Hello, friends and happy Saturday!! I hope you have some fun plans for the weekend!!

It’s release day for the Picket Fence Studios October Release!! There’s a fun and inspiring hop happening over on IG…I’ll pop a link to my account at the bottom of this post so you can join in the fun and possibly win a $75 GC to the Picket Fence Studios Shop!!

I have two cards to share with you today!! My first card features the Sweet Holiday Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies designed by Kelly Taylor!!

I started by stamping the Sweet Holiday Stamp Set onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink. I colored it with Copics, added highlights with a white gel pen, then used the Coordinating Die to cut it out. The sentiment is from the same set. It was white heat embossed onto black cardstock then cut out with the Coordinating Dies. I die-cut the cupcake die from a foam adhesive panel and adhered it to the back of the colored die-cut, for dimension.

For the background, I clear heat embossed the Christmas Wishes Background Stamp onto pink cardstock, then blended a darker pink ink around the outside. I added Ocean Poppy Paper Glaze through the Inner Glow A2 Stencil with a palette knife and set it aside to dry. Once it was dry, I trimmed the panel down and adhered it to an A2 panel of aqua cardstock. I splattered it with a bit of Liquid White Snowflake Watercolor Splatter. The cupcake was adhered to the center of the card and the sentiment was adhered with a combination of foam tape and liquid glue.

The Nostalgic Times Sequin Plus Mix was contained the perfect color of sequins to finish off the card.

My second card features the Snowone Else Like You Stamps & Coordinating Dies. This set was part of a previous kit, but now is available to purchase separately.

The adorable snowman from the Snowone Else Like You Set was stamped onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink. I colored him with Copics and used the Coordinating Die to cut him out. A white gel pen was used to add highlights.

For the background on this one, I foiled a panel from the Snowflake Blizzard Fabulous Foil Toner Card Front Pack with Turquoise Blue Star Burst Foil. I added a bit of shading with Distress Oxide Ink around the outside of the panel, then trimmed it down and adhered it to a panel of red cardstock. The snowman was adhered with liquid glue.

The sentiment, also from the Snowone Else Like You Stamp Set, was white heat embossed onto black cardstock and cut out with the Coordinating Die. It was popped up with foam tape. Liquid White Snowflake Watercolor Splatter was splattered on for the snow. Lastly, sequins from the Nostalgic Times Sequins Plus Mix finish this one off.

That’ll do it for me today!! Hop on over and join in the festivities on Instagram @mypapercutcreations. Be sure to check out the entire fabulous new release over in the Picket Fence Shop!!
