The Stamping Owl

Happy February!  Here are the cards from my On the Farm class.  All of the cards feature the Flowers & More designer series paper from the new mini catalog (stampin’ rewards item, pg. 90) plus something from the farm (little pigs, geese, carrots) and a princess or something for girl’s day.  Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.  Thanks for stopping by!

Card 1: Silly Goose

This card features the Silly Goose stamp set along with the Flowers & More designer series paper (DSP).  It is a panel card and instead of making each panel the same size, the left panel was sized larger (3 ¼” wide) to feature more of the DSP.  The layering circles dies were used to cut out the white and blackberry bliss circles.  Only attach the circles to the left side panel—you can secure using dimensionals.  Having the hearts thought bubble helps to finish it off-from the Conversation Bubbles Bundle.  Note: The image of the goose in the inner tube also fits in the circle.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Silly Goose (available in cling of photopolymer), Conversation Bubbles*
• Dies: Layering Circles, Conversation Bubbles*
• Flowers & More Designer Series Paper (mini catalog stampin’ rewards choice) 3 x 4”
• Fresh Freesia cardstock 4 ¼ x 11”, scored at 3 ¼” and 8 ¾”
• Blackberry Bliss cardstock, die cut using 2 7/8” circle
• Basic White cardstock, die cut using 2 5/8” circle, plus scrap for hearts bubble (1 x ¾” finished)
• Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins – Petal Pink, 3 small and 3 large
• Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia; Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate
• Ink Pads: Memento Tuxedo Black, Fresh Freesia

* Available as a bundle for 10% off

Card 2: Birthday Piggy

This cute little pig is sending birthday wishes from his scooter.  The circle window is cut out of the card front and then nests with the matching circle size attached inside the card.  The inside layer also features a Z-fold (see photo below for assembly).  The die used to cut out the pigs was originally available during a special in September 2022, but now is available on the Clerance Rack at a discount while supplies last.  If you don’t have the dies, you can just cut it out using snips.  Note: The little pig with the cake and balloon also fits the circle.

Assembly tips:

• Before cutting the circle from the card front, attach the DSP but only secure it along the outside edges. Then cut out the circle using the 2 7/8” sized die.  You can then separate the DSP from the Starry Sky cardstock.
• For the white cardstock that will go on the inside of the card, fold on the scored marks forming a Z-fold (see photo). Then attach it to the inside of the card.
• Close the card so that you can see the white through the circle. Attach the Starry Sky circle that you cut out in the first step to only the right side of the white cardstock that is showing through the circle (the top Z fold).  Then when you open the card, the Z fold can fully open up.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: This Birthday Piggy
• Dies: Playful Piggy Dies (available on the Clearance Rack while supplies last), Layering Circles
• Flowers & More Designer Series Paper (mini catalog stampin’ rewards choice) 4 x 5 ¼”

Card 3: Happy Carrots

Who thought carrots could be cute?  Just add some faces and they are!  The carrots are from the Thanks a Bunch Sale-A-Bration stamp set and the faces are from the Taco Fiesta stamp set.  I just used 2 of the 5 facial expressions.  What can you add a face to next?

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Thanks a Bunch (FREE Sale-A-Bration $100 choice), Taco Fiesta
• Flowers & More Designer Series Paper (mini catalog stampin’ rewards choice) 3 x 4”
• Pale Papaya cardstock 5 ½ x 8 ½”
• Evening Evergreen cardstock 2 ¾ x 4 ½”
• Basic White cardstock 2 ½ x 4 ¼”
• Ink Pads: Pale Papaya, Pumpkin Pie, Parakeet Party, Evening Evergreen, Memento Tuxedo Black

Card 4: Princess/Happy Girls Day

Girls Day is coming up and this kokeshi doll princess brought back memories of girls day dolls—remember the ones in the glass case with their intricate kimono, hairstyles and adornments?  This is a much simplified version and was made using punches. 

• Tulip Builder Punch – For crown, face, and hair
• Vintage Bottle Punch – For body and dress

Place the face in the lower section of the tulip (not the middle).  You can draw or stamp it—I used a face from the retired Cute Fruit stamp set.  Then give her rosy cheeks using the light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend.

For the dress, I used a print from the Flowers & More DSP.  Get different looks by using another DSP print and different color hair, along with coordinating cardstock colors.  I cut a V neck using snips but you can make it rounded or another design.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set: Inspired Thoughts, Cute Fruit (this is a retired stamp set that I used for the face, you can also draw the face instead)
• Flowers & More Designer Series Paper (mini catalog stampin’ rewards choice) to punch bottle shape (dress)
• Basic White Cardstock 5 ½ x 8 ½”
• Basic Black cardstock 2 ¾ x 4 ¼”, scraps to punch 2 tulip petals (for hair)
• Crumb cake cardstock 2 5/8 x 4 1/8”
• Sweet Sorbet cardstock 2 1/8 x 5 ½”
• Petal Pink cardstock to punch tulip (for face) and bottle (for body)
• Gold Foil to punch tulip top only (for crown)
• Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins – Gold, 3 small and 3 large
• Memento Ink Pad Tuxedo Black
• Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker (if you draw the face)
• Stampin’ Blends Flirty Flamingo light (for cheeks)
• Tulip Builder Punch
• Vintage Bottle Punch
