Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Peachy Keen Stamps Fall Mini Release & Country Bumpkin Blog Hop! If you just came here from the Peachy Keen Blog, you’ve found the first stop – yay! If you just happened to stop by my blog, be sure to check out PKS first so you don’t miss out on all the info!
Peachy Keen Stamps just released some super cute Fall sets earlier this month – if you missed them, be sure to head back to the blog to see all the new sets! Our sweet friend and fellow designer, Lorie, also introduced her new line – Country Bumpkin Stamps – which will be exclusively available through Peachy Keen’s website!! YAY! Congratulations Lorie!!
This hop lasts three days (today – Wednesday) and some of our designers will have new projects posted all three days, so be sure to check the hop during that time. If you leave a comment, each of the designers will choose one lucky commenter to win a $15 gift certificate to Peachy Keen Stamps!! There are over TEN chances to win!
For my card today, I wanted to really make this adorable ear of corn stand out. To do just that, I stamped the multiple stalk corn image first from the Faceless Corn Set (this is easily becoming one of my FAVORITE PKS sets!!). I then inked up just the bottom stalk again and stamped it to create another stalk “growing” next to it.
After I had that stalk stamped, I went ahead and stamped the larger individual cob of corn on top to make it appear like it could be growing or at least popping out from the stalk itself. Because I was paper piecing, masking the stamp was not necessary. The paper covers up any overlapping lines.
Using dimensionals, I popped up the left leaf and the top triangle in his “hair” for a more 3-d look. What do you think?
Here is a list of everything I used to create this super simple (but FUN) card!
MATERIALS USED:
Cardstock: Rustic Cream {Papertrey Ink}, Kraft {stash}
Pattern paper: My Little Shoebox
Fiber: Honeydew and Cappuccino Baker’s Twine {The Twinery}
Stamps: Faceless Corn Set {Peachy Keen Stamps}
