Today, it’s time for a COW CARD!! The Cutest Cows products are so cute! The bundle comes with the stamp set and a coordinating Cow Builder punch.

Directions

  1. Stamp the body of the cow, the little bird and the flowers on the Basic White cardstock approx. 3/4″ from the bottom.
  2. Stamp the milk can and the head of the cow on scrap Basic White cardstock. Use the punch to cut out the head and Paper Snips to cut the milk can.
  3. Colour all images using Stampin’ Blends, then add the head and can to the card using Dimensionals.
  4. Stamp the grass image randomly on the 3/4″ Lemon Lime cardstock. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut the top edge. Adhere the “grass layer” to the card. Use the Paper Snips (or your fingers) to pull up some of the edge.
  5. Stamp the sun on to a scrap Basic White cardstock using the Lemon Lolly ink pad. Cut it out using the matching die from the Bright Skies Bundle. Add it to the card using Dimensionals.
  6. Stamp the greeting on to a scrap Basic White cardstock using Memento black ink. Cut it out using the 1 1/8″ x 1 3/4″ die from the Nested Essentials Dies. Add the greeting to the card using Dimensionals.
