Howdy everyone! Wanda here, with another fun project made with the Down on the Farm Collection! Have you enjoyed all the farm projects? It's really great to work with an older collection and bring it back with some fresh and new ideas. All the elements and images in this collection are so happy and fun. Today I decided to make a Pop-Up Birthday card with that adorable barn and a cute cow and some chickens! Happy Birthday to MOOOOOO! This card came together easily with a Pop-Up card die, and the Chit Chat and Odds & Ends packs. I custom made an envelope, and this card fits flat for mailing or giving.
Here's a top down view of the card so you can see all the different papers and elements. I used green gingham for the 'ground' pieces and that pretty buffalo check for the outer shell of the card. I placed the barn in the back first, then the fence in front. Then I mixed and matched pieces until I got just the right look!
One tip - use a white gel pen on your design pieces to add a bit of a highlight!
This is the back of the card - with that sweet sentiment!
The whole card folds flat! You can put it right into an envelope. In this case, the barn and sun extend over the back of the card base. Because of that, I needed a bigger envelope. If you keep the elements inside the outer area of the card die then it would fit into an A2 envelope. It's fine with me, because I love to make custom, matching envelopes with the same papers from my cards.
Here is my fun envelope! It's a 6" x 6" square envelope. There's extra room so it doesn't get squished! I used the same cow and chickens on the envelope so it is totally custom.
I made a little envelope seal too!
As always, it's lovely to spend a little time with you here on the Doodlebug Blog! I'll be back soon! Until then, keep on crafting!
