Don't you like when a stamp set gives extra life?  Meaning, you can use for other occasions other than what they are meant for.  So even though my project features a New Bundle Called - Christmas Barn, I made an all occasion card.  

You can see the full bundle below (stamps & dies) but here are the Barn Dies... you get lots of great choices. 

Card Details:

• card base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Mossy Meadow card stock (CS)
• next layer is 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 Cajun Craze CS
  • DIE CUT the fence and sign post from this piece
  • the adhere the 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 to card front
• you will need a 3 x 4 piece of Basic White to stamp and die cut the barn, 3 trees and words for sign
  • barn stamped in Black Memento and colors with Blends
  • trees stamped in Garden Green ink
• die cut silo image on 2 x 3 piece of Real Red CS
• I used my Blending Brushes with Garden Green and Balmy Blue ink pads for sky and grass on a piece of Basic White that is 4 x 5-1/4.   I went light on the grass.  
• I stamped ground details with Garden Green ink but I stamped off first
• Build your scene and glue on all your pieces, using dimensionals for the top tree and sign

Hello!  It sure is hard to think about fall when it is so hot out and middle of summer.  But, it will be here soon enough.  

Don't forget, it is Sale-a-Bration time and you can earn Free Sale-a-Bration product from now until the end of August.  

Today I want to share the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.  It is full of deep, rich colors and patterns, and is great for many occasions.  My project is a highlight to two of my favorite patterns in the paper pack.

Card Details:

• Mossy Meadow card base standard 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
• Rustic Harvest DSP background layer 4 x 5-1/4
• Rustic Harvest DSP front (flower) layer 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 (adhered with Dimensional)
  
  • SEE DETAIL HIGHLIGHT BELOW
• Label die cut from Labels Aglow Dies
• Natural 1/2" Woven Ribbon (4" piece wrapped around DSP edges)
• Words stamped in Merry Merlot Ink and are from stamp set Nature's Prints 

DETAILED HIGHLIGHT:

So it may be hard to see... but I tried to capture what, in person, truly makes this a special card.  I used the New Pearlized Enamel Effects over some the edges of the flowers.  The Designer Series paper already provides the white edging to the flowers, but by adding some of the pearlized enamel, it gave the flowers a Pop and Shimmer.  The card is basic and simple as I really wanted to highlight the papers beauty.

It's Sale-a-Bration time!  And there are some cute Hippos to catch.  Even if you are not a hippo fan, these little guys (and ladies) are going to bring a smile to your face.  And let me tell you, the coordinating Hippo Dies will make you smile even more. 

Doesn't she look so sweet and innocent.  I named her Lucy.... she just looks like a Lucy.  Tee! Hee!  

• My background is from the Black & White Designs 12x12 Designer Series Paper
• A little bit of Bermuda Bay with the Hippo Die flowers
• Tahitian Tide Metallic ribbon adds some shimmer and gives her a hair bow
• And I added some of the Festive Pearls to the flower centers.

• I used my Free SAB item (Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelops) as my card base
• On a piece of Basic White card stock, stamp flower outline with Black Memento Ink and stamp the filler flower with Soft Sea Foam and die cut. 
• Die cut the thin leaf die out of Vellum 
• Cut a strip of the Splendid Day DSP 1-1/2 x 4-1/4.  This is that gorgeous foil paper
• Lay down and adhere the vellum die cut behind the DSP, adhere DSP

• On a 1 x 3 piece of basic white, stamp sentiment and adhere to card
