Mooooooo's Having a Birthday?!

Oh, hi! Today I'm sharing a slimline card using the new 6x6 Bandana Paper Pack, along with a few other goodies. I don't know about you . . .but I am loving all the farm goodies from Whimsy Stamps' latest release!

Anywhoooo . . on to how I created this card. I started with a piece of white cardstock that measures 2.25" x 6.25" so I could stamp the Scratchy Plaid Background stamp onto it. Of course, my piece of cardstock is longer than the stamp, so to get around that, I put my cardstock on the stamp before I inked it up and made a mark where the raised stamp ends.

Then I inked up the stamp with black ink and placed my cardstock on the stamp. To make sure I got a really good transfer of ink, I put a piece of scratch paper on top and rubbed really well.

Then to stamp the little bit at the bottom that was hanging off the bottom of the stamp, I re-inked the stamp and moved my cardstock to the top. I made sure to line up my pen mark with the very top of where the raised part of the stamp begins.


I didn't get the stamp lined up perfectly, but that's okay because it'll barely be noticeable
by the time I'm done.


Next, I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Bandana Paper Pack. . .Pink for me, please! Because a pink bandana and a bunch of birthday cows go together like peanut butter and jelly!

Well. . . actually, I cut two pieces to make it work for my slimline card. The first piece is cut to 3" x 6" and the second piece is cut to 3" x 2". I also cut a piece of black cardstock to 3.25" x 8.25" so I could have a little border around the bandana paper.


Next, I colored up the super cute cows from the Cow Party Stamp Set and then cut them down so I could adhere them to black cardstock so there would be a small border around them, too.

To put my card together, I adhered the Scratchy Plaid piece to a piece of black cardstock that measures 2.5" x 6.5".

I adhered the Bandana paper to the black cardstock and then adhered the Scratchy Plaid background on top, making sure it was centered.

Next I adhered the cows to the black squares and added some foam squares to the back of that and adhered it to the Scratchy Plaid panel.  I offset them from center just a little bit.

Then I adhered the whole panel to the front of a white notecard that measures 3.5" x 8.5" and that finishes up my card!
