Hi all.
I have taken the "
Down on the Farm" set from SVG Attic and turned it into a cute birthday card. My 6 year old son liked it so much he asked if I would save it for his birthday and if he could now have a farm themed birthday part. We'll see but in the meantime let me share what I made and how I made it.
I took the barn from the set and down sized it to 6 inches and then I copied and pasted the identical barn right next to the first one. I then overlapped the two barns just slightly. I lost the one overhang on the barn roof but that's okay because the brown frame hangs over some when you glue it on so you don't notice.
I brought all the other parts into Sure Cuts A Lot and made sure they fit over the bard. I set all the other parts of the front of the barn at 6.00 inches for width.
I glued everything onto the red barn before gluing it onto the white cardstock because I had some cutting to do. I put the criss/cross pattern on the barn doors but then I had to use my x-acto knife to cut around the edges so the doors opened. I left a slight gap when gluing the criss/cross pattern on because I knew I would need to slice between the doors.
I found a great way to give ordinary paper some texture. I put on thin lines of Sctoch's quick drying glue and then rubbed it as it started to dry.
I cut my chicken at 1.250 inches so she's fit in the loft window.
I cut my cow at 2.130 inches in width. The word bubble is from the Sure Cuts A Lot program and it's shape library.
My cow was so small that I had to draw the inside of his ears and spots on.

Hope you enjoyed my farm themed birthday card as much as I enjoyed making it and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Great card, such amazing detail. TFS.

ReplyDeleteI am DESPERATELY seeking a barn card and came across this post. Unfortunately the Down on the Farm site is no longer active. Is there any way that I can get the barn card template that you created? I'm very new to creating cards using my Gazelle and honestly don't know how to edit svgs but I'm under a time restraint as someone has asked me to make a wedding card of a barn (getting married in a barn). I'm at a loss!! I'm happy to give you my email address or if you can point me in the right direction, that will work as well. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how to get back to you so I'm hoping you'll see this. Here is the link to this set and it's on sale right now too! http://www.svgattic.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=266
DeleteI am desperate to find a barn card and came across your blog. Unfortunately the original Down on the Farm SVG is no longer available and I'm unable to locate another barn card. Is there a way that I could obtain the SVG of the card that you created? I'm fairly new to card making, especially with my Gazelle and honestly am not sure how to edit/manipulate the SVGs. I'm under a time crunch as my sister volunteered me to make a wedding card for her boss to give to someone (the person is getting married in a barn), so I'm under pressure and getting a bit frustrated. ha I'm happy to give you my email address if you could provide the file to me or if you can direct me to where I can purchase the SVG. Thank you so much!
