For October's SheetLoad of Cards collaboration hop with Call Me Crafty Al's creative team, I went digging through my stash and pulled out some older products from Social Paper Plan, including the Wild Frontier stamp set and an ephemera pack that is unfortunately no longer available, but the stamp set is still out there if you love a certain very famous wilderness themed attraction! I followed the SheetLoad sketch to create a set of 8 cards using two different background papers from the paper pack, one with a red bandana feel and one with lanterns and little themed details, alternating the strips and layering them onto white card bases with a slightly off centered look before stamping "This Here Is the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness" from the Wild Frontier stamp set in Pinecone VersaFine Clair ink into the white space on each card.

For the fun part I sorted through the ephemera pack and built little clusters of three images for each card, grouping things like a billy goat with dynamite, a cactus, and a box of dynamite together, or a runaway train, a larger cactus, and a lantern, gluing each cluster together first before committing to the final placement on the card with foam adhesive. On the inside I stamped "Howdy Partner" and "Hold On to Your Hats and Glasses" in Pinecone ink along with little stamped accents of dynamite in Tulip Red, a sheriff star in Cheerful, and a cactus in Avocado VersaFine Clair, and after filming I added a few coppery gold satin baubles to the fronts of the cards the next morning because they just needed a little something extra!
