CARD: Blessings from the Barn Door Bundle Series – Part 1

January 29, 2018 by

CARD

I'm beginning a new series of ideas featuring the new Stampin Up Barn Door Bundle. Part 1 is a fun card created by Jessica Scott. It features the barn door over a brick wall made with Embossing Paste and the Pattern Party Decorative Mask. How do I make it? Mix emboss paste with Cherry Cobble ink refill and apply over Pattern Party Decorative Mask (See video below for directions). Stamp the barn door and sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink. Stamp the sign in Early Espresso ink on Bermuda Bay card stock and trim out. Stamp and cut the Barn Door from Sahara Sand using the Sliding Door dies. Assembly: Assemble the card with Snail Adhesive, using Dimensionals on the door and Mini Glue Dots on the hardware.

This little hedgehog card from the Stampin Up Hedgehugs stamp set is so stinkin' cute I can't stand it. I love him sitting on this little Myths & Magic Specialty DSP collection. The "grass" was created by stamping the Burlap stamp in Old Olive ink on Old Olive card stock, then cutting a wave in the top to give the effect of hills. The words were cut with the Stitched Shapes dies.
