Congrats on Your New Roost

Both of my daughters have recently moved into new homes so I wanted to send them cards.  I knew that I wanted to use Papertrey's On the Farm set and this week's Color Throwdown (CTD209) worked with it just perfectly.                                                                                                                                  

 My first card is for my married daughter and her husband.  I stamped a background image from "On the Farm" in Summer Sun and then back it with Chocolate Chip and Old Olive. The rooster and hen are die cut with Really Rust and popped up on dimensionals.  The sentiment is stamped in Old Olive and then I hand cut each end to from the fishtail ends.

I was going to use the checked image from On the Farm but it was a tad too large so I grabbed the checks from a WPlus9 set called Country Charm which are just a bit smaller & stamped in Cherry Cobbler. The double lines (also from the Country Charm set) are in Chocolate Chip. I ran this Very Vanilla panel through my Cuttlebug using the PTI Linen Impression Plate. Then I used some Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress ink around the edge. I also used that same ink around the edge of the sentiment.  The image panel is popped up on dimensionals and some hemp is tied around the card.

My next card is for my daughter who is not married.  It is very similar to the first card except I used different background images. The barn is stamped in Really Rust, the sentiment is Chocolate Chip and the rooster is die cut from Chocolate Chip although it looks pretty black in the picture.

The rest is pretty much the same except that I embossed the image and the Really Rust panel with the Linen Impression plate. I don't know if you can see that in the pic.

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Farm Thanks

I needed a thank you card and since I have to send it off in the mail I have 2 posts today.    This card didn't turn out the way I started it and I'm not entirely happy with it. I have the chicken wire impression plate and I wanted to use it but I couldn't find my rubber mats so I feel the background is a bit blah.  Oh well.

It's pretty straight forward.  The rooster is popped up on a dimensional and the Many Thanks panel is also on dimensionals.

Here is the inside of the card.  I used parts of sentiments from two different stamp sets - SU's You're My Type set and PTI's On the Farm set.

Thanks for looking!

PTI On The Farm

Using more of my new PTI toys today - On The Farm.    I started off using the Cover Plate: Hexagon Die in the following Stampin'Up colors: Sahara Sand, Early Espresso, Close to Cocoa, So Saffron and Going Gray.  This was punched out of Sahara Sand and attached to a Sahara Sand card base. I got the color scheme from Design-Seeds.

Next I stamped a background stamp from On The Farm in So Saffron and attached it to a piece of Early Espresso.  I tied a piece of twine around the bottom of this panel, die cut the rooster out of Close to Cocoa and attached with a dimensional.  The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso and the little chicks are stamped in Close to Cocoa.  This whole panel is popped up dimensionals.  This was a fun card to make!
