Unfortunately I was not really thinking I would make cards with my SU products but just scrapbook so I never purchased this set. You see, we didn't live out west, own a horse and no one in my family was a cowboy so how could I justify spending money on a set I loved but couldn't see using in my scrapbooking. Crazy me. Little did I know, I would end up making more cards that I scrapbook so I should have just indulged and bought the set.
Well after years of trying to find this retired set at a reasonable price (yes, I thought I was dreaming since I had seen this set sell on ebay for up to $250) some kind lady was willing to sell this to me at the original price, WHHOOO HOOOO!!! (Picture me doing the happy dance here, lol!!!) What an angel!!! It just arrived at the end of last week and I have finally had a chance to play with it.
I love, love, love this set and used one of the stamps from this set as the main image on my card. I had some retired Western Sky designer paper laying around and since it goes so well with this stamp set decided to use that. Looks great with this paper right! On my sketch I used ribbon but didn't think that it would work real well with this theme of this card so I pulled out some hemp and used that instead. I also replaced the buttons from the sketch with adhesive nail heads. Came out super cute didn't it. I think it would make a great male birthday card or maybe father's day card. I haven't decided what I am going to do with it so I didn't put any sentiment on it.
Hope you all enjoy and are inspired by my latest sketch. Give it a try and post a link to your creation in the comments section of this post so we can check out your wonderful work!!!
Have a great Memorial Day tomorrow and be safe. Remember our service men and women and the sacrifices that they make each and every day for us and our country!
Happy Stamping and Scrapping,
Ronda
Yes this is a super cute card.. I do love all the western stamp sets. I have a few of them from the past few years but not this one.. (lucky you) I did hear that there is a new Western set coming out in the new Catalog.. I heard it has boots and a cowboy, I just can't wait to use it too... thanks for sharing your card.

LOVE it!! Great job on the sketch!
ReplyDeleteRhonda, I have been searching for this set for a long time as well. My confirmation class sends cards to soldiers abroad. If I send you a pix of what I am looking for, can you stamp a bunch for me for the kids to color and send. I will pay for the supplies and shipping. Anyone else out there willing to help me I'd greatly appreciate it! I'd even bum the set and return it ASAP if I could. You can contact me at my email address: karengroneberg@frontiernet.net. Thanks for your help!
