Country Livin'
I wanted to share another swap card from earlier this month. I'm so happy that this set isn't retiring. It is one of my favorites to use for quick masculine cards.

Thank you Lori for your awesome swap - the layers are perfect and really make these boots pop!

My Masculine Swap Card
Monday night was our Team Meeting and Swaps. This month the theme was Masculine Cards. They all came out really nice.
Here is my card for tonight and I'll show you some of the others in the next days.
Recipe:
Chocolate Chip (retiring) - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" x 4"
Crumb Cake 5" x 3 3/4"
Stamps:
Country Livin'
We Must Celebrate
Ink:
Early Espresso
I started by stamping the boots on the Crumb Cake as shown below and then used my Stampin' Blends Crumb Cake to add a little color and shading. I also made a couple of them using a Blender Pen and ink from inside the cap. I decided I liked the Stampin' Blends best.
Then I stamped the guitars onto another piece of Crumb Cake and then used my Scan 'n Cut to cut them all out. Thank goodness for that wonderful creation!
A little tip on adding the Burlap Ribbon. I originally put it down with Tear n' Tape because that stuff sticks to anything... except a strip of Burlap! I added a large gluedot under the end and that held everything in place.
Thank you for looking in today.

Country Livin' Meets Brick Wall
I'm so excited for this upcoming weekend workshop. It will be at a completely different location at Linda's new house in Prescott. I've seen the house, but the others haven't and it is going to be so much fun, especially carpooling with a couple of the girls on the ride up. She's a couple of hours away, but it's a tad cooler there and a much better chance of RAIN, so I'm really excited!
Today's card is made with Country Livin' stamp set, yes, it's an old set, but I thought these boots would be great popped up in front of the new Embossing Paste, this time in Real Red. It was so easy to do, just like the video I shared with you last week. You can see the video on You Tube HERE or you can see the post HERE.
Recipe:
Crumb Cake - 11" x 4 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Wood Textures DSP - 4 1/4" x 1 1/2"
Real Red - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Crumb Cake - 3" x 3"
Soft Suede - scraps for stamping and cutting Boots and a strip for stamping "Happy Birthday"
Ink - Early Espresso
Stamps - Country Livin' and Sunshine Greetings
Burlap Ribbon - adhered with Tear and Tape

Happy Birthday Hubby
Today is the hubby's birthday. We both love old trucks and even though this is much older than the first one he had, I still made it the same color. I wish I could tell you the color, but I've recently discovered Chameleon Pens. There's not a lot of fading in this truck, but wait until you see it when I use them on some flowers. Oh So Pretty! I'm still hoping that someday Stampin' Up! will come back with some alcohol markers for blending, but for now, I'm in love with these.
Here's the recipe for the SU parts:
Very Vanilla - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Soft Suede - 5 1/4" x 4"
Very Vanilla - with the truck - 4 1/4" x 2 1/4"
Soft Suede - 4 3/8" x 2 3/8"
Very Vanilla - 4 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Stamps: Country Livin' and Happy Birthday Gorgeous
Ink: Soft Suede
I used the watercolor pencils for the tires, lights, can on the side and the grass.
Thank you for looking in today! We'll be off having his favorite breakfast at Ranch House Grille (which will qualify for lunch too!) and then to Outback Steakhouse for early dinner. He loves their burgers. I know, I know, it's a steakhouse, but he loves the burgers. It is his birthday after all. I love their wedge salad, so yummy with blue cheese and a balsamic reduction on a big wedge of a head of lettuce and of course steak!
Have a Blessed Sunday!

Wild About Flowers Retirement Card #2
This card was for Linda and I have to say, it was a big hit! I admit, I really love how it turned out. The coloring on the boots was SO SIMPLE using our new Watercolor Pencils (available January 4th). Oh my goodness, this was so easy and look how pretty and rustic they came out.
I stamped the boots from Country Livin' with Soft Suede and then using the Early Espresso watercolor pencil, I just colored where the shadowing lines are on the boot. Then gently using a Blender Pen smoothed out the pencil marks using a circular motion. Added a little more where I wanted it a little darker.
Next, stamp the boots again onto a post-it note and trim just around the top of the boot, leaving the rest of the post-it whole so that the stems/leaves stay "inside" the tops of the boots. The stems are stamped with Old Olive and the flowers with Real Red. The stems and flowers are from Wild About Flowers.
Recipe:
Soft Suede - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Pacific Point - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White 5" x 3 7/8"
Ink: Soft Suede, Old Olive, Real Red
Here is a peek at all three. Tomorrow I'll share the details on the last card you see at the bottom.
Happy New Year!
