I thought Blueberry Bushel would be the perfect “country” blue for this dapper rooster from the Home to Roost stamp set. It set the stage for. all the coordinating Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel goodies! Home to Roost can be earned FREE with a $50 product order (total before shipping and tax) during Sale-A-Bration (Jan. 3 – March 31). Learn more about Sale-A-Bration here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP PDF TUTORIAL:
Start with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Crumb Cake card base.
Use the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, and Largest Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (one of My Favorite Things in the Occasions Catalog) to crop a piece of Blueberry Bushel In-Color 6×6 Designer Series Paper. Adhere with Snail Adhesive.
Use a Big Shot and the 3rd & 4th largest Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (part of a “nest” of eight) to crop two pieces of Whisper White card stock. Watch my video on tips for using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies here.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the rooster image in Blueberry Bushel Ink onto the smaller of the two Whisper White Stitched Rectangle pieces. Wrap the lower end with Linen Thread, securing with a bow. Layer and adhere the two rectangles with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel Ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. Crop with the smallest elongated Rectangle Stitched Framelits Die. Adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add two Blueberry Best Route Enamel Dots to each side of the sentiment.
Crop a 1 5/8 x 6 piece of the Blueberry Bushel polka dot pattern with the envelope liner die (Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies) and adhere to the outside flap of a Whisper White Medium Envelope.

Both cards are very beautiful by their simplicity, I like this stylized way to present the prints Home to roost
Thanks, Mariette. I love keeping the images fairly clean for a crisp but still country chic look!
I live in Canada and have started receiving your daily emails. I just LOVE them. I am 78 years old and really appreciate the measurements for all the cards!! They are a god-send!! Best of luck and take care. Marilyn
lovely to hear, Marilyn . . . keep stamping. creativity is good for the soul!
Nice & inspirational! My family is in the “egg business” and my sister sister-in-law both love roosters. A pack of rooster “just a note cards” will make great birthday presents.
What a great idea, Donata!
Blueberry Bushel is a fantastic color. The rooster reminds me of a french blue and I LOVE that he is so proud. You have helped me to see this set in an entirely different light. TFS.
French blue. My thoughts exactly, Juanita.
That country blue rooster is just perfect! Love the result.
I have chickens – so I love, love, LOVE this card!!!! I need to order what it takes to make it!!!!!
