Hello! Happy Friday!

I hope you have some stamping time planned for your weekend! 

Today's card features two stamp sets: Stake Your Claim and Gift from the Garden– both from the 2015-2016 Annual Catalogue. Which, by the way, is coming to it's end on May 31st! That means we will soon see a list of the stamp sets and other products that will be retiring from this catalogue and that means, no longer avaialable after May 31st! I will be sure to share that list when it's available! In the meantime, you might want to start making your wish list or updating it 🙂 

This really was an easy card to put together. Once you have embossed the Crumb Cake layer with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder, you adhere that to the Cajun Craze cardbase. 

Then, stamp the flower pots in Always Artichoke on Very Vanilla and adhere that to the Cajun Craze mat. Tie some Linen Thread around the two layers. Adhere it to the card front. 

Stamp the Stake Your Claim birthday stamp on a piece of Very Vanilla and die cut with the Big Shot and matching Handpicked Framelits die. Add a little adhesive to the die cut and tuck it behind the stamped layer as shown. 

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Stake Your Claim- 138688 w, 139447 c; Gift From the Garden- 138718w, 139356c

Paper: Cajun Craze-119684, Crumb Cake- 120953, Very Vanilla- 101650

Ink: Cajun Craze- 126965, Always Artichoke- 126972

Other: Handpicked Framelits- 137361, Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder-138288, Linen Thread-104199
