Holy Cow! It's Notes of Nature

I have two cut bundles to share with you today. The first one was made with the Cutest Cows bundle. I'm not normally one to use cutsy stamps, but this cow just knocks my socks off, especially when I got to brainstorming cow puns with some Demonstrator friends. If you'd like a copy of my list, you'll find it below the cow. To make this card I used a Basic Black card base, topped with a Balmy Blue layer that is 4 x 5-1/4. Then I cut a piece of Real Red 2-1/2 x 4, which was embossed with the Timber embossing folder. To make it look like a barn door, I cut strips of Basic White that were 1/4" wide and glued them criss crossed, then around all four edges. For the door handle I cut a strip about 1/8" wide and punched concentric holes with my smaller hole punches. The cow was punched from Pecan Pie cardstock and the hooves and spots were colored free hand with a black marker. The horns were punched from Early Espresso CS then stamped in Basic Black. the nose was punched from Petal Pink CS, the tail and Forelocks from Crumb Cake. I stamped the eyes and nose/mouth in Black ink. The cloud was cut freehand. For a bit of whimsy, I attached the head with a Dimensional. Oh! I almost forgot the grass! It was diecut from Garden Green CS with the Meadow dies.

Sneak Peek 2024 Spring Catalig

The two cards I'm sharing with you today were made with some products found in the 2024 Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog. The first one has the beautiful Designer Series Paper called Perennial Lavender. It coordinates with the Painted Lavender bundle. I used the Flower Cart bundle with the sigh inducing DSP. The colors in the paper are my among my favorites, purples and a deep berry color. My Mom and I used to say these colors were just yummy. On the card front is a flower cart made with the dies, while the flowers were stamped then diecut. On the inside is a stamped flower cart. Both options are gorgeous don't you think?

The card below was made from the Cutest Cow bundle, which includes a punch. On the card front the bulls were constructed from the punched shapes, while on the inside is a cow made from a stamped image.
