Category: Stitched All Around

On the Farm

This is my Father’s Day card for my dad.  I used all kinds of stuff to make this card!  The stamps are MFT Animal Farm and the sentiment is Stampin Up’s Stitched All Around.  Those cute clouds are Karen Burniston’s Outdoor Scenes. The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Crumb Cake with Old Olive patterned paper.

Inside features the Karen Burniston Tree Pop Up and the House & Fence Pop Up.  I fashioned the house to match our farm house by stenciling the background with a brick stencil very lightly – going for the look of stone.   The grass is also from the Outdoor Scenes die.

I made a few simple boxes to pop up some of the animals and some are attached directly to the back.  I had to trim the tree (!) so the horse could peek through!  And  yes, we raise black angus cattle so the poor dairy cow had to have a make over!

The sentiments are from Stampin Up’s Another Wonderful Year and Truly Tailored (retired.)  This is when I realize I’ve used a birthday sentiment!!  So in the final version I’ve covered up the birthday part with Happy Father’s Day!  Sheesh!  Hugs, Fran
