Hello! I finally had a chance to stamp for What Will You Stamp. This week we are featuring Country Home. I’ve had a few opportunities to play with this set and it’s good one. Fun to stamp, easy to color and cut out.
While I had time to stamp I did not have much time to blog so this post is short and sweet. Kind of nice. Today I am packing for Orlando!
Now, off you go. Check out what the WWYS team has created using this set. Want to play along with us? Tag your projects #wwys193 . Happy Stamping
The Artisan Design Team is back again to share projects using the Country Home Stamp set. This is a beautiful stamp set perfect for fall. I’m sharing two projects today
My first card uses Stampin’ Blends to color the stamped images from Country Home. This card also features the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions folder and Champagne Shimmer paint.
I’m really digging Shimmer paint. I find you can make a little go a long way when you dilute with rubbing alcohol. I added the diluted Champagne Shimmer paint directly to the embossed Pool Party card stock with a sponge dauber in a circular motion. The paper soaks up the paint quickly but also dries quickly.
I paired the pitcher image with the cattails flower arrangement image. After stamping and coloring I hand cut out using a hobby blade. I wanted to get a super close trim on this image and a hobby blade allowed me to get into the nooks and crannies of the leaves. I outlined the cut out image with a black Stampin’ Blend to finish off the look.
This next card features the cattails image colored with Stampin’ Blends. I stamped two the images back to back to create a floral swag and trimmed out. The greeting has been stamped in black ink and die cut using an oval from the Stitched Shape framelit dies. The outside edge of the oval and the perimeter of the card has been painted with Champagne Shimmer paint using a sponge dauber.
Have you had a chance to play with, or check out, the Take Your Pick tool? This multipurpose pickup and precision tool simplifies meticulous tasks. There is a tacky putty end to easily pick up sequins, paper accents, and other small objects; twist to dispense more putty. The other end has 2 changeable, double-ended tips with paper piercer, mini spatula, small stylus, and large stylus. I find the putty end indispensable and have been using it non stop to place small embellishments. It’s so easy to use! Refiles are available for the putty end. The tool retails for $10.00 USD. The two-pack refill retails for $3.50 USD. A list of additional project supplies can be found at the end of this post.

Two birds one stone … I was so busy this week that I was having a hard time working and keeping up my crafting obligations. It’s rare when this happens so I had to get a little creative. My card today incorporates two of my favorite assignments, Stamp Review Crew and Global Design Project. YAY!
This edition of the Stamp Review Crew features the stamp set Country Home. This set is available now in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini catalog. Bird #1.
Bird #2 - This card also serves as my project for this week’s Global Design Project challenge. This wee we are CASE this card from the amazing Kerstin Kreis from Scraparound.
My card plays off the all white embossed base and the basic template with a floral image off the the left side. I also pulled in a little flag banner in white, similar to the case card. Want to play along? Check out the Global Design Project blog for more information and inspiration. #GDP156
The Country Home Stamp set has a variety of LARGE verses that will work for fall and occasions where you might need a ‘thanks’ card. The set also includes a milk jug and a watering can with mix and match flower arrangements. This card features the milk just and the cotton flower arrangement. I’ve colored the images using Stampin’ Blends.
The design in the card background was created using the super cool Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder. I accented each little repeating circle with pearls.
Real quick - The Stamp Review Crew is an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together to do a blog hop on the first and third Monday of each month. For each hop we chose a single stamp set to feature. Next up on this edition of the SRC hop is Betty. Thanks for stopping.
FYI - We have a blog with all of the SRC hops archived. Click here to see all of the hops! Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love hearing from you!
