Stampin’ Up! Cutest Cows Congratulations Card – Sneak Peek!

The Cutest Cows Stamp Set is a stand along stamp set in the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and it is such an adorable set! The stamp set contains sentiments that are suitable for thank you cards, congratulations, or birthdays and the images are just adorable! I’m fond of cows (long story) so I had to grab this stamp set up!

I selected a wood grain paper from the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack. This paper isn’t just for winter or the holidays – the reverse sides are perfect for any-occasion cards! The designer series paper was then adhered to a Pebbled Path card front. Using the Deckled Rectangles Dies, I cut out a mat from Pebbled Path cardstock and a rectangle from Basic White cardstock. On the white panel, I stamped a cow, grass and sunflowers and a sentiment was added towards the upper right of the rectangle. I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to color in the images.

The stamped and colored panel was then adhered to the Pebbled Path mat, then adhered to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A double Linen Thread bow was adhered to the upper left of this panel using a Mini Glue Dot.

On the inside panel, two additional sentiments were stamped in Pebbled Path ink – “It’s your special day”, and “Congratulations”. The sunflower image was stamped onto the lower corner of the panel and colored with Stampin’ Blends The panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same sunflower image was stamped onto the envelope front and colored in with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and used paper snips to trim the excess paper away from the flap. Lastly, I added several Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems to the card front to finish up the project.
