Rustic Crate for Sunday Stamps!

Hello, and happy Sunday to my crafty friends! Today, I am excited to share a creation using a new stamp set from the upcoming September - January 2025 Mini Catalog called Rustic Crate.  

Oh my gosh do I love this set! It contains 3 different images to put in your crate: spring/summer, fall and Christmas. Yah! And it makes 2 kinds of wood creates.  One is a stamped and die cut crate (as I have done) here; and the other is a "3D crate box" complete with woodgrain textured embossing!  It is so DANG cute and I can't wait to make some fall creations with this set. :)

However, since its still summer out and my garden is at its peak, I decided to make a card using the foliage stamp. I stamped 3 sets of the foliage using Memento Black ink and then colored them with Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat Stampin' Blends before die cutting them out.

I then cut two of foliage clusters in half and used them separately to "fill" in the background area of my crate.  I stamped the crate using Memento Black ink onto Early Espresso cardstock and then die cut it out. Isn't this wood crate so cute?!

Although there are some really cool elements I could have added to my crate (handle, labels, bolts, etc.)  I chose to keep it simple and wrapped a piece of Lost Lagoon 1/4" Bordered Ribbon around it. I LOVE this ribbon! 

Next, I hand cut out my sentiment and then added my completed crate to a rectangle layered onto a piece of Wild Wheat DSP from the 2023-2025 In Color 6" x 6" DSP Assortment followed by a Basic White card base.

My card follows this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps! by Heidi.
