Day at the Farm Series is on how to make cards with just the papers without the coordinating stamps or dies. These papers are one of the options you can get for free during Sale-a-bration from 5 January – 28 February 2023 subject to a qualifying order of £45 excluding shipping/handling.
The On the Farm Bundle is on page 34 of the January-April 2023 mini and you may wish to purchase it. The bundle price is £48.50 which qualifies for these free papers. However, the stamps and dies may not appeal to you. I thought it would be a good idea to show case these papers using alternative stamps and dies or punches to make equally stunning cards without the coordinating bundle.
Cycling is such a popular pastime these days. Often on weekends we see cyclists out en masse in the countryside and this sheet from the Day at the Farm DSP is just perfect for this card.
