Country Livin’ stamp set

Obviously you can’t own everything in the catalogue (well, most of us can’t!), and no crafter enough has ‘enough’ stamp sets…

But every time I think I’m at a point where there can’t be too many more sets on the wishlist, I get swayed to just one more!

I borrowed the Country Living’ stamp set from a friend so I could use the old truck for a card I had in mind.

And found that I *needed* to own this stamp set. Just three stamps… but so many uses! And a great option in your stash for male cards.

Here’s 2 cards I made with the truck…

A Fold Out Card

And a “Behind the Trees” card…

(the best instructions I’ve found for this type of card are on Ann’s blog – click here)

Can’t wait for my set to arrive so I can make more Country Livin’ cards. After all, I am a ‘country’ girl now!

Morning! Officially it’s spring here in Bunbury, Western Australia – but someone forgot to tell the weather man! So, instead of bright and sunny, it’s overcast and a little soggy!

Not to worry, stamping & blog hopping doesn’t need perfect weather and in fact, it’s nice and cosy at the craft table!!!

Snuggle up, and come around the world as we visit international blogs in search of inspiration for today’s feature stamp set – Timeless Textures!

Timeless Textures Clear-Mount Stamp Set

It’s a set with unlimited possiblities and I can’t wait to see what everyone has come up with.

During the week, I’d decided that I was going to use the stamps to form a repetitive background sequence in clear embossing.

I’d only intended to make a couple, but as I started matching the background pieces with other stamps in my collection, it was fun to keep going!

All in all, I made 5 cards in this style. Here’s the backgrounds…

And here’s the cards…

Block of Dots + Seaside Shore

Circles + Fairy Celebration

Random Dots + Lots of Love

Fleur de Lis + Mixed Drinks

Woodgrain + Country Livin’

I’m undecided if they need sentiments or if they say enough as they are!

What do you think???

Any favourites??? For me it’s never the planned cards but always the afterthoughts that I fall in love with. I love the cowboy boots!!!

Thanks for hopping with me!

Next stop on the inspiration trail is Shana Gaff and her timeless creations!
