July Release: Wild West

The Wildest Cards in the Wilderness: Railroad Inspired Cards

I had so much fun playing with the new Wild West stamps from Kindred Stamps for their July Release! These stamps are perfect for creating cards that capture the adventurous spirit of the wild west, and I couldn't wait to dive in and start crafting.

Creative Process and Inspiration

The moment I saw these stamps, I was inspired to create cards that felt like a ride through an iconic  railroad attraction. I chose to color all the images with Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers, which are fantastic for achieving smooth blends and vibrant colors. They brought the characters and scenes to life with rich, vivid hues.

Supplies Used

To bring these cards to life, I used a variety of supplies:

• Desert Scene Stencil: These added interesting backgrounds and textures, enhancing the western theme.
• Desert Scene Dies & Pull and Slide Die: The dies were perfect for cutting out intricate shapes and layering elements, while the slider die added an interactive element to some of the cards, mimicking the movement of a roller coaster!
• Card Basics Die Set: This set helped create perfect card bases and layers, making the assembly process smooth and efficient.
• Kindred White Embossing Powder: This was a game-changer for adding crisp, white embossed details, especially for sentiments and highlights.

For the inks, I used:

• Distress Ink and Distress Oxide Ink: These inks were essential for creating the rustic, worn look of the old west. They blended beautifully and added depth and dimension to the backgrounds and edges of my cards.

Final Thoughts

Creating these cards was an absolute joy. The combination of the stamps' whimsical design and the vibrant colors of the Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers made for a delightful crafting experience. Whether you're a fan of the classic attraction or just love the wild west aesthetic, these stamps are a fantastic addition to any collection.

I hope these cards inspire you to create your own wild west-themed projects. Remember, crafting is all about having fun and letting your creativity run wild!
