Home to Roost

Comments: 0

As we’re winding down on the last few days of sale-a-bration, I thought I’d share a card designed by my friend Brandi Barnard.  It features the Home to Roost Sale-a-bration stamp set which you can choose for free with a $50 purchase.

This card is such an easy card, you can create a bunch to have on hand for anytime you want to send a quick note.  It starts with a Poppy Parade card base with a piece of Bermuda Bay attached to the lower edge and some of the Black & white gingham print fro the Sale-a-bration Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper.  Next is some of the Braided Linen Trim to add a bit more of the country look.  The rooster is stamped in Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock then colored in with Stampin’ Blends; Dark Smoky Slate, Dark Cajun Craze, Dark Mango Melody, Dark Poppy Parade, Dark Bermuda Bay and Light Crumb Cake.

Painted Seasons Succulents

I’ve got another card I created that uses the Painted Seasons stamp set, coordinating Painted Seasons Designer Series paper and the coordinating Four Seasons Framelits.  If you’ve been in the stores at all over the last year or so, you’ve probably notices that succulent plants are everywhere these days.  You’ll find them on clothing, in home decor, in prints…literally everywhere.  So, why not feature it on a greeting card?!

I started with a card base of Pool Party that measures 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2.  The Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper was cut  3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ and attached to the center of the card front with Snail Adhesive.  Next I used the largest and 4th largest of the Stitched Rectangle Framelits to cut out the “frame: from Whisper White cardstock, then I ran it through the Big Shot with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder.  The was attached to the front of the card with lots of Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the “Incredible Like You” stamp set in Pool Party on a Whisper White banner that measures 1″ x 3-1/4″ and attached it with Dimensionals.  The succulents were stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and again in Pool Party and the leaves were stamped in Lemon Lime twist, then all of these were cut out using the Four Seasons Framelits and attached with Dimensionals.  The finishing touch was the pearls I added to the banner and succulents.

The Painted Seasons stamp set, Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper and the Four Seasons Framelits are only available until March 31st, so time is running out if you want to get your hands on these pretties.

Finally, the snow is nearly all gone, the weather is getting warmer, birds are starting to come back again, and now I go and post a Christmas card!!!!  What?!  Okay, I know this is crazy to post a Christmas card this time of year, but I just had to show you how pretty one of the prints from the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper is.

Here’s another card using the same colors and products and layout.  My sister Peggy gave me this card, and since I loved everything about it, I thought I’d just switch out the stamps and recreate it.  So, what do you think?
