Stamp Review Crew: Wetlands

Hello everyone! It's that time of the month where the members of The Stamp Review Crew have a blog hop featuring a stamp set from the current Stampin' Up! catalog! We do this twice a month on the first and third Monday. I always look forward to this hop! I am actually the first stop on this hop! This month we are featuring the Wetlands stamp set! I love this set! I actually don't own it... yet. But my wonderful friend Emily let me borrow hers for this hop. Thanks, Emily!

I made a very easy and masculine card for this hop! And I really like how it turned out!

• Card base is Crumb Cake
• Ink up the Hardwood stamp with Crumb Cake ink and lightly stamp onto the card base
• Use the scallop edge punch to scallop the edge of a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock and adhere to card
• Stamp the goose image from Wetlands onto a piece of Naturals Ivory with black StazOn and color with a blender pen and inks- Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Garden Green and Crushed Curry (I also used the white gel pen for the ring on his neck)
• Tie some linen thread through a Basic Metal Button and wrap around the stamped panel
• Flag the bottom of the stamped panel and adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp the greeting in Chocolate Chip onto card base

There you have it! Click on the button below to go to the next blog - the wonderful and talented, Lisa - on the hop to see more beautiful creations using this set! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Wetlands Birthday

Good morning, Friends! Well, my son is home again today :( His allergies are still really bad. He has had quite a time with them since Sunday. I do hope he gets better soon!! I hate it when he's sick but I hate it more when he falls behind in school! And Thursday is Parent/Teacher conferences. He only has 6 more weeks of school. Hopefully today he will start to feel much better…

For today's card I borrowed a set from my friend Emily. I only made two cards with it but it is a really great set! I love it! And I may have to put it on my next order! This card didn't turn out quite like I had planned but it will work.

• Card base is Crumb Cake
• On a piece of Naturals Ivory, stamp the wheat stalk from Wetlands in Crushed Curry
• On a scrap piece of Naturals Ivory, stamp the goose in black StazOn and color him with a blender pen and Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke and Crushed Curry markers(I also used a white chalk marker for the spot on his neck)
• Cut out the goose and grass and adhere to panel with dimensionals
• Adhere this panel to a piece of Chocolate Chip
• Wrap some linen thread around panel three times and then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Use the Decorative Label punch to punch the shape from Chocolate Chip and adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp the greeting in black StazOn onto Naturals Ivory and punch out with the oval punch then adhere to label

I thought it made for a great masculine card! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
