Two days in one. I’m running out of days in December and have some other projects to share that aren’t from the Farmhouse Christmas suite. So today you get a two for one on the Farmhouse Christmas. These two cards were ideas from a demo friend of mine – Lorri Heiling. She has such creative ideas. In fact probably some of my other farmhouse projects were from her ideas too.
This first one uses the truck as the focal image. It’s stamped with Memento Black ink and colored in with the Stampin’ Blends. In the background is a piece of the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series paper and a piece of Crumb Cake card stock that was run through the Big Shot in the Corrugated Dynamic Embossing Folder. A tip when you run it through – be sure to send the spine of the folder through first. And all the Dynamic Embossing folders are extra thick so you use only ONE cutting plate and place it on the top of your folder. Don’t use a cutting plate on the bottom when making your sandwich.

The Stampin’ Blends really do blend the colors well together. I wanted Mossy Meadow which we don’t currently have in a Blends (but it’s coming) so I had to combine the Shaded Spruce and the Old Olive and blend those to get something close to what I wanted.
And here is the next one – this one is really cute!
The Designer Paper Squares in the back ground are cut with the little Stitched Square Framelit. This is a square card – 4-1/4″ square card – and yes I just use the regular medium sized envelope to send this card. You may wonder about where the little house comes from – we don’t have a little house die. But we do have the big house from the Farmhouse Framelits Dies. So here is the trick – go ahead and stamp the large house on Crumb Cake card stock and cut it out with the house framelit. Now pull out your Paper Snips and get ready to cut along the lines. First cut along the roof line on the left – and then along the wall on the left – leaving you with a tall skinny 2 story house. Then I cut along the top of the lower window. That left me with the little house – which I turned over to attach to this card – the stamping is on the back side now. I hope that makes sense!
