Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Jaimie’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Giving Thanks”. We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the small wheat image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Very Vanilla card front. I cut the bottom of the panel using the Basic Borders Dies. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man Designer Series Paper to the bottom front of a Very Vanilla Thick card base. I adhered the embossed panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the large wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the image our using the Wheat Dies. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the wheat image and tied a knot. I adhered the wheat to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 3 of the wheat dies from a panel of Distressed Gold Paper and adhered them under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the small wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Sahara Sand Ink. I cut the border die from the Wheat Dies from a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock. I adhered the border to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was definitely a hot one here. It’s supposed to cool down to the 90’s this week. How is it by all or you?

Today’s card I played with another new set that I just got last week. I thought I had ordered it with my 1st order and when I went to use it, I realized I forgot to order it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set and the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My colors are from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #479.

My design is from the Sunday Stamps X Marks The Spot Sketch Challenge #288.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Gingham Cottage DSP to a Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the smaller wheat image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the panel using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink and the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the splatter image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, multiple times around the sentiment. I cut the image and sentiment out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the 2 panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut 3 of the die cut wheat from the Wheat Dies from a panel of So Saffron cardstock. I adhered the die cut pieces to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a multiple loop bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the bottom of the wheat dies using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the smaller wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the side of the panel. I stamped the splatter image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in So Saffron Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, multiple times on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base.
