Giddy Up!

Hello Crafty Friends 

It is Pam sharing with you today!

I decided to change it up a bit and do a Western Theme card.  I am featuring the sweet Dog in a Cowboy Boot die on a fancy fold card. The slip in tag can hold a greeting and gift card.  This fancy fold was inspired by Beth over at SplitcoastStampers.

                                                                                                                                                     Background picture from Freepiks

Designer Steps:

1.  Use a dark brown A2 card base and cut the front flap at a diagonal save the cut off triangle.  Cut a piece of double sided designer paper 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  Take the double sided designer paper and cut it at a diagonal as shown above

2.  Glue one side of the designer paper to the left flap and the other side of the piece to the triangle that is not attached yet.  Next put a thin line of glue on the outter edge and bottom of the unattached triangle and then glue it to the front of the card.  This will create a pocket

3.  Cut a piece of dark brown card stock 5 x 3 3/4 and a piece of stripped designer paper 4 3/4 x 3 1/2.  Round the corners and glue together

4.  Decorate the inside piece as you wish.  I am going to use it as a gift card holder.  Once decorated slip the stripped piece inside of the pocket

5.  Using the Dog in a Cowboy Boot die cut out the pieces and ink the edges before assembly

6.  Cut a strip of brown card stock 1 x 11.  Use a punch on cream colored card stock to create the scallop.  Cut one 2 inch cream colored circle and ink.  Cut one 2 1/4 inch circle in dark brown.  Glue the circles together

7.  Wrap the band around the card and secure it to the card back.  Glue the circles to the center and then add the Boot and your sentiment.  Your card is complete

Thank You Pocket

It's Anja for my Sunday post. It's the second time in a row that I don't have a card for you. This time I made a small pocket that can be used as a little pocket for a short note or maybe for a little money prize. I decorated it with country farm dies. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Country Farm Stable, Dog in Cowboy Boot, Fancy Pocket Plus),

- Distress and other dye Inks,

- white card stock for die cuts,

- patterned card stock for die cuts,

- black pen, 

- white ink,

- black pigment ink,

- sentiment stamp,

- acrylic block,

- scissors,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the horses and the stables. 

Next I cut and colored the boot. 

Then I cut the pocket and colored it around the edges. I adhered the pocket together and added colored pieces to both sides. 

Last I stamped the sentiment and cut it out. I added the sentiment to the front side of the pocket. 

And my thank you pocket was finished.

 

 

And that's all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.

Boots and Bling - it's a Cowgirl Thing!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a quick card to share. The Country Farm die release was perfect for creating this all occasion card which came together very quickly!  There's a brand new release of Slimline dies in the store too, be sure to check them out while they are on sale!

Since I had the cowboy paper in mind for this card, I selected some coordinating card stock colors for all of the die cuts. The die cuts are from the Dog in Cowboy Boot, Country Farm Cows (fence) and the Mail Tag Set.

I wanted to showcase the patterned paper for this card so I kept my card base very simple and adhered the set of tags on top.  The double tags were tied together with some jute twine.

The fence was adhered along the bottom edge of the tag, slightly overlapping it.

The sweet doggy in the boot was affixed on top of the tag with the fence behind.

The fun sentiment was stamped on a hand cut flag.  I tied some more of the jute together and added it to my car as an embellishment. 

Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Howdy Friend!

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting to day with a great thinking of you card featuring the Dog in Cowboy Boot die from the new Country Farm release!  This release features 16 adorable dies with a great variety of farm images.  Everything from tractors to cows to chickens!  Be sure to check them all out in the online store.

Today's card went fast thanks to a sketch from Splitcoaststampers.  To accommodate the boot I rotated the sketch 90 degrees.

 

I knew I had some bandana designer paper and then I found this paisley embossing folder in my stash. It coordinates beautifully!

To start I cut the dog from white cardstock and used Distress Oxide ins to color him.

For my sentiment I cut two ovals using the second largest of the Stitched Scallop Ovals and the third largest of the Stitched Ovals.  After stamping the sentiment I layered these; the blue scallops just peek out from underneath.

The trickiest part of this card was the angle.  I cut a base panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches from a denim color and then two panels 4 x 5 1/4 inches from white and the DP.  I embossed the white with the paisley folder.

To get my angle I trimmed the bandana panel to 3 x 5 1/4 and marked half way up the long side at 2 3/4 inches.

I used my paper trimmer to cut a line from the lower left corner to the pencil mark giving me the angle.  I assembled my panel pieces.

To finish the card I glued down the oval and used foam dots to pop up the pooch!  Don't forget to check out this adorable release.  It's on sale for a limited time!
