Gathered Wheat

 Thursday, July 21, 2022

Today's card features a new bundle, Gathered Wheat, from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalog (2022).

Being married to a wheat farmer (although he is now retired) I had to have this bundle. I like it and am having fun playing with it.

Card Details:

• A2 card base in Soft Seafoam
• Using the Scallop Contour dies cut one rectangle from Crumb Cake. Wrap demin ribbon around it and adhere to card base.  Cut another rectangle from Soft Seafoam.
• Cut a Stitched Rectangle from Pretty Prints DSP; adhere to the Soft Seafoam scalloped rectangle.
• Stamp the wheat with Crushed Curry ink onto Basic White cardstock and color the wheat heads with light crumb cake. Cut the other wheat pieces from Crushed Currry cardstock. Adhere to DSP.
• Adhere Soft Seafoam rectangle to card base with dimensionals.
• Cut the banner from Basic White cardstock. Stamp sentiment with Evening Evergreen. Adhere over wheat stems.
• Add 3 gold pearls from the Red & Green Pearls (do you find that an odd name for these pearls? There are silver and gold pearls and the green ones are very light, almost blue depending on the light. They are all very pretty and I highly recommend them.)

The wheat fields have always been my favorite. I think they are so pretty at all the stages of growth. The wheat harvest was fun, too, as it is fast paced. So many good memories of harvesting! 

Happy Stamping!
