AUGUST STAMP CLASS

COUNTRY-BORN

We will be using the stamp set Country-Born D1543 on pg.59 ($17.95) of the Close to My Heart Annual Inspirations catalog.

I love the sayings and the wonderful stamp images of this set!!  It can be used for so many different cards.  The following cards are what we will be making for our August 16th stamp class.

I used this pretty Ice Green paper from my stash and stamped the tree and saying image with our Exclusive Ink Topiary (Z2155).  It's a simple note card.

For this card, I used an older paper pack called Dakota.  I stamped both the image and saying using our Exclusive Ink Barn Red (Z2104).  

This card was fun and simple to make.  I used our Colonial White (1388) and Chocolate (X5643) cardstock. We will be using a piercing tool to make the frame around the horses.

This is one of my favorite cards.  It says "country & simple" to me.  I used our Colonial White (X5643) cardstock for this card.  The image is stamped with our Exclusive Ink Cocoa (Z2114).  I used our new ShinHan Touch Twin Markers on this card (R11, Carmine, Y222, Golden Yellow and GY235 Sap Green).
