Hi again!

I have been hoping to have a stamp set of the month on here for quite some time but never managed to get it put together.

So now I have the time I intend to pick a stamp set each month and feature it as much as possible, either on cards, Scrapbook pages, 3-D items etc… So you can really get the feel of a particular stamp set in the current Idea Book & Catalogue.

This month I have picked the WANTED stamp set. When the whole Boho style came out in the US I really wasn’t too sure if I liked it, but having seen it on so many blogs etc… I have really grown to love it, because it is rustic, masculine and different.

WANTED was number two on my wishlist…after Priceless, and it has been great fun to start to play around with the images and paper.

 So here are my first 4 creations for you.

The first card is on a Creamy Caramel cardstock which I rolled with the rough texture jumbo roller in Chocolate ink. I also used some of the Outlaw DS paper. With the large rectangle I have used the different wanted stamps with the markers to get the different colours onto the stamp. I then used the Scallop punch to add the feature in the centre with the large wheel stamped in chocolate ink then onto Really Rust cardstock. Finally I added some paper piercing, wide chocolate chip ribbon, copper brads, and some twine with a greeting from the Expressive flexible phrases stamp set.

Next I made a long card with Ruby Red, Night of Navy, Blush Blossom and Sage Shadow cardstock. Once again the Outlaw DS paper that has the paisley print in the background. Last I shadow stamped the horses into a row, and then distressed the edges with my cutter kit. Last of all I added the Hodgepodge Hardware and the twine for embellishments.

As simple as this card is I really like it. The colours are Not quite Navy, Really rust and Mellow moss. I used the Outlaw DS paper on the background. Then I created the tag and stamped the “wanted” up with my markers going around the edges with the NQ Navy marker to get the two-toned colours. Last of all I added the copper brads.

Last of all I made this little square card using Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, and River rock cardstock and inks. I stamped the Itty bitty backgrounds around the outer edges. Then on the Vanilla cardstock I rolled the rough edges jumbo roller with river rock ink. I made a large scallop punch in Chocolate chip cardstock and then did the wheel on the Blue Bayou cardstock, punching it out with my 1 3/8 circle punch. Then I added the following embellishments, Hodgepodge hardware, twine, and double stitched Blue Bayou ribbon. The greeting is taken from the So many sayings stamp set. I then paper pierced around the outer perimeter of the inside box.

Well that is just a start I am sure of what the WANTED stamp set can create. I hope you like what I have done with it so far!.

Love keesh x
