Country Home

Country Home was released last fall in the Holiday mini. It has many ideas on how to use it on Pinterest. I will add my three ideas to it as well! I had lots of fun working with this set and it is on my table again to use soon. (I'm still playing catch up with cards that I made last spring but never shared with you! I'm getting close to the end of that pile but not quite there!)

My colors are from my daughter, Abi, again. She really has a great eye for putting colors together and she stretches my ideas of color too. LOVE THAT!

She chose Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake for these cards. I did fussy cut the milk can and flowers. This layout would be great to make for some Christmas cards, although, fussy cutting for a bunch is not fun.


The Tin Tile embossing folder is a must have if you like the rustic look. I did hit the raised edges with a bit of Crumb Cake ink to highlight this folder a bit more. I know you can't see it but the cotton has Wink of Stella on it, so pretty!


Yep, I fussy cut again. I really don't mind the fussy cutting for just a couple of cards but to mass produce, I would be hesitant, although I have done it! 


So you can see that I used Lemon Lime Twist and the Hardwood background stamp on these cards. I am still mourning the loss of Lemon Lime Twist. It's such a fresh color. Granny Apple Green would make a fine substitute but not the same. I will also be keeping Hardwood in my arsenal for a while yet. I love this background! 

Happy Stampin'!

Let It Ride


Have you seen the stamp set Let It Ride? Horse lovers every where need to check this set out! It has some great horse images. You can see most of them here. 

I like the meadow look on this first card. I stamped the trees on the sides and the horses in the middle. I did water color the horses with Crumb Cake and an Aqua Painter. By sponging the edges of the panel and the circle with Gorgeous Grape ink, I have given them some dimension. Who doesn't like that Buffalo Check background stamp?!?


This stunning image is so realistic. I did use Hardwood for the background and that stamp is retired now. (I'm not sure it will leave my collection though. I love it!) You could run that panel through the Pine Planks Embossing Folder and hitting the high parts of the embossing with a bit of ink to highlight them.

The image was stamped on the whisper white card stock and then cut with the Stitched Rectangles dies. You can see the the tip of his nose and the end of his tail is just off the main panel. The center panel is on dimensionals.


My last card for this time with this set is pretty simple. The background is Crackle and the horse is watercolored. 


My niece has really gotten into horses lately. I sent her one of these guys and she really loved it. Now to mail another piece of happy mail to someone! 

Happy Stampin'!
