Funny Farm Birthday Cards! | CraftyPaws

Today I’m sharing a couple of funny punny birthday cards I made with the Joy! Crafts “At the Farm Animals – Horse Rabbit” and “At the Farm Animals – Pig Sheep” stamp sets as a design team project for Topflight Stamps.

These farm animal stamp images are very realistic so they could certainly stand on their own without any coloring, but I wanted to add a hint of coloring so that they would coordinate with the patterned papers I wanted to use on these cards. So I used the following Copic colors to color up the sheep and pigs:
Sheep: N0, N1 and E000
Pigs: Y000, Y11, Y13, E01, N2
All the patterned papers are from a 6 x 6 My Mind’s Eye “Moments” paper pad (retired). And to give a nice finished look, I lightly inked the edges of all the paper pieces with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke.

Next I fussy cut all the critters and inked the edges with a Tuxedo Black Momento Marker. This freed me up to position them exactly where I wanted to, which was in round windows die cut from hand cut pennant banners using Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Stackable Dies. For a little interest and dimension, I layered and popped up the pennants on double sided foam adhesive over a blue damask patterned paper that I customized with small orange dots using a Tim Holtz Distress Marker in Riper Persimmon. Lastly, I added another layer of foam adhesive before I placed the whole assembly on a simple floral card front.

For the silly sentiment banners, I simply used a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen on black card stock. For the pig card, I wrote, “It’s Your Birthday! Go Hog Wild!” and inside the card, I printed out on my computer, ” “It’s Party Time! Let’s Pig Out!” for the card liner. For the sheep card, I wrote, “Happy Birthday to Ewe!”

I’m so glad I got to replenish my birthday card stash with these Joy! Crafts farm animals. I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed crafting these punny cards. The following is a process video of crafting these cards:
