The card using a sentiment from Painted Harvest was for a recent swap I did with a theme of “Manly Man”. It is CASED from a card by Jackie Bolhuis, who is an amazing stamper you can find at KlompenStampers.com.

For my version, I decided to add a button. And the button seemed plain for a swap, so I layered it with a Corrugated Element and the Nature’s Twine in Crumb Cake.  And I still wasn’t happy with the amount of “stuff” I had on the card, so I punched out a couple of sprigs and added them to set off the sentiment.  Hopefully, that still qualifies this card as “manly man”!

Products Used For This Card

Here’s a simple little card using a very sweet set from the Holiday Occasions catalog, Many Blessings.  The artwork is simple with a variety of designs you can use for Thanksgiving, Christmas and into spring.  The card set was inspired by one of Stampin’ Up’s! Million Dollar Achievers, Ruth Snyder.

I wanted a rustic look, so I choose a Wood Textures DSP as the background.  And I wanted a color scheme of Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow for my colors. I found the perfect DSP for the background strip in the Nature’s Poem DSP.  Click on the color names to see the inks, paper and color tools available in that color.

Color Story For This Card

Mossy Meadow

Cajun Craze

The Burlap trim is just a length of Striped Burlap Trim cut in half and used along the edges of the layered strip. A bow of Braided Linen accented the sentiment. I still wanted something else, so I colored pearls using Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Because the stamp set is so darling, I just tried to kee it sweet!

I recently did a swap with a group of Demonstrators who meet each month and have a great night out with dinner, business talk and of course, swaps!  Our swap this month was using the Country Home stamp set.

The background  paper is one of my favorites in the Country Lane DSP.  It reminds me of the type wallpaper you would see in an old farmhouse. One of the things I like most about the paper is the color story of Crushed Curry with Blackberry Bliss.  Click on the color names below to see all the products available in those colors.

The rest of the card I kept simple with an oval die cut of the tin milk can floral arrangement, a strip of the Chicken Wire element and a Galvanized button with a little bit of linen thread. It was fast and easy to create! Perfect for a Thanksgiving card.
