Day at the Farm Series – Pt 4 of 4

This is the final episode of the Day at the Farm Series. The Day at the Farm Designer Series Papers are free during Sale-a-bration from 5 January – 28 February 2023. The purpose of this series was to show you how you can use these papers without having to have the coordinating stamps and dies which compliment the papers. You can make equally interesting cards with your own stash.

Sometimes one side of the DSP is not your taste, but the reverse side might be. I wasn’t particularly enamoured by the farm animals on the reverse of this sheet but really liked the Cherry Cobbler tartan look. I paired this one with two other bundles – Something Fancy and Lighting the Way to make a “thank you” card.

The bee was stamped with a rock & roll technique. You ink up the entire stamp in the lighter colour, then just ink up the edges of the stamp my rolling the outer edges in the darker ink to create this effect.

The purpose of this series was to illustrate that if you don’t love the stamps and its coordinating dies which goes with the free papers, you can still get the papers but use whatever you have in hand to make pretty cards, so I hope you’ve enjoyed this series as much as I have in making them. Thank you for visiting.
