Tag Archives: Let It Ride

Hello Stamping Friends,

I have one more card to post from my April card class. This one uses the Let It Ride stamp set and is a case of Kim Baker at www.kims-kreative-korner.blogspot.com.

Stamps:  Let It Ride, High Tide (birds), Barn Door, Crackle Paint

Tools:  Sliding Door Framelits Dies, Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder,

Inks:  Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Soft Sky Blue

Stampin’ Blends:  Dark & Light Soft Suede, Light Smoky Slate (hooves)

Special Technique:  Sponging with saran wrap.  I wadded up a piece of saran wrap and put it in one of those big black desk clips.  I masked off the separation between sky and meadow and masked off the horse. I stamped the sky, changed saran wrap and switched the mask on the meadow to the sky and then stamped the meadow in green.  It gave the card a textured sort of sponging and took much less time.  Looks a lot like grass don’t you think?!

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the horse (and needed it) so I could stamp a second time and press a little extra on the mane.   I triple stamped the trees using the Stamparatus so they would be a deep green and then moved the hinge on the Stamparatus and did a couple of shadow stamps to create a forest.

Dimensions:  Note – the layers are flush to the bottom

• Crumb Cake:  11″ X 4 1/4″, Score at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″;  Make a pencil mark 2 1/8″ down at the left hand side of the front and cut diagonally from that mark to the 2 3/4″ score line
• Real Red:  5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″, Score at 2 5/8″; Make a pencil mark 2 1/16″ down on the left hand side of the front and cut diagonally from the mark to 2 5/8″ score line.  Emboss with the Pinewood Plank embossing folder
• Very Vanilla:  5 5/16″ (5 1/4 + 1/16″) X 4 1/8″
• Crumb Cake: 3″ X 4″ for the gate;   stamp and cut the entire barn door then cut in half
• Black Scrap: 2″ X 2″ for hardware on the door
• Red Strip: 5/8″ X 2 1/2″, emboss with the Pinewood Plank, roll the paper with your fingers to create the look of the front of a post, place an adhesive dimensional strip down the middle to adhere; adhere a bit down from the top so you don’t see the adhesive.

Stamp your name on the back and send to your favorite horse lover!
