How cute is this cow? The Cutest Cows Bundle is fun and whimsical. I truly enjoyed creating this little scene. It evolved from this little cow, adding flowers and grass. I set out to use a white layer for my cow, and quickly decided he needed a soft cloud. It adds a little more fun and whimsy to the design.
I went through my Bundles, and found the fringe die from the Beautiful Balloons Bundle. It created a comfortable grass field… a natural match for the cow. He’s happy!
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
- Cut a Thick Basic White cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, and score at 4 1/4″ on the long side.
- The Crushed Curry patterned paper layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
- The Lost Lagoon strip for the fringe die is 1″ x 4 3/4″. The die fits perfectly on it. (Use your Paper Snips to trim along the top of the die cut grass).
- Stamp the cow and flowers onto white cardstock.
- I used Stampin’ Blends to add color to the stamped images.
- I punched the cow with the coordinating punch, and fussy cut the flowers.
- The cloud is die cut using the large cloud die from the Bright Skies Dies.
- Adhere the cloud to the card front, then adhere the grass strip by placing glue along the bottom edge.
- Adhere the cow and flowers tuckin them under the “grass”.
- I stamped the sentiment with Tuxedo Black Memento ink directly to the top of the cloud.
I die cut a smaller cloud for the inside sentiment.
Putting this card together was a change for me, and I enjoyed every minute. I went out of my usual box and had fun with a new Bundle. There was a reason Cutest Cows was on my “A” list of products from the Mini Catalog. Now I understand why. My card today is only a small sample of what you can do with this Bundle.
So, how cute is this cow? I know you’ll have just as much fun as I did creating your unique scene. A card base, some coloring tools, and a cute little cow is all you need to send some whimsy to someone special.
… the only limitation is your imagination!

I really like the way you used the cloud as a backdrop! That can be used for a lot of different projects.
Thank you, Barbara. I originally had a rectangle and the thought of the cloud came to mind. I like it, too. Yes, you can use it for a lot of designs… a new “layering” die. :}
Absolutely adorable! Cows are my favorite! The cloud idea is great!
Monica, I had so much fun with this one. I love the cloud background, too. It was one of those times I surprised myself. 🙂 Thank you for your kindness always.
