Welcome to Stamp It Group’s Spring Fling Blog Hop!
I’m so excited for you to be here today with us! My name is Mikki Winebrenner and I have a super fun spring theme card for you today using Cutest Cows Bundle.
Be sure you leave a comment below for a chance to win a Stampin’ Up Confetti Birthday Card Kit!
I was having a hard time coming up with anything spring. Here in Iowa it’s nice, warm and sunny with no snow, absolutely not normal for February! Still a bit skeptic that it will stay “Spring Like”. But the birds are singing, no shoveling required and the dogs are happy to be outside playing.
Thinking on spring and being outside with the doggo’s I see new buds blooming here and there, some new grass attempting to come through and this gave me the idea of using the Cutest Cows Bundle for a spring theme. Spring is all about new life coming to bloom, which includes those adorable calf’s we see in the fields!
For this card all you need is:
Cutest Cows Bundle, Meandering Meadows 6”x6” DSP, Balmy Blue, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green Cardstock and Ink, Basic White Cardstock, Tuxedo Black Ink, Stampin Blends and Liquid Glue.
There is a full list of supplies below with links to the products.
Measurements for the paper are a little different than normal . The card I did is a bit larger then a standard, the good news there is you can use an A6 envelope if you don’t want to make one!
The measurements are:
Balmy Blue 8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock: 6-1/4” x 9” scored at 4-1/2”
DSP: 4-1/4” x 6” and scrap pieces for the lettering
Garden Green and Granny Apple Green 8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock: 3” x 6”
Basic White 8-1/2” x 11” Cardstock: 4-1/4” x 6” and scraps for the cows and sentiment.
I am very much a visual person and have the process of the card coming together here for you in a gallery so you can come back and reference it as you need to. I tried to give little details on what is happening in each picture.
I also included a couple of tips for you that I have found make things a little simpler.
I have a downloadable PDF for you with step by step instructions, a full supply list and a couple of photos. You can download that at anytime and it is always free for your use!
Hopefully I have inspired you today and gave you warm Spring thoughts!
I’ve really enjoyed “hopping” with you all!

Love the cows
What a cute card! I love the way you broke out your post to show all the special tips!!! How kind of you! I love this adorable little set but have been concerned about using it because of all the little pieces. Is it difficult to make cards with? Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you so much! I have not found it difficult to use the punch. I did discover that the punch only coordinates with one of the bodies but all the heads work fine. I hope that makes sense! Don’t hesitate to reach out with any further questions!
Love the cows.
How adorable. Such detail. Reminds me of the time my husband and I lived on a ranch and raised cattle.
