Happy 4th of July Tractor & Co


Happy 4th of July!  Hope you all are having a safe and wonderful 4th!

This card was made using the recently released Tractor & Co bundle #166113 online exclusive.

The card starts with a Blackberry Bliss cardstock card base, followed by a Mossy Meadow cardstock panel.  The top panel is from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP).

The tractor and trailer were cut out using Two-Tone Garden Green cardstock. The seat and top of the tractor were cut out using Basic Black cardstock.  Smoky Slate and Basic Black cardstock were used for the wheels. The entire tractor and trailer assembly was adhered onto the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The hay was stamped in Crushed Curry onto Basic White cardstock and then cut out with the coordinating Tractor & Co die.

The chickens were stamped in Pecan Pie and Daffodil Delight onto Basic White cardstock and then cut out using the coordinating die.

The banners were cut out using the banner die included in the Tractor & Co dies and then colored using Real Red, Night of Navy and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends.

The red and white stripes on the flag were made using Take A Bow DSP, which is currently on the Last Chance list.  Blueberry Bushel cardstock and newly released White Shimmer Star Foam Stickers #166202 were used to make the blue and stars for the flag.  A thin piece of Early Espresso cardstock was used for the flag pole.
Here's a look at the inside of the card.

The tractor front has been stamped in Garden Green ink, the wheels in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the chicken in Crushed Curry.  All of the images are from the Tractor & Co stamp set.
 
I hope you enjoyed my card for today!

Irresistible Designs Birthday

Have you seen the Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP)?  It is located on page 116 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog.  I think it is one of the best hidden gems in the new catalog.

The Irresistible Designs Specialty DSP has UV-coated patterns that resist ink, making it perfect for emboss-resist techniques. It's the easiest way to get a heat-embossed look, with no embossing powder or heat tool needed!  All you do is apply ink, like I did for this card, and the pattern pops out!

To make this card, the following colors were applied using a Blending Brush; Summer Splash, Fresh Freesia, Strawberry Slush, Granny Apple Green, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.

The raised flowers were made using the Impressions Abloom dies along with Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Cherry Cobbler Two-Tone DSP.

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and has been stamped in Secret Sea ink onto Basic White cardstock.

The front panel was adhered to a Basic White cardstock panel which was then adhered to a Timid Tiger cardstock card base.

Iridescent Faceted Gems were added for accent.
Here's a peek at the inside of the card.

The Basic White cardstock panel was adhered to a slightly larger Timid Tiger cardstock panel and then adhered onto the card base.

The sentiment has been stamped in Secret Sea ink and is from the retired Sunny Sentiments stamp set.

The flower is from the Impressions Abloom stamp set and has been stamped in Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry and Early Espresso ink.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today!
