Today I'm excited to introduce you to our new Barnyard Buddies and Missing Ewe Stamps and Dies! I went through a "country" phase in the 90's where I was obsessed with cute cows and after that I received a million cows from thoughtful friends and family. While I have parted with most of my collection, I still have a soft spot for cute farm animals. ;)
I don't know why, but the entire time I was designing this set, I had in my mind that I wanted to stack the critters and they didn't disappoint. The set comes with a small section of fence that is great for repeating in scenes and using to layer in the distance.
For my next card I used the little barn from the set, along with my beloved cow to create a fun, punny card. To create a relatively flat card, I took turns masking off the sky line and dirt path before inking with my favorite jumbo dauber and distress inks. Then to add a bit of interest, I stamped a border of corn stalks and the grass image, using some companion stamps that come with the set. For my last finishing touch, I heat embossed the tiny white flowers and topped them with some Nuvo Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops. :)
To create my card I cut our Sun Ray Dies from masking paper and sponged on my rays using Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac distress ink, before going over the entire card with a light layer of spun sugar. I then cut the center out using Tonic's Scalloped Circle dies to form my shaker window.
The shaker elements on this card were cut out from glitter cardstock using a free mini star trio die that will automatically ship with each order placed on our website starting on July 21st (while supplies last).
Here's a full look at the new 4x6 Barnyard Buddies and 2x3 Missing Ewe clear stamps and coordinating dies available for purchase on Friday morning.

I can't wait to see the owls
ReplyDeleteI would love to see zoo animals!
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually too much into critters, but I totally LOVE your barnyard buddies!! They are so adorable! Had to think about what critters I'd like to see, but how about a couple more to go with these that would make a manger scene for Christmas?
ReplyDeleteSo happy to here you suggest that because it's something on my list for the next release. ;)
DeleteI love Carol H.'s suggestion about adding animals for a manger scene. These stamps are adorable and a Christmas scene would be a cute card for grand children.
DeleteI am so happy to see more critters - I LOVE animals! Since the holidays are coming up I would love to see some deer or a moose in upcoming sets! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love the word puns that accompany the sets. I love all the critters but design the stamps in a way that you change the facial expressions?
ReplyDeleteI love the little lambs, especially for baby cards. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI love critter stamps and especially farm themed! I went through a country phase too, I no longer decorate my house like that, but I still love making cards with cute critters! These sets are adorable!
ReplyDeleteWonderful new stamps and dies! I would love to see a funny rooster to go along with the Barnyard Buddies set.
ReplyDeleteLove these new animals - I would love to see a cut Koala bear:)
ReplyDeletethese are so cute!!! love the farm animals!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why, but I love little bugs and caterpillar stamps. I am new to your company so I would love to win a gift card to try some of these adorable stamps. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see sets that are proportional to others in your line. Makes if so easy to mix and natch elements to create unique cards!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see goats. I love cute farm animals and barns too.
ReplyDeleteI love the cutesy animals but I think it would be cool to see some more realistic ones too. A pretty humming bird would be awesome and I know there are some out there but, as a Gome of Thrones fan, I'd love to see some realistic dragon and wolves. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is a great release, as always! The owls are a Must!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! I'm so so so excited for this release! I've been intending to purchase a barnyard stamp set the past couple of weeks and I'm really excited I've waited because these are absolutely adorable! I just recently purchased your mermaid set and underwater creatures and I LOVE them. Thanks for your designs!
ReplyDeleteLove the Barnyard Critters and the sheep! Just adorable!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see an Ostrich and some Frogs.
So excited to see more!!!
Well, I love birds, which I know you have in some of your collections.
ReplyDeleteBut maybe a set with a variety of birds: an eagle, hummingbird, toucan, parrot, owl etc. Your cards are all so darling, Mendi.
Add flamingos to the list! I love birds too.
DeleteI love the barnyard animals.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I, too, went through the barnyard animal phase! My kitchen in the nineties was all cows with some chickens to accent. I also have let most of it go, but kept a few pieces, too. I still have my quite extensive collection of "Mary Moo Moo's" because they are just too cute. As for other animals, maybe some woodland critters such as squirrels, skunks, raccoons, chipmunks, deer, moose, or mice. Fall is a good time for those types of animals. Thanks for the inspiration and chance to win! :D
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! We're kindred spirits! I kept all my Mary's Moo Moos too! They're almost all in their boxes at this point, but I have over a hundred of them. ;)
DeleteAdorable cards. Love inspiration week.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see tropical birds and plants. They are so bright and colourful creatures.
I love cats! Can't go wrong with cute kitty designs!

ReplyDeleteI love the cute farm animals, and your cards are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBarnyard Buddies is such a cute set!! Looking forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteCute animals and cards! I can't think of a different animal that I like that you haven't already done. Have you done specific dogs like Labs? Different dinosaurs? whatever you design, it's a winner in my book ---- or card!
ReplyDeleteLove the faces on these animals, such cute expressions.
ReplyDeleteLove Sunny Studio designs. Such fun! Today's sneak peak no exception.
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving these sets, they are adorable. How about hummingbirds.

