Cow Cuties

I have made a birthday card with an adorable set of cows, with a Simon Says Stamp stamp/die set, from their Every Happiness release!...

These cow are truly so stinkin' cute!  After die cutting a BUNCH of these guys(and girls), I chose to use four of them to line my mini slimline card for a money carrying birthday gift.  Mini slimlines are the perfect length for dollar bills.  I added a die cut grass, but had to extend the die cutting for the length of the card, by putting the cut grass twice through my die cutting machine by placing the die at the very end of the first die cut, and running it through the second time...thus extending the length of the grass.  Hope that makes sense.  Below is a picture with the money...

and a close up...

Thank You in a Stencil

I have made a card with a new Thank You die I just fell in love with...

I found this A Pocket Full of Happiness die while going on one of my frequent searches through the Simon Says Stamp store one night!  I loved the lines on this thank you!  I paired it with the Simon Radiating Squares stencil...loving the lines on the stencil to "go" with the sentiment.  I used a rainbow of papers and inks to die cut and blend color.  I hand cut the middle 8 squares  out of the stenciled cardstock, and popped it up on the 4"x6" card.  The sentiment is layered.  I used two hearts from the Stacked Hearts die...loving the outline of the hearts to go with the outline of the "thank you" sentiment!  Here's a close up... 

This was lots of fun!!
