Cutest Cows- Cow Shed

5/24/2024 Friday Cutest Cows- Cow Shed 

WOW! We made it to another Friday. Where is the week’s going it’s crazy how fast it goes. 

Happy TGiF! I have a really cute fun card today. If you have followed me for long you know I have a thing with putting balloons on the animals tails.. LOL! No clue why either but it’s just what happens when I am creating! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too cute, right!?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inside…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unless you zoom in you’re not going to see the score lines. I think! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So the Balloons and the Pennant are die pieces from the Fun Filled (wagon set). 

I’’m giving you my pattern and showing you a red piece as well, I will tell you here what I started with and you can we my note, keeping it real here. 

I started with a 2 3/4” x 4 1/2” piece in Basic White you know I do patterns like this. 

Then I score every 1/2” to get the seams, to kind of look like Barn/Shed side view. 

That was my original idea, then I created the card around the shed. 

Also a quick note the 2 3/4” was to wide I  didn’t like the 1/4” out there on the end, so I cute it back to 2 1/2” x 4 1/2” to make it even when scored. 

To get the angle I just measured down 1” on the one side then trimmed with the paper trimmer at an angle from that little 1” mark to the edge of the other top side. 

Any questions just send a comment.  See photo below. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The one on right is my prototype/pattern, it’s a photo of back where I made notes on size… 

Alright that is it for today and the end of this week. Have a fantastic weekend stay safe out there and meet you back here on Monday!

Wacky Wednesday #20

5/22/2024 Wednesday- WW#20 - Makeup! 

Hi! Sorry, I have been down with a stomach flu and man it’s knocked me out of it. I don’t have all my pictures ready for posting. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Group Photo it is hard to get a great shot for you to realize how cool it really is . I‘m  calling this bouncy front card! LOL!  If you mail this is will be extra for the bulk/thickness… Just telling you  now up front. 

But a very fun card. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This kinda of shows you how it sits up on top. The working piece, I will share with you at the end my pattern. I made the Cow card a little smaller, to fit the layered pieces better. I will tell you that the working piece works best when it is close to the size of the front piece  to make it more stable. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s water color paper and I made this for a good friend of mines sister for her 60th. Birthday. I forgot to photo before I wrote inside so you can’t see inside but it’s got let’s eat cake inside of it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This shot shows you the working/ bouncy piece here. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cow, card #2 I colored the Sunflowers like that cards I shared on Monday. But no sequins on this one. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wagon, is full of wink of Stella… Bling, bling! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inside….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So here is the pattern, this size I used on the Zinnia and the Wagon.  

But I only changed the 4 1/4” size which looking at this photo would be top to bottom the 5 1/2” says the same and you score both ends at the 1/2”, 1”, 1- 1/2” mark .. Remember it is the size of the piece you will put on top of this .

Also a note here*** The wagon card, where you see the DSP is backed with the same size piece of card stock to make it more sturdy. 

This next view isn’t the treated to see the fold but for it to stand up I had to spread it some. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those end pieces, that first score there, it gets tucked so you make like an accordion for it. I recommend always to check placement, movement before gluing anything in place…

The things you can create are endless… Enjoy! 

Here is one more group photo. Any questions shoot me a comment… 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alright there you go a little bit late, but I had already preset Fridays post so that’s good news. 

It’s a holiday weekend, be safe and see you on Monday! Thank you for stopping by.

Wacky Wednesday #18

5/8/2024 Wednesday- Makeup! WW#18

Hi there! Well this fun fold i did the first time way back in 3/2021 for an Easter Kit I did… So I decided to revisit it. No name just fun fold… LOL 

Group Photo first then individual cards. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alright, there you go that is the fun fold for this posting. If you’re wondering how I made the COW SPOTS, this last photos should explain it fully. 

but just in case I will tell you this is Hearts & Hugs, stamp set these little missing belly pieces are on the other side, when i was putting this stamp set together and pulling out the little belly pieces, my mind went tight to spots or Cow spots, so I  know I wanted to keep these and use them on a card. As you see in the photos I did this on the last card here. 

 

I will give you a few measurements for this card. 

The card base is two pieces. 

1- 4 1/4”x 5 1/2” - you will adhere tow strips to this card base 1”x 4” in size see photos. You MUST attach these pieces, before you all the folded piece. 

1- 4” x 11” score at 2”, 3 3/4”, 7 1/4”, 9” this will get attached to the other base piece. 

Top pieces:

Layer 3 3/4”x 3 3/4” square

White or top piece 3 1/4”x 3 1/4” square 

 

inside white 3 1/4”x 3 3/4” decorate how you like 

DSP 2 - pieces 4”x 1” See photos.. 

Okay that’s it.. thanks for stopping by, hope you like the fun folds here.

Wacky Wednesday #17

5/1/2024 Wednesday- Makeup! WW#17

Hello! Well, I’ve given this a lot of thought. I’m gonna change things up for May and see if things are better for me. I‘M struggling as you can see to keep up with 5 days a week posting and my life and re-hurting my shoulder. 

I’m going to post Monday, Wednesday, Friday for the month of May, I will finish makeup within the next two days. 

This Wacky Wednesday is slider cards… I will share my pattern after at bottom. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Group Shot first, this is an assortment for sure. The Hey Chuck, I threw in there to show you. It’s my original card long time ago. The PP card is not a A2, it’s a large cards needs a special made envelope. I got this size from another demo, I need to make a new pattern for A2 size. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little pocket to hold gift card. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This one is no pocket, just decorative DSP on the bottom. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This card I need to rework the size, it’s NOT an A2 card. It’s BIG….

Two Quick Cards

4/30/2024 Tuesday- Quick cards! 

 

So remember Wednesday the 5 cards I shared with you using some fun new packs from the new catalog and I said I made a few more but used my own card stock instead of the preprinted cards and envelopes. 

These little items are going to be fantastic for fast cards, simple cards, scrapbooking you name it. I can think of lots of things to do. Keep in mind, you can’t always please everyone saying. 

I’m positive not everyone will like all the images, but you will have plenty to work with and be creative with. I’m gonna share one photo of all five at the end from the other day and you will have all right here to see. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay so you can see very simple but too cute… I used the embossing folder that is an exclusive item, but I think it’s now unavailable. It was a 3 pack… We’ve had for sometime. One of my very favorites…. 

I added a few words and come gems and there you go… 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alrighty! there you go… Hope you enjoyed them. I hope everyone will look at them as soon as the catalog is Live-  Easy Peasy!  Enjoy see you tomorrow with a fun fold.. WW#17 coming to you tomorrow.

So this is the Front and envelope.
