Begin by cutting all the card pieces from the linked Cricut file. For this card, I also used an adorable highland cow rubber stamp I purchased from a craft store. In the project file, I included an alternative print-then-cut-image that could be substituted.
First, let’s put together the card’s background. Start by adhering the Candy Pink rectangle to the front of the Sorbet Yellow half-fold card using a tape runner. Cardstock Warehouse’s half-fold cards, available in so many shades, are a wonderful option to save time cutting and scoring. Then glue down the first plaid piece in the beautiful Stardream Azalea shade, followed by the Lavender piece. The springy-plaid background of this simple card is now complete.
Moo-ving right along to the adorable highland cow. Stamp the image of your choice on the scalloped circle. If you don’t have a similar rubber stamp for this step, you can use the print-then-cut option provided in the Cricut file.
Next, using liquid glue, glue together the five pieces of the flower crown in the following order (listed bottom to top) – Candy Pink, Park Green, Azalea, and Lavender. I love the layered look of this sweet flower crown. Glue it on top of the cow’s head – it’s a perfect fit!
Using liquid glue, adhere the white “Hello” script to the word bubble. This portion could easily be customized with any sentiment you desire. I also put some 1/8-inch foam tape on the back of the word bubble for some additional dimension on the card.
Complete this farmtastic spring card by gluing the scalloped circle to the front of the card, followed by the “Hello” word bubble. I just love how all the beautiful spring colors came together on this greeting card.
That’s all for this "udderly" adorable spring card! I’m even more excited for spring to start after making it.
