Here’s another sneak peek of the Wood Textures Suite of products. When looking on the internet for pictures of crates, I kept seeing photos of markets with crates overflowing with flowers. That’s where I got the idea for today’s card. I used the Jar of Love bundle to make the flowers and leaves.
Here’s what I made:

And now, todays project. I made a bunch of products for the OnStage display board using the new Wood Textures Suite. When I saw the crescent moon shaped die, I knew I had to make an outhouse. I mean, isn’t that the first thing that came to your mind? No? Just me? Well anyway, check it out. I thinks it’s cute as can be.
Here’s what I made:
Die cut using the Home Sweet Home Thinlits:
2 pieces of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the house die
1 piece of scrap card stock (CS) with the house die
Die cut using the Wood Crate Framelits:
moon out of one DSP door
Created a template for the inside:
cut the door off of the CS piece, then cut off the top half of the door
traced around the bottom part of the door on another piece of scrap CS
measured and used a ruler to draw the rest of the template: sides, top, and bottom
cut another piece of the DSP with my Paper Snips, using the template
cut the hole for the “seat” with the 3/4″ Circle Punch
Made the grass for around the outhouse:
cut pieces of Old Olive CS to fit around the bottom of the house
used Paper Snips to cut cut cut all the grass blades, being sure not to cut all the way through to the other edge
crumpled the blades with my fingers
Made the toilet paper:
I used a scrap of Whisper White CS (approximately 1/2″ x 8″)
used a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Write Marker to draw tiny “perforations” along about 1-1/2″ or so of one end
put a tiny bead of glue down the side without perforations, leaving about 3/4″ at the end without glue
roll up with your fingers (you might find it helpful to wrap it around a wooden skewer to get it started) leaving the “perforated” end free
Assembled the outhouse:
two DSP die cuts glued together to make the house, leaving open the side that has the moon
insert folded into shape and glued inside the house
toilet paper roll glued to the seat
grass pieces glued to the sides of the house

Today I’m sharing another sneak peek of the Wood Textures Suite. For this card I used the Wood Words stamp set, the Wood Crate Framelits, and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) along with the Hearth & Home Thinlits. When I saw this piece of the DSP with the logs, I immediately thought of a wood pile. I created a place to stack them: beside a wooden house, underneath a wooden window, with a rooster on top ready to announce the morning.
Here’s what I made:

A couple weeks ago I had the honor of presenting the new Wood Textures Suite at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event. I made quite a few samples, which I had planned to share with you closer to June 1, when the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog goes live. But since I’ve been in bed with the flu, and haven’t made anything else, I figured I’d go ahead and give you some sneak peeks of this terrific new suite of products. Today’s card features the Wood Crate Framelits and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, along with the Pretty Kitty stamp set.
A huge thanks to my sister, Judy Newsome, for fussy cutting most of the cats for me!
