cut out of Paper Glitz panels they would be great fun!
Don't forget that you can catch Nicole this evening (16th Feb) at 6.00 PM CT as she is doing a live over on the Picket Fence Community Facebook page. See you next time and happy crafting!

"Into The Woods" Slim Line Shaker Card with Rachelle
by Rachelle Oltean on Jan 24 2022
Hello! It's Rachelle here and I'm so excited to share this slim line shaker card I created by combining lots of different Picket Fence Studios' products!
This design came together pretty quickly with the help of a couple key products. First - the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die" Set and secondly, the NEW "Slim Line Woods Cover Plate Die" Set! I started by die cutting the woods die scene from heavy-weight white card stock and selectively trimming a few trees/branches from the image. I chose to edit this because I wanted a bit more space for the shaker garnish to be seen and to highlight the deer die cut. Once trimmed, I watercolored just the leaves in a bright green and the die cut was glued onto a piece of charcoal gray card stock. This is almost a reverse silhouette design and all of the components really pop off of that charcoal background!
I created a white frame by using the slim line rectangular insert from the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die" and a smaller rectangle from the "Slim Line Nested Rectangles Dies". This frame was cut twice and glued/stacked together and adhered on top of the woods panel. I die cut a piece of thin packaging acetate with the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die", adhered double-sided tape along three sides of the back of the woods panel and wrapped the acetate around to adhere it into place. I chose to use the NEW "Spring Green Shaker Garnish" as my fill (to match my green leaves) and carefully poured about a tablespoon into my shaker panel. Then all I had to do was to close up the remaining shaker flap on the backside with the double-sided tape and the panel was adhered to the front of a slim line card base.
I die cut the sentiment from brushed silver card stock using the "Mini Slim Line Double Stitched Rectangles Die Cutting System" and the running buck ("More Deer Family Dies") from gray card stock. Both of these die cuts were carefully adhered to the shaker acetate with liquid adhesive to finish up the design! I just love how that Spring Green Shaker Garnish easily moves inside the card front and works both as leaves and grass in this scene! I highly encourage you to try some of the NEW Shaker Garnish colors - they are so light weight and really add a unique shaker element especially when combined with Picket Fence Studios' Sequins/Sequins Mix Plus options!
Thanks so much for joining me today! Happy Crafting - Rachelle : )

Hello shaker card with Michelle
by Michelle Lupton on Dec 31 2021
While it is the last day of the year (and it's a year than many of us might want to forget), I prefer to look forward and say a bright, rainbow hello to the new year.
I used the Hello die insert along with the slimline double stitched rectangle die to create a shaker card. I decorated the shaker with the Lots of Blossoms stencil, Distress oxide inks and lots of the new Crystalline Diamonds.
Thanks for visiting :)

You Are Nothing Short Of Amazing
by Lisa Tilson on Sep 08 2021
Hello everyone, Lisa here today to share an Autumnal card with you, but with a very clean and simple vibe. For today's card I thought I would use one of the Slim Line Die Cutting System Inserts, but on an A2 card and also not as an insert! It's always good to find different ways to use the dies you have and these inserts can work really well not just as an insert but also as a standalone die. You can stack them up, which is sort of what I did for my card and I used the lovely Tree Scenery Insert.
Isn't that tree just so pretty? I began by creating my stripey background and for this I just cut some strips of red, yellow and orange cardstocks and adhered them onto a piece of printer paper that I had added some Stick It Adhesive to. I then used wet adhesive to glue the stripey panel onto a top folding A2 110lb white base card, trimming off any excess at the sides.
Next I took the Tree Scenery die and die cut it from 110lb Neenah Solar White cardstock. I then took a slightly larger circle die and cut it again to create the narrow circular frame. Now, here is the bit where I should have done things a bit differently. I added tiny bits of foam tape behind the tree and circle frame which was very fiddly and although it worked out alright, it wasn't as stable as I would have liked it to be.
What I should have done was cut 2 or 3 more trees the same way and then adhered them together to create a stack. That would definitely have been easier and would have been more stable. Having said that I do like that it has a less chunky/chipboard feel to it. Swings and roundabouts!
Before removing the paper from the tape and adding the tree onto the base card, I popped the card into the MISTI and took a sentiment from Nothing Short Of Amazing and stamped it using Black Hybrid Ink. I then removed the paper from the foam tape and adhered the tree down before embellishing it with a few gems from Autumn Leaves Gem Mix.
I do think that the card turned out looking really pretty. I always love the drama and contrast of a pretty die against a bright stripey background. I hope that this gives you some inspiration for your insert dies. Until next time, have a great day and happy crafting!
