Cutest Cows Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class we made this fun Easter card.

The cute critters are the stars of the show in spring colours.

Both the bunny and sentiment are from the Choose Happy Stamp Set. With the tiny chick from the Cutest Cows Stamp Set and the grass from the Darling Dinos Stamp Set.

Two out of three of these sets are on the Last Chance Products list. Make sure you grab them while you still can.

To create this project, the rabbit was stamped in Pecan Pie, the chick in Crushed Curry and the grass in Old Olive.

These made the background piece and the animals were coloured using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.

Once everything had been coloured and ‘set’ with a Blender Pen, the project was given a grassy hue using a Blending Brush and Lemon Lime Twist ink.

Lemon Lime Twist was again used for the sentiment that was layered onto punched Circles. These punches can be found in the Online Exclusives range.

A few chicks were stamped onto the sentiment piece too.

Lengths of Basic White Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack were stuck across the centre with the sentiment raised above this on Dimensionals.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa and Card & Cupa for Children classes, I designed a cute project using the Cutest Cows Stamp Set and matching Punch.

For the layer, centre circle and grass, I chose Granny Apple Green. The stamping of the cow and the sentiment was in the In Color Pebble Path. All other stamping was in Basic Gray.

Firstly, the sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue was stamped, followed by the tufts of grass. A Blending Brush then added some colour to create a grass effect.

Next, three circles were punched, two out of Basic White and one out of Granny Apple Green. The Circle Punches are part of the Online Exclusives range.

Sunflowers, churns and chickens were stamped onto the two Basic White circles.

On a separate piece, the cow was stamped, and then cut out using the Cutest Cows Builder Punch. To make things easier for punching, I lined up all of the cow pieces, head, body and horns (not used on my sample) on one block.
