Hogs and Kisses

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a fun card to share for my design team day.  The new Country Farm die release has been a delight to create with.  There are so many adorable die sets available for a variety of creations!

For today's card, I used the Playful Piggies and Piggy w/Crate die sets using colored card stock.  I also cut out 2 circle from the Pierced Circle Set with white card stock.  All of the die cuts were inked on the edges for added dimension.

For my card base, I used the Nested Rectangles Slimline die set to cut out my patterned paper and inked it on the edges.

The two pierced circles were adhered on top of my slimline card base, leaving a bit of space between them for a sentiment tag.

The Piggy w/Crate was affixed inside the bottom circle on my card.

I placed the Playful Piggy inside the top circle along with the mud splatters surrounding him.

A fun sentiment was stamped on a hand cut flag and adhered between the 2 circles.

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

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting today.  I am in love with all the little pigs from the new Country Farm release.  This release features the most delightful dies.  Everything from Tractors to Chicks to Cows!  Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions. 

I started this card by cutting out the Piggy w/ Crate from white cardstock and used Distress Oxide inks to color.

I colored the pig using the Tattered Rose and then used a sponge dauber to add some shading with the Vintage Photo.

I cut a panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches from floral designer paper.  Using the largest of the Nested Stitched Scallop Squares and Stitched Squares I cut out two white squares.  I used the banner from the Windows Slimline die to cut the striped banner.

I stamped my sentiment centered on the bottom of the plain stitched square and then ran it through an embossing folder to add texture and contrast with the scallops.

I mounted the floral paper on a card base and added the squares.  I tied a coordinating ribbon around the center.

My last step was to add the banner and pop up the pig using foam dots.

This little pig is super cute and can be used for many occasions.  I picked this sentiment since I could used it as a congratulatory or birthday card.

Be sure to visit the online store where the new release is on sale for a limited time.
