RUSTIC CRATE

Here’s a fun new stamp set bundle from the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog called Rustic Crate!  I love that it is seasonal.  I used the “summer” image for today’s card.

 

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Garden Green was added on top.
• The 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Masterfully Made DSP was added down the right side.
• The Basic White cardstock was cut with the new Deckled Circles Die.  The greenery image was inked with Lemon Lime Twist Ink and added Garden Green Ink with a sponge dauber, then stamped on the Basic White circle.
• The crate was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Pecan Pie cardstock and cut with the Rustic Crate Dies.  It was added under the greenery with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the bottom of the circle trimmed off under it.
• Hello from Rustic Crate Dies was cut from Garden Green cardstock and adhered to the circle.
• A trio of Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins were added to the background and circle for a little bling!  Love these!
