2019-2020 Annual Catalog

Well – good morning!  We’re T-1 and counting!

I sort of have the laundry done.  I mostly have cards ready.  I might have pared my luggage down to one ball-gown and three tiaras….

Man, it’s hard.  It’s so much easier to just throw one or five of everything in the suitcase(s) and then pick and choose once you get there!

But – I have resolved to go at least a little lighter.

So – I’m really going to get strict with myself.  Obviously the DIAMOND tiara will make the cut – Diamonds go with everything!

I have a “one-of-my-favorite” cards today for you.  It uses the new Rustic Retreat stamp set and some other fun goodies (most of which you’ve seen before).  Take a look-see:

This one was quick to make- so hang tight! 🙂

I started by embossing a piece of Crumb Cake card stock in the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and then matting it on Mossy Meadow for the card front.

Next up, I embossed another piece of Mossy Meadow – this time in the Corrugated embossing folder.  I tore it sort of ragged-ed-ly down to size and adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.  Then I added some decorative staples in the corners (using a non-SU! handheld stapler!).

I cut two lengths of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon and used more SNAIL to adhere them to the Corrugated panel.

For the sentiment, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment from Rustic Retreat on a piece of Crumb Cake card stock.  Over the top, in stamped-off-once Mossy Meadow, I stamped the branches from Rustic Retreat a few times.  Then I cut it with a Stitched Nested Label Die.

I popped the sentiment onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

With Glue Dots, I adhered a Bird Ballad Trinket (one of the leaves), tucking it under the sentiment.  Then I tied a double-length bow from Mossy Meadow Linen Thread (in the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Pack) and adhered it with a Glue Dot.  And that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I added the sentiment from Rustic Retreat in Early Espresso to a Crumb Cake mat.  Over the top, I added a line of pine trees in stamped-off-twice Mossy Meadow.

I used Liquid Glue (and a few decorative staples!) to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and then into my Early Espresso card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got Mossy Meadow branches across the front…

…and the line of pine trees on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Not gonna fib-ya, folks – I LOVE how this card turned out!  Torn edges – crooked panels – woodsy accents from the Rustic Retreat stamp set.  Yep – this is smack in the dead-center of my wheelhouse.  I hope you like!
