Tutorial: A Bit of Country Charm Card

 

A few years ago Fixer Upper starring Chip and Joanna Gaines swept the nation and everything farmhouse was suddenly -- and still is -- in.  I must admit I've loved "country" and "farmhouse" long before Chip and Joanna hit the home improvement scene.  I think it was because of my roots.  My parents both lived on farms when they were young and I still have fond memories of visiting the farm houses of my relatives.  I'm so glad Stampin' Up!  jumped on the bandwagon with the Country Home Stamp Set.  Today's tutorial features this stamp set which can be found in the Holiday Catalog, along with the fun Chicken Wire Elements.

 

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock to measure 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” and score at  4-1/4.  Set aside.
2. Emboss a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Whisper White card stock with the Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder.
3. Adhere a 2” x 5” piece of Woodgrain Designer Series Paper and a 2” x 4-1/2” piece of Share What You Love Designer Series Paper to the embossed piece.  Adhere to the front of the card.
4. Adhere a 1-3/4” piece of Chicken Wire Elements to the front of the card.
5. Stamp the pail from the Country Home Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Whisper White circle cut out with the Stitched Shapes Thinlits Dies. Color with Watercolor Pencils or Stampin’ Blends.  Adhere to front of card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
6. Stamp the flowers from the Country Home Stamp Set on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock and color. Cut out using scissors and adhere to top of pail.  Add a little Wink of Stella to the cotton branches.
