It’s Your Special day Cutest Cows fun fold

 Happy Saturday and welcome back to the blog.  I'm so happy you are here.  I hope you will watch the video replay of how I put this card together over on my YouTube channel.  This week's focus is all about using those stamps you already have in your collection and maybe using them with something new.  You bought them, let's use them and make them new again by adding other items in your collection to make some really cute cards.  Today, we are using some stamps that were actually meant to be throw away pieces to make our "cow spots", along with an older Cutest Cows, newer Perfect Pairs (already on the last chance list) and some newly released dies.  I hope you like this card and how I mashed all these things together for a unique look.  



Measurement & Supplies:
Cow spots from inside pieces in Hearts & Hugs 163659 (but see what you have on hand.)  I like to keep these excess pieces.  You can always put them in a case with other inside red rubber pieces from other stamps just for future use anytime you need them.

Cutest Cows stamps 162892 & Cutest Cows Builder Punch 162896
Perfect Pairs stamp set 164898 (Last Chance item)
Around It All dies 164725 (can be purchased in a bundle for a 10% savings) (aka Wonk-a-doodle circles 😂)
Elements of Text stamps 164774
Blending Brushes
Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems 161288
Azure Afternoon cardstock for card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 1 1/4" & 4 1/4"
Basic White cardstock, 4 x 5 1/5", 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" & additional for stamping and die cutting
Ink Pads: Azure Afternoon, Granny Apple Green, Memento Tuxedo Black
Stampin' Blends alcohol markers: Lt Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Lt Azure Afternoon, Dk Petal Pink, Natural Tones Collection Medium Light SU 700

Well, that's it for today.  I sure hope you enjoyed what I shared.  Until next time; be happy, stay healthy and happy stamping!
