I had requested from Stampin Up, several times, to please make some horse stamps so I was really happy to see the set, Let It Ride, when it appeared in the new Occasions catalog. I had enjoyed designing this card because usually I'm a "CASE'r" (copy and share everything) but this one was fun to come up with my own idea. Here's the details for this card.
The base is Early Espresso card stock cut at 8.5" x 5.5"
The first layer of Soft Suede is cut at 5 1/4" x 4" and then I used the Crackle Paint stamp set and inked it up in Early Espresso.
The next layer of Early Espresso is cut at 3" x 3"
The 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" piece of Sahara Sand has rounded corners.
The horse is colored in with Crumb Cake Stampin Blends and I outlined the mane with Basic Black.
The words are mounted on the smallest rectangle stitched dies. This piece sits on top of a die cut from the Stitched Labels die set in Early Espresso.
The last step I did was to take a piece of linen thread and wrap it like a lariat rope.
This stamp set is so beautiful. The impression it gives is just amazing. It's what they call the Distinctive look. This picture doesn't even do it justice. This stamp can be yours for FREE with a $100 order from the Sale A Bration catalog. In fact, you can't even buy it. It is one of the free stamps you can choose. Here's the details on how I made this card.
Poppy Parade card base is 5.5" x 8.5" and scored at 4 1/4"
I stamped the lily on a piece of shimmer white card stock that is 2" x 4.5". The stamp pads I used for that were Poppy Parade and Old Olive.
The Old Olive cardstock is 2 1/4" x 4 3/4"
I cut the doily in half and glued it under the Old Olive piece.
The stitched oval is the smallest one
I used Pear Pizzaz shimmer ribbon and wrapped it around the Old Olive card stock.
Hello Everyone from the snowy land of Iowa. Today is a good day to catch up on some blogging. This is what I woke up to this morning. Really can't complain. This is our first big snow.
I'll show you a few cards I've been working on lately. I'm having so much fun with the Stampin' Blends.
This one is done with the older style Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay.
Here is another using Lovely Lipstick, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody.
I really liked these striking colors together, Mango Melon and Granny Apple Green.
For this card, I used Balmy Blue, Highland Heather and threw in a dash of Granny Apple Green. These cards just go to show what you can do with just one stamp set and changing the colors and folders that you choose. They all look so different.
