Howdy cowgirls!! How are y'all today!? I hope you're having a lovely day so far, full of sunshine and laughter! Today, I'm up on the Doodlebug Blog with a project featuring an older collection – called Down on the Farm! It's ADORABLE and happy and fun! So many cute themes from this collection and it's perfect for scrapbooking too! Farm animals and gingham and florals…country themed for Summer!! I have several friends who have horses and love horses, so I decided to go with a horse themed card and gift box for my project today. Yee haw!
My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with gingham, floral paper and white paper. Then I attached a pocket for a gift card! The gift box was made with the WRMK Pillow Box Punch Board and that can hold candy, or money or a small gift! I think the little pillow boxes would be cute as favors for a country party too!
Here is the card – with a little paper bandana tucked inside with the coffee gift card! F-U-N!
And here's the little pillow box gift box! I made the box from blue patterned paper and then wrapped a strip of bandana paper around it. I used my awesome Deckle Edge Trimmer (supplies listed at the bottom of my post) to trim the edges of the bandana paper. I wrapped it with some chunky twine and glued on the horse embellishment!
When I attached the pocket to the front of the card I used foam tape only around the perimeter. That left the top open to tuck in the gift card. I glued the flowers to the inside of the pocket before attaching it to the card. The little paper bandana was made from a square of paper that I hand crumpled. The pocket was cut from one of the 12×12 papers in the collection and it's the perfect size for the front of a card.
I attached the cute horse Doodle Pop to the front of the pocket and then added the 'howdy' word bubble. Since it's not specific, this could be a birthday card, grad card or just because card!
Thanks, cowgirls, for stopping by today! Hope you have a happy and fun day today! I'll see you back here real soon, ya hear! XOXO
