I recently had a new customer order just the Bronc Buster set and the scallop punch. I don’t know how many other stamping supplies she has, so I tried to come up with a card that only used the Bronc Buster stamps. No other stamps and only a few accessories.
Being spoiled in having so many tools and designer papers ready at my fingertips, this wasn’t that easy.
I started out by making my center image first.
I stamped the star image twice in Chocolate Chip on Natural Ivory cardstock.
One was punched out with my 1 1/4″ circle punch.
The circle was sponged first with Really Rust and then Chocolate Chip.
From the second image I cut out the star, sponged it first in More Mustard, then in Really Rust and finally the edges with Chocolate Chip. The star was taped over the star on the circle punchout . I paper pierced a border on the inside edge of the Natural Ivory circle, and layered it on a sponged 1 3/8″ Really Rust circle followed by a sponged Chocolate Chip scallop circle. Last an Antique Brass brad was added in the center of the star.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock, folded in half and sponged on the front edges. Next was a 4″ square of Natural Ivory Cardstock. It was sponged first with Really Rust, then with Chocolate Chip. The bottom two corners were punched with the ticket corner punch. Last I added a very subtle background with the wind/swirl stamp in 4th generation Really Rust ink.
For the bottom part I took a 2″ x 4″ piece of Really Rust cardstock, punched the bottom corners with the Ticket corner punch, stamped the Bronc Buster on it twice in Really Rust and sponged the edges (first in Really Rust, then in Chocolate Chip).
Over the Rust cardstock is a 3/8″ x 4″ strip of sponged Chocolate Chip paper. I added Paper Piercing in the middle of the strip.
I stamped the greeting of that set in Chocolate Chip on Natural Ivory cardstock, cut around the one and only and sponged it first with Really Rust, then Chocolate Chip. I added what I thought were two Antique Brass brads, one on each end. (When you click on the picture to enlarge it, you see that I must have gotten a pewter brad by accident. And I already sent out the card. Big oops).
There you have it. One VERY limited card. One stamp set, 2 ink pads, three cardstock colors, one brad pack, one punch, paper piercing tools and sponges.

Beate, this looks REALLY good for using just the limited supplies that you did! You colour choices I think are just so classic and classy! Thanks for all that you do and the great blog you let us all read each day!

Beate, You got the effect for sure! Great card! Deb
It just goes to show we don’t need EVERY single tool to make something beautiful! Great card Beate! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
This is gorgeous! I love that you limited yourself to using only those tools to come up with the perfect card. I love the colors.
LOVE this! Love the colors you chose.
The card is beautiful! It’s great to get back to the basics sometimes! It’s nice to see that you were looking at stamping and cardmaking for a new stampers perspective. I think we all need to step back and do that occasionally. I think she will be really impressed with your card and know she can accomplish wonderful things, learning from YOU!
I love this card! And it is so great of you to give her some ideas on what to do with her new stuff!
Beate, this is another gorgeous card! Love the colors and the layout is perfect. TFS
I tell you I love this set used with the scallop punch. The scallop looks like a concho! Great card.

Just gorgeous! If it was difficult, you made it look so easy!
Love this! Great job on the directions too!
Beate, such a darling card!! Don’t you just love that scallop punch?!!
Well that is certainly a gorgeous card with such limited supplies because you rock! 😉 I like how the bronc image was not your focal image but a background instead — love the colors!
Beate, I like the simplicity of this card, this is great for someone with limited supplies!
what a great lesson in doing with less! I absolutely love the rustic colors and the masculine feel of this card. This has got to be one of the most versatile stamp sets SU! has ever come up with! Thanks for showing us so many ways to use it!!
This is fantastic – as usual!!! Something tells me you could create a beauty with absolutely anything! 🙂
This looks great Beate! Very doable but so beautiful. I know what you mean about limiting the stamps and supplies you use. It’s hard to hold back.
This is awesome! I am new to stamping and have very limited supplies myself. This is so inspiring!
Beautiful card. I love “the one and only” cut out. I was just wondering last night if this would look good, weird. Guess I have my answer, great card! Love it!
Even without all your tools and DS papers, it is still beautiful!
Well, for not being allowed to use all of your tools, this is just awesome.
Oooo! Gorgeous simplicity!
What an awesome card, and you wouldn’t know you used limited supplies…it’s perfect! I love how you did the different backgrounds as well!
oooooooooooooooooooooooooh, I love this one!
This is fantastic! And with limited supplies too! I am in constant awe of your talent!
This is so classy. Those colours are just so yummy. You are such an inspiration – thankyou!
Every element is spectacular!! I LOVE the simplicity, and colors, TFS.
