Happy Monday, everyone! I've got a couple rustic-themed birthday cards for you today! My birthday card stash is pretty slim, and these are actually going out in the mail today, so I need to get busy! My first card uses the CAS Colours and Sketches sketch:
and it is for a horse-loving friend of mine! The papers come from a line from Authentique called Frontier; I stamped a horse from PTI's On The Farm and embellished it with some punched stars:
I added some Candy Dot "brads":
I used the same paper as the stars for my sentiment, and die-cut it with a stitched tag from Pretty Pink Posh:
The next one uses the sketch from TGIF:
Same line of papers, but this time I used an image from SU's Countryside, stamped in Early Espresso on Crumb Cake and colored with blends; I stamped the Crumb Cake card base with the woodgrain image from Gallery Grunge:
I just love that little bird!
The sentiment is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit:
And again, I stamped the inside with Country Road:
It was fun to stamp with warm country colors and images...I am getting itchy to stamp some pumpkins, so be on the watch for them!!
Speaking of itching, at church yesterday, Cassidy sat with our new preacher's family; they have a three-year-old little girl and Cassidy was just beside herself trying to be a babysitter to her:
Blessedly, the preacher's wife was very gracious and gently "helped" Cassidy be a little less motherly! All was well! Thanks for popping in today...enjoy it and be blessed!

Sweet cards! Those DSPs are so cute. The one with the horses is awesome for a horse lover! All those lovely layers on the second one feel so fallish...making me wish we'd cool down so I could actually think about fall!
I would love to see a photo of your craft supplies...there seems to be no end to what you bring out! It's nice to have a young couple in your midst, isn't it? Cassidy, undoubtedly, will be called to babysit one day.
Lovely cards, LeAnne! Love how you've used the brads for decorating. Stunning take on the sketch. Thanks for playing along with us at CAS Colours & Sketches this week. Looking forward to seeing your creative projects in the future galleries again.
What fun papers you've used, LeAnne! I remember receiving those PTI images with one of the 12 Kits of Occasions years ago... how fun both of your cards are! and I love that little Scarlet Tanager you've added!

Two beautiful masculine cards. I'm always short on those! Cute pic of Cassidy, too :)
Love both of your cards LeAnne, especially the one with the horse paper. I have several in my family that are horse lovers.
Cute photo of Cassidy. She will be a great babysitter. TFS
Two nice rustic cards here! I like how you've popped up the stars on the first one to give some dimension to the card. Thanks for making CC&S part of your crafting time! :)
The paper with all of those little horses is so cute! A terrific pair of cards LeAnne!
Awesome cards with that paper, LeAnne! You rocked it xoxo
Great cards, the horse card is darling. Thanks for playing along with us at CC&S.
What great cards! I love the warm country colors and fun images in the DSP! Thank you for joining us at TGIF Challenges!
