Antiques & New Machine

"Mr. Rachel's" birthday was this past weekend.

He is 49-and-a-few-months. 😉

(maybe many months)

Anyway, he loves antiques and old signs.

This is the inspiration behind these cards that Rachel made.

(insides of cards)

The cards were created using these fabrics.

You may notice that the colors of these mechanical items seems brighter on the fabric,

Rachel chalked the items on the card to give them the "antique"-look.

She used these die-cuts on the front of the cards.

The words came from these two sets of stamps.

Here is another card made from these fabrics.

We have a new machine in the Farmhouse.

It is the Coutore Creations GoPress and Foil Machine.

It foils images/words onto card stock.

Here is a sample of a card that we made and the die

 we used to foil the wording onto the card.

Stop by the Farmhouse to see how it works.

Rachel informed me today that it is exactly 8 months until Christmas.

Just thought you might like to know that.

(it may or may not have something to do with new Christmas fabric that just arrived.)
