Howdy Pawd'ner - Mighty Kind of You

Good Morning Fellow Stampers -

 

And Happy Monday!!  :-)  How about a little Rootin' Tootin' Howdy to start your day right?!  LOL

Some fun to start your day with a design for the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge (PPA221) this week.  Thought this sketch might work nicely to showcase the new photopolymer set, Yees-Haw!  And what a Rootin' Tootin' fun set it is!

 

Doggone Delightful  Stampin' Design Tips:

• This card base is cut from Soft Suede cardstock, with insets cut from Crumb Cake cardstock.  The upper piece is cut 4" x 4" and the bottom piece is cut 1 1/4" x 4".  The inset pieces are matted with Moonlight DSP.  I had a ball creating this card! :-)  This set is just up my alley!  I love it!
  

• Hip to be Square.  These 4 images square up perfectly with each other :-)  They are inked in various mediums, including Hello Honey classic ink pad, Soft Suede ink pad for the hat, which was then colored in with the Crumb Cake Blendabilities, and a hat band done in Blackberry Bliss stampin' write marker, and Smokey Slate blendability horseshoes, with some silver sparkle dazzling details for some added sparkle and fun :-)  The sequins are from the 2014-2016 Sequin collection.  All those squares are popped up with dimensionals to give a nice feel of dimension to the card.
  

 

Every barbed wire fence should sparkle in the sunlight like this :-)

 

This fun photopolymer stamp set is a limited edition, guaranteed for only six months.  Get yours today -- and start rounding up the fun for all your cowboys and cowgirls :-)

 

I hope you have had fun with this design today :-)  And will head to your crafting table to have a little creative time for yourself.  Won't you let me know what you think?  Lookin' for a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator?  Well shucks pawd'ner -- I'd love to be yours :-)

Until Next Time . . .

The Farmer's Roadside Stand

Good Morning Fellow Stampers -

 

Happy Sunday!!  Hard to believe how fast this 3-day weekend has gone for me.  Very busy time of year it turns out :-)  My friend and I are going to escape to the beautiful Colorado mountains this morning and enjoy the beautiful turning Aspen trees.  It's supposed to be a beautiful Fall day in Colorado, and I'm looking forward to getting away for a few hours. 

 

In the meantime, I leave you to enjoy my Mojo Monday challenge (MOJO364) design :-)

When I started creating this design a couple days ago, I wasn't really sure where I was going with it.  I knew I wanted to "think outside the sketch" so to speak -- LOL.  And that I wanted to incorporate one of my favorite sets from last Fall -- the Truly Grateful set which can be found on page 152 of the Annual Catalog.  The final result has me quite pleased :-)  With the beautiful Fall days setting in, the cool nights, and so much of a beautiful harvest around us from our wonderful farms, I can't help think of the Farmer's markets, and Farmers Roadside Stands that you see all over the place this time of year.  I love the fresh produce our farmers bring in and love stopping to load up and bring it home.

So this card is a tribute to the Farmer's Roadside Stand -- the sheaves of golden wheat, the plump pumkins, and the leaves floating in the Fall breeze as it swirls around you in the lazy afternoon sunshine.

 

Doggone Delightful Stampin' Design Tips:

• This cardbase is cut from Very Vanilla cardstock, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  The inset is cut from So Saffron just 1/8" smaller, sponged with Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie inks, and embossed with a Darice embosing folder called Fall Leaves Swirl (a little contraband :-)  ).    

Technique Tip:  Always use a scoring tool to make lines. Don’t just fold by hand. This often results in buckling and wrinkling of the cardstock, depending on its “weight”. A great card deserves a great foundation on which to build.  Also, use a Bone Folder to create a crisp edge on all of your folds. But be careful…too much pressure can lead to unsightly “cracked” edges. 

Technique Tip: Did you know that there is a right and wrong side to your scored card base?  The “bump” formed by the scoring tool goes toward the inside of your card.  You’ll notice when you fold inward so the score bump is inside that you get a perfect professional-looking fold and card every single time!

 

Technique Tip: When you’re going to emboss a piece of cardstock, cut your cardstock just 1/16” of an inch bigger than the final measurement you desire; the reason?  When you emboss, your cardstock shrinks up a little, and you would rather come out right where you want, rather than be smaller/shorter than you first planned.  Give it a “test” – you’ll see what I mean.  You  may notice that I did not do that in this case (somewhat purposely), but it does mean that the piece is not exactly proportioned around the edges; if you are going for a vintagey antiqued look you can get away with this, but if you are wanting exact proportions, you need to compensate.

 

 

• A Festival of Pumpkins.  I'm loving our new Fall Fest stamp set with the matching Fun Fall framelits.  It just has so many fun images in it and so much versatility.  In this case I used several of the pumpkin images to create a trio of pumpkins with their leaves to sit in front of my "fence" created from the hardwood image in the Truly Grateful set.  A few pearls of course is always a must -- LOL!   The swirl of leaves is created using the framelit from the Fun Fall framelits and several colors of cardstock embossed with the Fancy Fan TIEF.  Lots of texture and fun to this design!

 

• Bringing in the Sheaves.  These sheaves of wheat are colored with a mixture of Baked Brown Sugar and Hello Honey ink to give them that beautiful earthy look.  How did I do that you say?  I used the Baby Wipe Technique -- which is so much fun!  And yes, those sheaves are "fussy cut" - painstakingly so -- LOL.  I do love the effect of a fussy-cut image.  My top sheaf is tied with a Linen Thread bow. 

• Dimension.  This card has all layers popped up except the base layer.  This makes for great dimension to this card and a wonderful 3D effect when you look at it.  It is such a fun card -- and as always, as many of my clients say when they see the designs in person -- the picture does not do it justice and it looks so much better when you're holding it in your hand :-) 
  

Do you love how this turned out as much as I do?  It makes me ready to head out to the farm country right now :-)  I'd love to hear your comments.  I hope you all have a lovely day and enjoy the beautiful weather.  Looking for a Stampin' Up! demonstrator?  I'd love to be yours :-)  As always, if you ever have any questions about my designs, I'm only an email away -   wendysbusystampin@yahoo.com.  It will be time soon for Cardmaking day, the October Pals Blog Hop, and SplitCoastStampers Creative Crew Design focus, so stay tuned.  There is a lot coming !

Until Next Time . . .
