Foxy Friends - Racoon

Absolutely loving the Foxy Friends stamp set. This set makes so many cute animals and the tree stamps and the stump stamp are great for that finishing touch on a card. Of course, I didn't use them on this card. I used the Always an Adventure stamp set. I love the idea of this little guy crashing someone's camp site. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Swimming with the fishies.

It has been so hot here in Eastern Kentucky lately, swimming would be nice. I had so much fun making this background with the new Touches of Texture stamp set. I love the floral lace on this one. I think the fish in the Seaside Shore stamp set are just so cute. Lots of ways to use these two stamp sets. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

For Your Country

It's that time of year again. Stampin' Up! is retiring a lot of stamps and other product from their line to make way for the new goodies coming in the new catalog. I will miss this stamp set a lot. I really haven't used it much, but I am very sad to see it go.

I started with a piece of Old Olive cardstock (5 1/2 x 4 1/4) and stamped around the edges with Always Artichoke ink using the Times Textures Stamp Set. I used a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock (5 x 3 3/4). I used the boots, dog tags, and helmet to make the background using the stamp off method. The Always Artichoke is such a dark color I did 3 stamp offs before stamping on the cardstock. I used Always Artichoke with no stamp off for the focal image and the sentiment.

If you are interested in this stamp set, go to my online store and purchase it before it sells out. When a product hits the retirement list, it is as supplies last. Don't forget to stock up on cardstock. I have heard they are increasing the price in the new catalog.

Fall is in the air.

Lovely As A Tree has been in the Stampin' Up! catalog for many years. It has probably been the longest running stamp set they offer. The images cover all seasons. I love this set and it was one of my first purchases, but this is the first time I have used it. I belong to a Facebook group called Stampin Up Addicts. We buy, sell, and swap on the group. I love the swaps. I participated in the Halloween swap we did in August and it was so much fun. For the September swap, we did a Fall/Thanksgiving card. This time we had enough interest to do two groups. I signed up and sent my cards for the first group as soon as I could. The second group had a lot of interest, but some of the ladies dropped out or didn't send in their cards. When the call went out for more entries, I answered and created this card. I am sadly lacking in Thanksgiving/Fall sentiments and had to use a non Stampin Up! sentiment for this card. It is from Hampton Arts. This is one of my few watercolor attempts. This one turned out better than most. The colors I used are Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Real Red, and Chocolate Chip. The image was stamped on watercolor paper with Stazon Black. My card base is Bravo Burgundy.
