Howdy! Nancy, here. Lately, I have been spending too much time in our barn bottle feeding a calf and during that time, dreaming up of a barn shape template for my next cards. Here are two barn shaped cards with fun farm animals and good ole home grown vegetables inside each card.
Supplies:
Simple Stories Vintage Farm House Garden Package of die cut
Simple Stories Vintage Garden Bits and Pieces Package of die cuta
Popsicle Sticks
Cream Cardstock
White ruffled ribbon
Prima Marketing Redesign Decor Brass Wax and Brown Acrylic Paint
Instructions:
1. Cut out 2 front barn doors 2" x 1 3/4" . Cut out 1/4" strips of cream cardstock and glue the strips around the barn doors and in the center.
2. Paint two popsicle sticks with brown paint and then sponged on a little Prima Marketing Brass wax. I used a wire cutter knife and cut each stick through the center lengthwise but scissors would work. Then cut again with scissors or the wire cutter a 6" strip, 4 strips measuring 1/2" long and 1/4" wide. Don't stress about getting the exact measurements and a perfect straight lines for the popsicle sticks since this is a rustic barn.
3. Score in the center a 12" cream cardstock. Lay out the template and put the bottom left side of the barn on the score line and cut out the barn. Adhere glue to the bottom half of the barn and lay the flowery paper on the glue and then cut out the sides. It is easier to do this than measuring and trying to get a good fit.
4. Take the Graphic 45 Farm House sticker border and adhere across the barn.
5. Cut out strips of 1/4" wide strips and glue around the top of the barn with a little bit sticking out from each side.
6. Take the Graphic 45 Farm House sticker and stick to the center of the bottom of the barn.
7. Use glue to adhere the 6" x 1/4" painted popsicle strip across the barn.
8. Adhere the 4 hinges made from the 1/2" long and 1/4" wide popsicle sticks to the tops of the barn door. Adhere the other 2 hinges to the center of each door.
9. Add 3D pop up dots or 3D strips to the back of each door and glue to the hinges and adhere to the card.
10. Add NUVO Ebony Black dots to the hinges.
Inside:
1. Adhere glue to the top half of the barn and lay the poke-a- dot black paper on the glue and then cut out the sides.
2. Cut out a 3" x 5" of Graphic 45 Farm House wheat pattern paper and the black wired pattern paper. Score each in half down the width, fold and use your bone tool to get a strong center score. I have a rectangle die that cuts out a 2 1/4" x 5" window. Otherwise, you can just draw and cut out on the score line a 2 1/4" x 2 1/2" length rectangle with scissors. Take the wheat pattern paper and glue to the center of the bottom of the barn. Take the wired black pattern paper and glue on the sides to the end of the wheat pattern paper for the tunnel. I made a tutorial on how to do insert tunnel cards by clicking HERE.
3. Cut out 3" x 3" Graphic 45 Farm House flowery red paper and glue on each end.
4. Cut out a 4" white ribbon and I used 1/4" Scor-Pal double sided adhesive tape to tape the top of the ribbon behind the window. I adhered the Simple Stories Vintage die cuts to the inside and outside of the tunnel.
5. I cut out 4" x 2" cream cardstock and folded it in half. I adhered with glue behind a Simple Stories Vintage Stories Garden die cut and glued to the right side of the card for my sentiment.
6. I added the Lawn Fawn Hay There stamp "Happy Birthday" "From the Whole Herd" to the Graphic 45 Sticker and stuck it to the top of the barn on the inside.
7. I cut out a 1 1/4" x 1 3/4" Graphic 45 wheat pattern paper, added the 1/4" wide cream strips and a Graphic 45 baby chicken sticker to this window. I glued the moss on the bottom of the window to look like hay.
8. I added the wind mill and cow die cut from the Simple Stories Vintage Farm house package.
