Barnyard Buddies Card with Catherine

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here! Today, I am sharing a peek-a-boo birthday card created with the adorable Barnyard Buddies Stamps!

To start, I masked off 3” from the bottom of A2 white cardstock. I ink blended the unmasked part with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide using a cloud stencil made with Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. Next, I removed the mask and I lightly ink blended the bottom of the background panel up to 1 ½” with Mowed Grass Distress Oxide. I splattered the grass with some green watercolour for interest.

To make the barn, I used the gingerbread house shadow die in Gingerbread House Dies. I die cut two shadows out of white cardstock and I trimmed one shadow for the roof (B).  To make the barn doors, I used a craft knife and cut the openings as shown in the solid lines (A). I scored the door hinges (dotted lines).

For the barn door braces (C), I trimmed white cardstock to the following sizes:
Vertical Strips: ¼” W x 2” H (total 4 pieces- 2 per door)
Horizontal Strips: ¼”W x 1 ¾”H (total 4 pieces- 2 per door)
Crosses: ¼” W x 1 ¾”H ( total 4 pieces- 2 per door)

I added a barn window with a small 7/8”W x 1” H die that I had in my stash.

Using a scoreboard, I made horizontal lines across the barn (A) for a wood effect. I then, ink blended the barn with Barn Door Distress Oxide. I adhered all the pieces of the barn together.

Next, I stamped and die cut the images from Barnyard Buddies Stamps. I added a wagon from Harvest Mice Stamps, hay from Farm Fresh Stamps, presents from Holiday Express Stamps and Cozy Christmas Stamps, and a party hat from Purrfect Birthday Stamps. I colored the images with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below.

I adhered the animals onto the background panel and then I adhered the barn onto the panel with foam tape. I adhered the wagon, presents, party hat, chick, and hay onto the barn. I finished off the card with some bunting from Balloon Rides Stamps and White Heat Embossed sentiments from Inside Greetings Birthday Stamps and Barnyard Buddies Stamps.
