Even though the Day at the Farm Designer Series Paper is no longer available through Sale-A-Bration, you can still make an adorable card using the On the Farm Stamp Set and On the Farm Dies! I made an All-Occasion card, but you can easily make this into a birthday card, friendship card, or thinking of you card! This set makes great kids’ cards too! The die set includes a massive amount of dies so you’ll want to check it out.
[Side Note – I have a new phone which has a really great camera. However, I’m still learning how to use it. If my photos are a little off, please bear with me!]
For the white card front panel, I made a mask from a scrap piece of paper using the long, thin wavy die included with the On the Farm Dies set. I used this mask on a white panel and with a blending brush I blended Granny Apple Green ink towards the bottom 1/3 of the panel to establish the “ground” of the scene. I used the grass stamp from the On the Farm Stamp Set to randomly stamp grass across the bottom portion of the panel.
I stamped, colored, and die cut a number of pieces for my scene – including clouds, a barn, silo, hills, a windmill, trees, a sheep and a chicken. I also stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and used the smallest circle die from the Layering Circles Dies set to cut out. All of the images were dry fit onto the ink-blended panel. The hills, barn, silo, trees and windmill were all adhered directly to the panel using liquid glue. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment label, clouds, sheep and chicken to the card front. The scene was then adhered to a mat in Basic Black and this unit was adhered to the card front.
On the inside panel I again ink blended Granny Apple Green ink onto the lower corner and then used the grass stamp to randomly stamp grass along the ink blended area. Several clouds were stamped in Balmy Blue ink across the top of the panel and I used the light shade of a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend to add a shadow towards the bottoms of the clouds. The panel was adhered to a mat in Basic Black then adhered to the inside of the card.
I stamped the image of the pigs onto the envelope flap and colored them in using the light shade of a Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend. More ink blending and stamped grass were added to the bottom of the envelope front.
I tied a very small double bow using Linen Thread and added the bow to the bottom of the sentiment label. Several Matte Black Dots were added towards the bottom of the card front to complete the card.
I mentioned that there are a lot of fun dies included in the On the Farm Dies set…take a look!
