Rustic Crate Good Things Harvest

Supplies needed:

Project Recipe:

1. Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
   - card from Wild Wheat Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
   - 4" x 5-1/4" of rectangle of light brown leaves on dark green background design cut from sheet of multi-designs Fresh As A Daisy 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
   - 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" from Crushed Curry Cardstock
   - 2-3/8" x 2-5/8" of yellow brushstrokes stripes cut from sheet of multi-designs Fresh As A Daisy 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the stripes are horizontal on the horizontal rectangle
   - 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
   - 2" x 2-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock

2. DO THIS STEP FIRST!

   Pick out a Textural Elements piece from the package. Firmly press it into the open Wild Wheat Ink Pad. Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to remove the element from the ink pad. Lay it on your work surface inky side up. Press a clean tissue of paper towel against the inky element several times to blot up excess ink. Set aside to allow to dry.

3. Adhere the cut out large rectangle of brown flowers on green background Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper to the front of the Wild Wheat card.

4. Adhere the yellow striped rectangle cut from the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper to the center of the Crushed Curry rectangle.

5. Adhere the matted, striped designer paper rectangle to the lower right side of the card front so it is about 3/4" from the bottom and about 1/2" from the right side.

6. Unlock the Decorative Circle Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" white strip into the punch and get it centered. Punch.

7. As you are ready to stamp using the Rustic Crate Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.

8. Mount the "good things take time" sentiment from the Rustic Crate Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Pretty Peacock Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the top of the punched out decorative circle so one of the bumps is in the center top.

9. Adhere the stamped decorative circle punch out to the center of the matted striped designer paper rectangle on the card front so it is about 1/4" from the top, left, and right edges.

10. Mount the group of pumpkins, sunflowers, and corn image from the Rustic Crate Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Saddle Brown StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining white strip.

11. Pick out the matching group of pumpkins, sunflowers, and corn die from the Rustic Crate Dies. Put it on top of the stamped image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.

12. Squeeze the lid of the Copper Clay Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use the Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in most of the pumpkin in the back of the cut out image and the outer edges of the pumpkin in the front of the cut out image. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Get more ink on the tip of the pen as needed. Make some areas darker than others. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more ink is coming off the Blender Pen.

13. Squeeze the lid of the Cajun Craze Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use the Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in the rest of the pumpkin in the back of the cut out image and the interior edges of the pumpkin in the front of the image. Also use it to color in random kernels on the corn pieces. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Get more ink on the tip of the pen as needed. Make some areas darker than others. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more ink is coming off the Blender Pen.

14. Squeeze the lid of the Crushed Curry Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use the Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in the rest of the pumpkin in the front of the cut out image and the bottom petals of the sunflowers. Also use it to outline the veins of the top petals of the sunflowers and to color in random kernels on the corn pieces. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Get more ink on the tip of the pen as needed. Make some areas darker than others. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more ink is coming off the Blender Pen.

15. Squeeze the lid of the Pebbled Path Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use the Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in the centers of the sunflowers. Also use it to color in random kernels on the corn pieces. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Get more ink on the tip of the pen as needed. Make some areas darker than others. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more ink is coming off the Blender Pen.

16. Squeeze the lid of the Pretty Peacock Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use the Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and outline the veins on the large leaves. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Get more ink on the tip of the pen as needed. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more ink is coming off the Blender Pen.

17. Squeeze the lid of the Garden Green Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use the Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in the rest of all the leaves. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Get more ink on the tip of the pen as needed. Make some areas darker than others. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more ink is coming off the Blender Pen.

18. Use the brush tip of the Lemon Lolly Stampin' Write Marker to color in the rest of the top petals of the sunflowers. Use the fine tip of the Lemon Lolly Stampin' Write Marker to color in any remaining kernels on the corn pieces.

19. Adhere the colored cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the bottom of the matted striped designer paper rectangle and is just below the sentiment stamped on the decorative circle punch out.

20. Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the colored Textural Element to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the upper left corner of the matted striped designer paper rectangle.

21. Cut a 9" piece of the Wild Wheat jute trim from the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim.

22. Tie a small bow in the center of the jute trim. Trim the ends.

23. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the jute trim bow to the front of the card so it is centered over the center of the stem of the Textural Element just below the branches at a slight angle as shown.