ReplyDeleteThe Miss Ewe stamp and die sets are just so adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the new baby card, it's adorable. Well, all the cards are beautiful, but of course there is always one which is a little favorite....
ReplyDeleteI love the Barnyard Buddies. Fantastic set and the cards are wonderful. I always love kitties and puppies.
ReplyDeleteThe Barnyard Buddies are adorable. Thank you for designing them. Monkeys are fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is a darling set.
ReplyDeleteLove the lambs jumping over the fence.
this would be good for adults as well
as babies - someone having trouble
sleeping would love it.
thanks for sharing.
Oh, my goodness Miss Mendi, I do believe you've outdone yourself once again. As a "girl" who grew up working on her uncle's farm, (I had a "thing" for geese in the 90s and my sister was partial to cute little piggies!!) I adore these sweet little critters. Your cards are beautifully done and even the "flat" card looks so multi-dimensional. Very nicely and creatively put together!! Thanks for sharing and I can see an order in my near future (but, shhhh...don't tell my hubby!! LOL). Have an awesome week! ~HUGS~
ReplyDelete#kindnessmatters
Oh, I am SO excited to see what goodies this week will bring. The new products shown today are absolutely wonderful!! LOVE the addition of the fence to the farm set! I think the hay bale and corn stalk will be great on harvest cards this fall. :) Thanks for sharing the cute cards and new products with us! What will you show us tomorrow?? :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to see jack rusell dogs😊
ReplyDeleteAdorable and fun stamps and cards! I'm partial to dogs and koalas, so either one would be great on a stamp set.
ReplyDeletethe barnyard scene is just darling.... and adding my fave, the sheep just steals the whole show!!!!
ReplyDeleteHedgehogs..... lots of hedgehogs. I think whoever drew your barnyard animals would make the cutest in hedgehogs!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet feedback. I love hedgehogs too. Right now I'm a one woman company so I design all the sets, create the cards for inspiration week and fulfill all the orders. ;)
DeleteFun sets and samples! I especially love the baby card with the sheep - adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe only animal I can think of right now is a dog...because my dog Lucy is sitting here crashed out and all cute. ❤️ You can't go wrong with cute puppies, right?!
I love your choices in animals. They are too cute! I also own many many Mary Moos. A Ltd of the Christmas ones also. Black and white cows were my addiction for many years. Not so much now, but I don't see me parting with them anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteThese little animals are so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteI happen to love all the animals (I married a farmer��) but I would love to see something cute with donkeys as they seem to be my very favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love all the animals but I'd really love to see some tropical animals like chameleons
ReplyDeleteThis set is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHow about an iguana?
ReplyDeleteYour critters have the cutest faces--I just had to have the reindeer last year! Since your color layering stamps are equally as awesome, have you ever considered doing a set of kitties in layers where you could do stripes or other patterns for the fur and paws? I also think you'd do amazing layering hummingbird and butterfly set!
ReplyDeleteChris L.

ReplyDeleteSuch cuteness! I would love to see you do an elephant set.
ReplyDeleteI love all the cute critters and would love to see hedge hogs! I love all of the samples and can't wait for the next release!

ReplyDeleteOh I love just love these! Definitely going top of my wish list. I could do with some Australian critters to make cards for my son and fiancée who've just been on holiday there and cats and kittens :).
ReplyDeleteDebra x

ReplyDeleteI love the barnyard buddies. I like the way you made the horse into a unicorn, without the horn!

DeleteOh how sweet are THESE cards and stamps! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe farm animals are too cute! Also, I think I spy an owl. Owls are my absolute favorite so I'm excited to see that set! My suggestion for another critter set would be hound dogs. I've seen lots of generic dog sets but I think some long, droopy hound dogs would be adorable :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Greetings from the Funny Farm card. I have friends who would find that really amusing.
ReplyDeleteLove your barnyard critters!
ReplyDeleteMendi! These are adorable!!! I love the sheep.

ReplyDeleteYour chicken stamp has to be the cutest one I've ever seen! Since you do such a fabulous job drawing birds, a peacock stamp would be fun.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh these are all so super cute, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the sentiment "welcome to the funny farm"! It made me laugh! I would love to see you make a creepy crawly stamp set! Spiders, worms, flies, all the good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more owls and maybe a series on dogs. like Great dane dogs, lab dogs, just different breeds and some mutts of course
ReplyDeleteThe Barn Yard Buddies and Missing Ewe stamps really are cute. I love the scenes and the stacked animals.

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable set. I would love to see some exotic and unusual animals (eg. safari/rainforest type).
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!! These farm critters are adorable!! I am so glad I do not have a set like these because this is a MUST HAVE! Love how cute they are - I think you would do equally well with lions, tigers, and bears - Oh my!!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a sheep/lamb set for a long time but haven't found one I like- until now. Can't wait to order. As for new animals- my sister is obsessed with pandas but I actually could have used a squirrel and chipmunk the other day.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a great release.
ReplyDeleteI adore the barnyard buddies and LOVE the cards that were created using those stamps. This is going on my wishlist for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love the darling cards you've created with thus fun set! So cute! I'd love to see a Coati as a stamp (and a waterfall!)
ReplyDeleteI really love the barnyard buddies! These cards are super cute! I would love to see a collection of different frogs and lizards or mythological creatures other than dragons, unicorns & fairies. I would love to see a collection with Griffin, Phoenix, centaur, faun, etc.
ReplyDeleteNice post! Like it. Look forward for your new post. Thanks! jute goods
