Instructions: 
Card size: 6 X 6”.  Cut 2 pieces of heavy weight ivory cardstock, 1 piece 12 X 6 and the other 6 X 6 1/2".  Score 6 1/2" panel at the 1/2" for a tab, making the panel 6 X 6.  Glue the 1/2" tab to the 6 X 12” piece.  Score the 12 X 6 at 6” making three 6” panels.  On the 2 outside panels die cut the inner decorative part minus the round and middle square parts.   Score each side at 3” and fold inward. Use the circle dies to make a plaid decorative paper circle to fit the 2 sides centers then cut another circle a bit smaller to create an animal scene, also cut half circles of green paper for grass, (horses on the left side and cows on the right side) Only circles on the right side are folded in half to be glued down, the circles on the left side is kept flat (it is good to reinforce with another ivory circle on the back.  Cut a plaid 5 7/8 X 5 7/8” for the back inside panel and another 5 1/2 X 5 1/2" with fence and rooster on the right side.  

Stamp barn, chickens, flowers, wheat stocks, horses, cows and fence using black, die cut and color. Stamp sentiment using black on ivory then die cut with small circle.  Sponge edges with Peanut Brittle.  Die cut a small circle of foam sheet for the sentiment.  Pop up horses with foam tape.

Stamp sunflowers using Peanut Brittle, sponge with Cantaloupe.  Stamp leaves with Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut flowers and leaves.  Shape leaves with mold, shape flowers with tools on a foam mat.  Squeeze petals at the ends.  Glue 2 flowers together for each flower then fill centers with Redland Elements.

To decorate panels: Starting with the inside back panel, glue barn to the left side, use pieces of foam tape to prop doors and window slightly open.  Glue chickens to the right and left of barn and flowers in front of fence.  Pop up sentiment with foam circle at the top right side of back panel.  Glitter the panel.

Right side panel: glue cows to decorative circles, cows will stick out over the folded center about 1”.  Glue some sunflowers and leaves to the top right side.  Glitter randomly.

Left side panel:  Glue the fence onto middle of circle, rooster on top of the fence post.  Glue the wheat stock in front of the fence on the right side.  Glue popped up hoses toward the center.  Glue more sunflowers and leaves to the bottom left corner.  Glitter randomly.

My second card features the horses (my biggest love)!!

For more ideas on creating with the 5 x 7 Decorative Frame Dies, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/qdBFA5VpmSo. 

Instructions: 
Card size: 4 3/4 X 6 3/4".  Score a piece of ivory cardstock (7 X 8 1/2") at 4 1/4” and fold (4 1/4"X 7”).
Use the outer die of the Elaborate Oval Frames Die to cut shaped card (see video), leaving top edge off the fold by about 1/2".  Cut the full front out of ivory and also from decorative paper.  Cut the outer  die with the large decorative Elaborate die at the same time out of ivory to make a frame for the card front.  Glue the full ivory front to the folded card base and then the decorative paper piece on top. (Do not glue the frame on until other die cuts are glued on later).  Make the stand by cutting 2 ivory Swirly Accents and 2 decorative paper Swirly Accents outer die.  Glue sets together then die cut the decorative part of the die set out of ivory, glue them on the decorative paper.  Glue one stand to the inside of the front (make sure stand and card base are straight and even when you do this part), glue the other stand part to the inside in back.

Die cut 2 Petite Pocket Accents and 2 narrow Petite Pocket Accents out of ivory, Cut small circle out of decorative paper (barn scene shown on this card) then cut another circle the same size from Foam Sheet.  Cut the next size up circle out of ivory.  Cut a tag from decorative paper.  Glue the wide and narrow Petite Pocket Accents top and bottom of card front spacing evenly.  Now glue the frame around outside edge.  Cut off any over hanging parts of the pocket accents.  Glue foam to center of card followed by ivory circle then the decorative circle.

Stamp horses using black, die cut then color.  Stamp Sunflowers using Peanut Brittle, sponge with Cantaloupe, die cut, shape.  Glue 2 flowers together for each flower then fill centers with Redland Elements.  Stamp Welcome on tag with black.  Stamp leaves using Fern Green then sponge with Leaf Green, die cut then form in the mold.

Add foam sheet to the part of horses that stick out off the circle and glue down onto card front.  Glue flowers and leaves to each side.  Tie a bow in the yellow ribbon and glue it and the tag up under the flower on the right side.  Glitter flowers and card base. (Tip: the ultrafine is what I use on the card bases, Rajni’s Crystal Clear on flowers).

Thanks for visiting!
