As I type up my post on Saturday, it’s raining!! Lovely, heavy rain filling up my water tanks!! Just the sort of rain we need. And of course, a rainy day makes for the perfect crafting day!
We are casing the Festive Farmhouse section, pages 12-17, of the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.
As you may have noticed, I love use Stampin’ Blends! And there are 6 new combo packs in the Holiday Catalogue. And yes, I already have them all!!
I was drawn to the sample on page 15 so that I can use my blends and the Joy & Noel stamp set!
Now don’t you just love the chicken wire elements in the background. Well, I don’t have it yet (but I think I might need to get it soon!) so I decided to use the Subtles Textured embossing folder instead.
I stamped the image twice and cut out one using the largest oval from the Stitched Shape framelits. I then coloured both with the Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Mango Meloday Stampin’ Blends (all are new colours). I then fussy cut out some of the leaves and flowers and popped them up using dimensionals. To make the word a little darker, I coloured with the basic black Stampin’ Blend.
I added Poppy Parade Textured Weave ribbon behind the sentiment oval and popped it up using dimensionals.
Next up is the lovely Julia.
Come and share your project with us over at our Facebook group.
Happy Stamping

Lovely card Rebecca and great colouring x
Thanks!
I love the pop your card has, Rebecca, from the simpler embossed background. The popped up elements really step it up, too.
Great CASE Bec, that ribbon really pops, I love it.
Thanks!
I like your choice of ribbon better with this and like the idea of turning the Tufted embossing folder inside out – looks great
Thanks!
Wow, your colouring is Amazing! I lve the intensity of colours and the ribbon detail.
Wow Bec, that’s such lovely colouring. You’re very clever, and that embossing folder looks fabulous with that layout
Thanks!!
