Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created projects where “It’s the Sentiment that Counts.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Today just happens to be my hubby’s birthday so the featured card was made especially for him. We love cabin life, relaxing in the outdoors, fresh air, lake life you name it. With the weather comes the resurrection of my buffalo plaid collection, as well as my Buffalo Check Background stamp! I paired it with the In the Pines Bundle, the Coming Home Bundle as well as sentiments from the Itty Bitty Birthdays and Peaceful Moments Stamp Sets.
Use a Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11. Score and fold at 5 1/2. Distress the edges with a Bone Folder.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the Buffalo Check Background Stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. Use a Paper Trimmer to cut down to 4 x 5 1/4. Distress the edges with a Bone Folder.
Double wrap the bottom with Linen Thread, securing with a bow as shown.
Stamp the trees (In the Pines), Cabin (Coming Home), Happy Birthday (Itty Bitty Birthdays) in Jet Black Stazon Ink onto Crumb Cake Cardstock.
Use the 2-Step Stamps to add the Mossy Meadow Ink to the pine trees.
Color the cabin with a Water Brush using Soft Suede and Mango Melody Classic Inks.
Crop the trees and cabins with the coordinating dies (Pines Woods, Home Together) and a Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.
Trim the Happy Birthday sentiment to size (1/2 x 2 1/4) with a Paper Trimmer.
Adhere all pieces as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal.
Stamp the sentiment (Peaceful Moments) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Crumb Cake Cardstock (twice). Color with a Mango Melody Dark Stampin’ Blends. Crop one with a 2″ Circle Punch. Snip the “Joy” out of the 2nd with Paper Snips. Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Seal.

Have a Hoot-a-Riffic Day!
LOVE the way you layered this! The rustic is front and center, and wonderful!
This card!!! I see so many beautiful cards out there but this one is IT! I live minutes from the beach but the mountains are my happy place and this card embodies the mountains. I didn’t think I needed the Coming Home set but the way you made the cottage a log cabin is just perfect. Thanks for sharing and Happy Birthday to your hubby!
Perfect in every way. Love the fussy cut ‘joy’ so the sentiment could be tucked behind the trees.
Great card! Wow!
Great Northwoods fun here Stesha! Always fun to see how you put your own stamp on the Pals hop!
I think this is my favorite of the day! And that Coming Home bundle is now calling my name! TFS!
I love Buffalo plaid, this card is gorgeous! Perfect masculine card. Thanks for sharing!
What detail! Love it.
What a cool card! Needs framing!
I Love every card that you make Stesha! Thank you so much for inspiration!
Love love, love it! You knocked it out of the park with this one. I have the Coming Home bundle because I have a thing for house sets, lol! Thank you for never failing to impress!
Wonderful, rustic card, Stesha! Happy Birthday to your hubby!
Great use of the Coming Home stamp set. It is one of my favorites this year. I love the sentiment in the moon and the buffalo plaid, great combination of products. Hope your hubby has a wonderful birthday and the two of you are able to enjoy a getaway to the cabin soon. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to live in this cozy house!
This is DIVINE! Perfect masculine design, and super eye-catching to boot! This will get “WOWs” from both ladies and gents!
Rustic and gorgeous!
Another beauty Stesha! Your card is so rugged. I absolutely love how you weathered it!
