OSAT July Blog Hop Theme: Down On The Farm ~ Rick Adkins

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my projects for this month's One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop. Our theme this month was Down on The Farm. For my projects this month I used the Over the Moon and the This Little Piggy Stamp Sets. I could have used a number of sets from the Annual Catalog but I wanted to do something with a little humor and super cute. Here's a look at my projects.

My Card:

For my card I created a super fun scene using images from both stamp sets. I stamped the little pig with the flower first in Tuxedo Black Ink. I masked off the sentiment before inking up the stamp and stamping it down. I then created a mask using removable Labels from Avery. After masking off the the pig I stamped the cow where it looked as if the pig was dancing on the cow's back.

I then colored everything in with my Stampin' Blends. Once I had everything colored in I stamped the clouds and went back in with the color lifer and removed some of the color. I heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of the Brights designer series paper. I used the gingham pattern in Granny Apple Green. I also used this same pattern on the inside as well.

The Box:

The box that I created this month is a nice size about 2" x 6 1/4 x 6 1/4. I stamped the same pig and cow on the cardstock that I was going to use as the top. Once I had everything stamped I used the Denim Ribbon and wrapped around the box and tied it into a bow. I then stamped and created a tag and attached it with a little whisper white baker's twine. I have a video for you to see how I created the box.
