make it market kit: county fair...

County fairs are the highlight of the summer!  From quilt shows to pie baking contests, midway rides and gunny sack races, fair days are filled with old-fashioned down home goodness...and this kit is reminiscent of all those things.  The NEW! County Fair Kit designed by Betsy Veldman exclusively for Papertrey Ink is full of specialty items that will instantly bring back summer memories when you open up your box!  If paper crafting is all about *fun* for you, then you are definitely gonna want to get your hands on this kit!  Of course there are gorgeous limited edition stamps and innovative dies, but all of the special little extras that are included are truly inspiring!  You will love mixing and matching all of the unique embellishments on your cards and experimenting with the fabulous packaging supplies to wrap up some special gifts!

 

Here are a few things I made using contents of this kit...I love, love, love every little bit of what's included.

 

This card uses the County Quilt Block die, the County Fair stamp set, patterned paper, and the County Fair Medallion die, which I used across the bottom of my card to form a decorative border.

 

I used some felt scraps I had on hand along with the County Fair dies to create a tiny cluster of flowers in the center of my quilt.  

I love the images and fonts used in the County Fair stamp set...just sweet and charming.

 

 

I used the fun peanut bag for my next project to create gift packaging.

I combined it with the Medallion die, tickets trimmed into banners, and stamped and die cut cherries.

I stapled tickets to my straws to make little flags and tucked them inside the peanut bag.

And then my medallion placed over a County Fair ribbon to finish off my package.  Super sweet and ready to share.

My last card uses the County Fair Bandanna Cover Plate die, which is truly irresistible.  I layered it over County Fair paper, added a contrasting print at the top of my card, and then added a County Fair Words die to form my sentiment.

The Burlap ribbon included in this kit is full of texture and character.  It along with the other trimmings are perfectly suited for the County Fair.

Brings back happy memories of carefree childhood summers! Love the happiness factor and bright colors.

Great ideas! Like the way some of the sections of quilt block are recessed while others are not and also the use of the cover plate so only the bottom half of it shows.

I never commented on this post because I had to close it up fast before you had me buying the County Fair kit, which just didn't fit in my budget. I have to stop by, though, to share how the two cards touched my heart. Lovely.
