Today's cards feature two more awesome stamp sets from the June release: "Green Acres" and "Uncle Sam." "Green Acres" is a full size set of 24 farm inspired images drawn by the uber talented Doug Applegate for the Apple Doodle Ink Collection. "Uncle Sam" is a petite set featuring our adorable Penguin dressed up in his patriotic gear! He is also designed by Doug and has five images. These are perfect sets for 4th of July, picnics, and your summer adventure scrapbooking!
My first project features the "Green Acres" set! I had a super hard time picking out which images to use because they are all so great. You could make a million projects with this set! The sentiments are off the hook cute! I decided to use the little farmer guy and the "hay there" saying just to make a fun card to send for now particular reason.
LOTS of coloring on this one! I kept with a fresh color scheme of red, yellow and green to give it a farm fresh feeling. I added just a pop of blue on his overalls. That super cute fence die can be found here. I use that one A LOT!
Look closely at the yellow background paper! Can you see that chicken wire pattern? That is an awesome new Impression Plate that Taylor is releasing this month. One side of it has this chicken wire pattern and the other side has a wood grain pattern. SO versatile!
My second project is with the very patriotic "Uncle Sam" penguin! He is all ready to go watch fireworks and hang out! The sentiment is from another stamp set being released this month - "4th of July Wreath." I like the font a lot. I colored Mr. Penguin with my Copics and used some striped patterned paper from October Afternoon.
Tomorrow is release day! I'm so excited for you to see everything all at once! There is so much good stuff this month! Thanks again for coming by to see me today.
As with every day...please go and check out what the rest of the Baker's Dozen has for you!

Oh, you've just brought such a smile to my face with these fabulous card, Wanda! They are both so sweet and so much fun. I love your farm scene. Great colors together and great design. Love that chickenwire embossing and the gingham paper, both so perfect for a farm fresh project. And I totally adore the sentiment in the cloud....have to laugh because my DD always spells hey there that way. ;)
That penguin card is totally fabulous, too. Penguins make me think of my son, as he's always loved them. Awesome patriotic look you made, and love the addition of the bling.
