Ready for another challenge? After taking a month off, I'm back with another Throwback Thursday Challenge! This month we are revisiting the adorable "Pretty Patches" series and Country Charm.
The Pretty Patches stamp sets are adorable and affordable at only $6 each. Each set has an image and two sentiments, one can be used on the inside and one for the outside. The beginning stamper can quickly build up a supply of products for many different occasions by purchasing the Pretty Patches stamp sets.
Usually I would begin with the first card I made and make my way to the last, but because these are seasonal cards, I feel like I should begin with Pretty Patches: Apple!
All of my cards today feature the Love Showers Layers die as the focal point. I began this card by stamping the Ikat background on Kraft card stock. Next I die cut and inlaid a Nautical Navy Pinking Square. The apple was die cut and stamped with Cranberry Crush ink then adhered to the card with foam tape. I stamped the double line border in Nautical Navy ink on the top and bottom of the card base. I love the way that finishes off the card.
On this next card, I stepped up the design a bit by adding an extra layer. I stamped the tag again with the Borders & Backgrounds 1 stamp set, then just added the one border from Country Charm. I love how that grounds that stamped label.
And finally, this is my favorite of my cards today. I used the Country Charm stamp set to stamp my own plaid paper. It was so easy and just a great way to personalize your cards.
