Homegrown for SSITBTC #3


Hello!

It's Throw Back Thursday 
over at the Simply Stamp It Facebook Group.

As the creator of this challenge,
I give each challenge a "theme", sketch, 
or other launching point to help with inspiration.

This week, I suggested Travel/Vacation.
And, I knew exactly what I wanted to make
for my own submission for the challenge.

And then, I did something totally and completely different!
I need to be on the road in 2 hours 
and the project I have in mind is simply too time consuming.

So, I went off in a totally different direction.
My card is that direction :)
Well, I DO see farm stands in my travels ;)


Back when I first saw the Farmers Market DSP
in the new Annual Catalog,
I immediately thought of my (retired) Homegrown stamp set.
And, I even packed it for my summer travels.

I laid out my stamps on my block 
and stamped them on Whisper White with Stazon black.
Then, I came in and watercolored them 
in the colors I thought best resembled the images.

Rose Red for my Beets,
Cherry Cobbler for my Tomatoes,
Always Artichoke for my Artichokes ( no brainer, lol)
and Sahara Sand for what I decided was Garlic
but could be Onions too :)


I hope you enjoy my card 
and will come over to our Facebook group 
to share a project with us!


If you have this stamp set, 
and would like to create this project yourself,
you will find my shopping/supply list 
 at the bottom of this post.
Purchase all of your supplies in my Online Store
simply by clicking on the links below.

Now, I am off for a weekend of playing with my dogs!

Have a great weekend 
and Happy Stamping!

It's A *Clearance Rack* Stamp-a-Stack


Hello!

Have you ever sat down to stamp 
-with the purpose of using a particular product-
and watched your ideas blossom 
into something so exciting you can't wait to show somebody?

Well, I had that experience this morning.

See, a while back I bought the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack
I think I bought it off the retirement list at a discount or something...
Anyway,  I put it aside and didn't do anything with it.
Not because I didn't like it, I actually Love it!
I just didn't have a project in mind for it.

Fast forward and it pops up on the Clearance Rack for a steal!
I bought TWO more stacks of it!
Whoa!  Yes, I'm a "collector" and a Hoarder!

But, with 3 full stacks of it sitting here on my desk,
I told myself I was NOT going to Hoard it!
I was going to USE it!

And, I did... a little bit of it...

Today, I sat staring at my pretty stacks of Mooonlight DSP 
and said... time to use more of it!
Start thinking!

I had the Festival of Trees stamp set sitting out from Yesterday's post
and the Cheerful Tags stamp set was there too.
Well, one thing led to another...

Before I knew it,
I had FOUR completed cards 
and I LOVE every one of them!


Now, they are not your traditional (Christmas) Holiday colors...
but, I still love them!
And, each card uses only 1 half of one sheet of my lovely paper!

Yay!

The part I am super excited about 
is that you can purchase most of the supplies 
right now!
And save a bundle!!!

And, I am going to sweeten the deal even more for you!

Place an order of $25 or more 
Including items featured in these cards,
and I will send you the tutorials 
for creating each of the 4 cards shown here!
If your order reaches $50 or more, and is placed by July 31st,
You get to "Double-Dip"!
You will receive the Birthday Blossoms Card Tutorial
AND
my Moonlight Festival of Trees 
Stamp-a-Stack Tutorials!
