Creative Nugget: The Ride 'Em Cowboy image was stamped on the paper from the Patriotic Collection and that along with a coordinating paper were cut with the Star Quilt Die. The pieces from the image were then carefully inlaid back into the Star Quilt frame. Additional pieces of paper were cut to frame the image and fill the 5 1/2" card base. The sentiment was cut with a Circle Die and matted with one of the Pierced Circle Dies. A lasso made with jute was added to finish the card.
My second card was made with the new Howdy stamp set.
Creative Nugget: Pieces of card stock and papers from the Cozy Quilt Collection and the Blooming Garden Collection were cut into triangles and stitched to the card front to form the rays behind the cowboy image. The Grass Border was cut twice and layered over the rays. A stencil was placed over a watercolor wash on Mixed Media paper and allowed to air dry to make a background for the cowboy image from the Howdy stamp set. This panel and the mats were cut with the Circle Dies and the Pierced Circle Dies. The sentiment was also stamped on the watercolored background and cut with a Double Stitched Rectangle Die. The cactus was stamped several times, fussy cut, and added to finish the card.

Creative use of the die on your first card. Awesome paper piecing on your second card.
2 beautiful cards! Love the jute lasso very much -nice touch to that card - you did great! TFS and for the hop = have a blessed week!
Such pretty masculine cards! LOL
I love the designs.
I just LOVE the way you combined the Cowboy silhouette with the quilt die -- I NEVER would have thought of that on my own, and I really love the quilt dies I bought a couple of weeks ago.
You have winners with both your cards. The Star Quilt Die over the first card was a clever thing to do. I really like the colors you chose, too. Your second card is so well put together, as well. The background, vegetation, and the Bible verse go perfect together.
Fabulous cards. I like that they have a quilt theme too.
I love the uniqueness of the first card with the use of the star quilt die. It gives a whole new dimension to the overall picture.
Neat cards! I love the stitching and colors on the second!
I love how you used the quilt die!!! So cool! And that second card just takes my breath away!!! Amazing Cathy!
Love the colors and designs you used on the beautiful cards.
OMG your second card is just perfect, I just love it, makes me want to get the dies stamps and papers used, thank for sharing
Gorgeous. Love the star quilt die over the first card and your stitched sunset is glorious. Hugz
Both cards are absolutely picture perfect! Your creativity and details from stencils to using the quilt die are amazing!
Your cards are gorgeous, Cathy!! I love the star quilt design with the silhouette on the first!! So creative! Your paper pieced sunburst and colors are stunning on the second, especially with your stitching!!
hugs,
Chris
Both these cards are so awesome but the sunset card is stunning, Thanks so much!! Hugs!
Clever, clever YOU! Love the quilt and paper choice on the first and the stitched rays of the second! Love the cowboy on the 'sun'.
Awesome samples, Cathy!
Great cards! I especially like how you used the quilt designs on your card with the cowboy. The perfect combination!
These are 2 great cards. I really like the card with the "Howdy" stamp.I liked how you used different elements and it's just the right amount. Love the cactus.
What a clever combination of elements...silhouettes and quilting. Fantastic cards!
These are wonderful, Cathy! Great job incorporating the "quilt" look w/ these cowboys. Wonderful colors!
