Hello Friends, yes I am back with another card today! 2 posts in one day... feast or famine around here, lol!
This time I’m excited to share this sweet friendship card I made using some of the fabulous products from the new Picket Fence Studios October 2024 Release! This card is also part of an Instagram hop, where TWO lucky winners will be chosen! One winner will receive a $50 Gift Card, and the other will win a Paper Pouncers Bundle! 🎁
It was a joy combining these new and older items to create a heartfelt “hello, my friend” card, perfect for sending love and connection to a dear friend.
CARD RECIPE
Quilted Heart Frame - Beyond Basics A2 Rectangle and Cover Plate Dies
My Friend Dies - Cheers My Friend Word Die Set
Hello - Hello To You Word Die Set
Stamped Cuties - Baby Critters Stamps and Dies
Largest background panel -Yellow Primerose Paper Glaze
Second Panel - Huckleberry Paper Glaze
Bling - Thunderstorm Gems
Card Details:
Heart Cover Plate Background:
To start, I used the Beyond Basics A2 Rectangle and Cover Plate Dies, choosing the heart cover plate layer for the background. The delicate, repeated heart pattern adds a whimsical and heartwarming touch to the card. For a pop of color, I die-cut this layer in white cardstock and backed it with a beautiful blue panel created with Huckleberry Paper Glaze. This contrast of blue with white really highlights the hearts!
The sweet little critters are from the Baby Critters Stamps and Dies set (an older Picket Fence Studios product). I stamped and colored these cuties, giving them soft, warm tones with Copic markers to add extra cuteness. I adhered them to the card with foam adhesive for dimension, placing them above the sentiment. To make the critters even more lovable, I added a tiny pink heart die-cut between them, fitting perfectly into one of the heart openings from the cover plate.
Lovely Sentiment Layers:
For the sentiment, I used two different die sets to create a layered greeting. The bold "hello" is from the Hello To You Word Die Set (older product), cut in black and adhered to a layer of vellum for softness. Below that, I added "my friend" using the Cheers My Friend Word Die Set from this new release. The combination of these two word dies makes for a friendly and inviting sentiment that anchors the card.

For the base layer, I used Yellow Primerose Paper Glaze, which brings in a soft, glowing yellow hue. It gives a cheerful, sunny vibe to the card and plays nicely with the Huckleberry Paper Glaze. I love how the paper glazes create a smooth and polished look while offering rich, bold color.
Sparkling Finishing Touches:
No card is complete without a little sparkle! I used Thunderstorm Gems scattered around the cover plate layer to add a bit of shine and bling. These gems catch the light beautifully, enhancing the overall card design without overpowering the sentiment or critters.
