Clean and simple festive cards with Picket Fence Studios!

Hello there and happy monday!

Today I'm sharing a couple of clean and simple + easy to mail festive cards feat. Picket Fence Studios!

I didn't realize how many easy to mail cards I needed this Holiday Season and it seems like I always need to make more ( eheh!) so here are some soft and dreamy ones, with my fave simple design ever: lots of white background and just a little bit of Distress Ink ink blending to make my images pop and stand on.

First of all I created my card bases out of white cardstock, I masked the front panels at the bottom and inked the tops with some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink using my Life Changing Blender Brushes.

Then I stamped, colored and die cut all my images from these sets: On a Christmas Walk + coordinated dies and the Have a Wonderful Winter Day + coordinated dies ( please note: this is an older set and I wasn't able to find it in the shop unfortunately)

I glued all the images with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive to my cards, then added lots of details with a white gel pen to all my scene and stamped my sentiments at the bottoms.

"Happiness is.. " a lovely card with Picket Fence Studios!

Happy saturday darlings!

Today is a really special day cause I'm finally sharing a lovely card I made with all Picket Fence Studios goodies.. grab a cup of hot chocolate and keep on reading! 

Awww I'm totally in love with this! 

I usually make standard size, even smaller cards, but for this one I went for a long design and I'm so happy I did!

First of all I created my cardbase out of white cardstock and I also cut out a thin stripe to create a snow bank for my cute reindeers to stand on.

 

I stamped, colored with my copics and die cut these adorable critters from the On a Christmas Walk set and also die cut my "Lovely" word out of some white cardstock and some silver glittered paper by Lawn Fawn.

I inked the front of my card with Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress inks using my Life Changing Blender Brushes, I let it dry completely and I added some white + sparkle watercolor sparkles. 

I glued my white stripe down at the bottom and my "lovely" with liquid glued, then added the reindeers with some foam adhesive. 

Finally I stamped my sentiment and added some Nuvo White Drops as embellishments.

"Santa's Sleigh Ride" card with Picket Fence!

Hi darlings! 

Here's a Picket Fence Studios project.. just for you!

Aww the Santa's Sleigh Ride set is my absolute favorite of all the Picket Fence studios products ( with the Life Changing Blender Brushes of course!!) so I found a little bit of time to play with it and create a sweet Christmas card.

First of all I die cut a Dotted Rectangle out of white cardstock and I masked the bottom to inked the top with Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress inks.

I let it dry and then I die cut it with the Starry Skies LF die 2 times: on the top left corner and the bottom right one + the little comet at the top.

Then I added some gold sparkle washi tape to finish up my sky and I stamped my sentiment right below. Isn't it the cutest and sweetest sentiment ever?! 

I found the washi tape at Tiger ( linked an alternative here below!), but you can easily cut out a thin stripe of gold sparkle cardstock by LF and the effect is amazing too! 

I glued down my panel to the matching white cardbase I previously made and I finally stamped, colored with my copics and die cut this cute little deer. I added some details with a white gel pen and I glued it down with foam adhesive.

Finally I added a little heart and my card is complete. 

Aww I love it so so much!!

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today!
