I am back with another of the Country Home cards. I cannot get enough of these stamps. It reminds me that Fall is not far away. Although, the stamps in the set could be year round comfort type stamping. I like that better than “country” !
Tin Tiles Embossing Folder, 147906
I know you can not miss how AWESOME the Tin Tiles Dynamic Embossing Folder is!! Just WOW!!! I embossed the Galvanized Metal Paper with the Tin Tiles folder and it truly looks like the old, now back in style, tin tiles. This definitely takes center stage.
The gorgeous DSP is a reverse side of the Country Lane Designer Series Paper. I am growing more fond of the Blackberry Bliss every day. It is paired with the Gray Granite card stock to match the Tin. I stamped the milk can and flowers in the Gray Granite as well and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends.
Thank you for stopping by today for my 4th Country Home card. You can see the Monday – Wednesday ones by clicking on the Gallery Tab at the top of the page. I appreciate you checking my posts. I have listed all of the supplies used at the bottom of the page.
MEASUREMENTS:
Blackberry Bliss base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 folded in half
I have not totally gotten away from the awesome new stamp set Country Home. But….I have only used the sentiment today. This card is focusing on the absolutely fabulous Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper. Just Wow! And yes, I know I say that all the time. I would apologize, but it is so TRUE! This current catalog and the upcoming Holiday catalog are just full of gorgeous designer series paper. So here is today’s card.
Frosted Floral DSP, 147800
I know it does not show in the photograph, but the paper is pearlized and has a soft shimmer all over it. My first layout covered a lot of the DSP. I could not bring myself to do that! So I changed everything and only added a sentiment and some of the Copper Trim ribbon to complete the card.
Cajun Craze is not in the colors shown as part of the DSP, but I believe it compliments it beautifully. I used the Nature Roots Framelit from the Rooted In Nature Bundle to create the leaf. There is a die cut and an impression die for this leaf in the set. I am still playing with the embossing mat to get the correct set up. For my first try I believe this one works well enough.
Thank you for visiting today! I have one more of the Country Home cards to show tomorrow. And who knows, I may find a final one for Friday. Stay tuned!!!
I have another Country Home stamp set card today. I really am loving this set. For today I combined Country Home with Love What You Do stamp set. I almost named the post Country Pitcher, LOL! The pitcher reminds me of the old blue metal dishes that were speckled and usually had a tad of rust on them. Am I dating myself? HaHa. Anyway, I turned it into a vase.
Country Home, 147678
Isn’t that Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper just beautiful? Stampin’ Up! continues to top themselves on the beauty of the DSP. This pack has each sheet with one side that is either pearly or copper. It is just “WOW!!
Because I wanted a blue pitcher, I chose to focus on the blue of the DSP. My base card is Blueberry Bushel. I have used it before, but when I put it with this DSP it just seemed to brighten. My coloring is with the Stampin’ Blends. I love how they seem to blend themselves and do not leave lines. I am definitely not a great blender!
To finish off the card I knew it needed something but I did not want to cover up the DSP. So I added the Pearlized Doily. It sort of blended into the paper, so I backed it with a Blueberry circle. The sentiment is stamped and backed with Blackberry Bliss. I added just a single pearl to go with the pearlized paper and doily.
Thank you for visiting today! I very much appreciate it. I have a complete supply list at the bottom of the page. Also I have included the measurements just below. Thanks again and please stop back tomorrow.
MEASUREMENTS: (Sorry for the funky 16th of an inch measurements. I stamped and decided to cut it down and that’s where I ended up! Oops)
Card base is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 5 1/2 , folded and burnished
Oh My !! I knew as soon as I saw the Country Home stamp set that it had to come to my house. But actually playing with it is even better than I expected. And the milk can is my all time favorite. I have an old milk can that my Mother had probably 50 years ago. Another reason I love this set.
Country Home, 147678
I paired this sweet set with the Country Lane Designer Series Paper, as well as the Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder. I could not resist using the Cotton in the DSP to pair with the Cotton in the arrangement in the milk can.
A great bonus to his sweet stamp set is that it is photopolymer. This makes aligning images so easy. I was able to perfectly align the flowers on the top of the milk can. Easy Peasy!! I stamped everything in Smoky Slate Ink to have a softer outline. Coloring everything with the Stampin’ Blends is so easy. They leave no lines and you do not need to be a professional to blend them. I thought of dried cotton stems so I went over those with the light Crumb Cake Blend. I don’t believe you can tell from the photo but I used Wink of Stella on the white for the cotton.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will return tomorrow and see another Country Home card. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. Please do not forget about Bonus Days!!! If you place an order during August, you will receive a $5.00 coupon for every $50.00 you spend at one time.

I have another of the Sneak Peek cards of the Holiday Catalog. The stamp set Dashing Deer is a beauty. There have been deer in past holiday stamp sets so I am sure you are asking why this one is so special. When you see the imprint on the body you will understand. Plus the matching Thinlits are just a WOW.
Dashing Deer Bundle, 149935
I am so in love with the body of the deer! That bit of built in shading is just a WOW to me. Yes, I know there are not any blue deer . That was my creative license at work:)
The “Merry” is from another Holiday Catalog set Merry Christmas to All. It is full of gorgeous sentiments and matching Thinlits. You will see a lot of cards using that set in the near future as well.
I kept this card very plain to showcase the beautiful deer. The DSP is from Under The Mistletoe in the Annual Catalog. A tip for you is to purchase the Multi-purpose Adhesive sheets, if you have not already done so. It makes adhering the “Merry”, and any similar pieces, just as simple as peeling off the backing paper. I am so happy Stampin’ Up! carries this product now. I am not great with glue and this is just the easy way of adoring intricate pieces.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I greatly appreciate it and hope you will return on Monday to see what I have created.
Once again I was unable to grab the icons for my supply list. I am so sorry. I will update the post as soon as I get this figured out. Technology is not my friend sometimes!
