Here is the last in my Stampin Up countryside stamp set series – I have loved working with this stamp set, and it will be afavourite choice when I have to make those mens cards. I have used the truck image here and stamped it in Cherry cobbler ink onto very vanilla cardstock ( everything used here today is stampin up except for the button). Other cardstock used is cherry cobbler and soft sude. I embossed the soft suede with my square lattice embossing folder. The sentiment is a stamp from the curly cute set, and I added a button and bit of linen thread to finish.I have spent most of today restoring some order to my craft room, I have been so busy the past month that everything was just everywhere, but now I can find things again it’s time for some serious crafting! Til tomorrow….

stampin up Country side number 5
For my fifth card in my Stampin Up countryside Series I used 2 of the stamps in the set, and stamped them with early Espresso ink. The card base is choc chip cardstock, and I also used crumbcake, very vanilla and close to cocoa( retired colour) all from Stampin Up. I used my woodgrain embossing folder, again inking it up before I embossed, to get that lovely shaded effect. A little linen thread, and this one was done! I have been making some boxes for my cards this afternoon, so now it’s off into the craft room to make some cards to put in them ! Til tomorrow….

Countryside number 3
For card number 3 in my Stampin Up Countryside stamp set series, I have used (all Stampin up) early espresso, very vanilla and crumbcake cardstock, and stamped the water pump in early espresso ink. I swiped my crumbcake ink pad over the woodgrain embossing folder before running the crumbcake cardstock through it.A bit of layering, piercing, some linen thread and a button, and it was a quick and easy card! The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp called happy birthday.I spent some time in the craft room today planning out my February lessons, all male cards for February!,but it’s time to break out the ribbon and bling tonight! Til tomorrow…..
Countryside number 2
For this second card I have stamped the water pump image with Stampin Up cajun craze ink, and distressed all edges. The little piece of patterned paper is from Stampin Up Well worn designer paper, and it’s mounted on River rock cardstock, which is also the card base. The background is Stampin Up early espresso cordinations, and I used my Sizzix tim holtz Bricked embossing folder and sanded it back.Thats it for today, til tomorrow….
countryside Number 1
helloo, and I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas. For my next few posts I am going to show some cards I have made using a new stamp set from Stampin Up called Countyside. It is my favourite stamp set for men and every time I get it out I think of more new ways of using it!For todays card I have stamped and coloured the truck image with prisma colour pencils ( I am still practising with these, but they are going to be a favourite way of colouring once I get the hang of them), and have stamped a couple of stamps from other sets on the sides of my card in black, then coloured the whole card with distress inks. The dies used in the foreground are Grassland border by Poppiestamps, and spellbindedrs wrought iron .The cardstock is Stampin Up old olive.I ahve been out of the craft room for the past few days, but will pop in there tonight to start working on Februarys class cards. Til tomorrow….
Secret Admirer number 4
Hi all, sorry I missed yesterday, but life got away from me and I ran out of time! Hopefully things settle a bit after Christmas! So today we are still using the same 12 x 12 sheet of paper from Kaisercraft Secret Admirer collection and the matching collectables, and here I have stamped my greeting on the centre of one, and arranged a few to the left of the card. Added some flowers ( kaisercraft) a punched butterfly, pearls and some gorgeously bright pink ribbon.I taught a small class today – too close to christmas for a lot of people – bought some beautiful do- crafts art deco die cuts and paper, and have spent a lovely afternoon creating – just what I needed! Til tomorrow….
