ByCharlene

Creating summer magic with new stamps and dies from Picket Fence Studios!

Hi crafty friends! I’m excited to share the latest stamp and die collection from Picket Fence Studios. The April 2023 release is all about summer, and I can’t get enough of it. As the weather starts to warm up, I find myself daydreaming about spending time outdoors, soaking up the sun, and hanging out with friends and family.

This release perfectly captures that carefree and playful spirit of summer. I love how each stamp and die has its own unique personality, and I can’t wait to show you how I used them to create five stunning cards. From trips to the beach with my family, to fun gatherings with summer treats, this release has me counting down the days until summer.

To shop the new release in its entirety, head over to Picket Fence Studios. Happy crafting!

The Picket Fence Tweet Tweet Stamps and Oval Fence Slim Line Die were a perfect match for my first card. I used the 52 Layers of Clouds Stencil to create a pretty blue background and then added the birds and a few die cut flowers from the Pretty Flower Box Dies to complete the look.
