Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is “It’s All About the Kids.” We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I grew up a farm girl. My grandma and grandpa milked cows and raised chickens. We often went to their Green Acres Farm to help out or just run around. When I saw the Cutest Cows Bundle, I knew I just had to have it. This is one of those that I may not let go after it retires.
Begin with a 8 1/2 x 7 piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock. Score and fold at 3 1/2.
Adhere a 8 x 3 piece of Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Clear Block A to stamp the grass in Granny Apple Green Classic Ink onto a 7 1/2 x 2 1/2 piece of Basic White Cardstock.
Use a Clear Block G to stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto the Basic White layer as shown.
Adhere to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Stamp the three cow bodies, three cow heads, sunflowers, chickens, and milk can in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White Cardstock.
Use the Cutest Cows Punch to crop the coordinating two cow heads and one cow body.
Snip the remaining images closely with Paper Snips.
Color with the following Stampin’ Blends Combo Packs:
- Basic Black – spots, hooves, and sunflower centers
- Smoky Slate – shadows and milk can
- Petal Pink – snouts & tails
- Flirty Flamingo – ears
- Daffodil Delight – sunflower petals
- Pecan Pie – sunflower seed area
- Granny Apple Green – sunflower leaves
- Real Red, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Blueberry Bushel and Pretty Peacock – chickens
Adhere to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with small Basic Black Classic Matte Dots.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team.
Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on April 10, when our theme will be “See How My Garden Grows”.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

With the upcoming changes to Stampin’ Rewards (10% Rewards Earned on $20+ Orders) going into effect on April 15th at 2 PM MT, I wanted to let you know about an important update to my customer rewards. Starting today (April 12), I will no longer be offering Free Monthly Hoot Loot with $50+ orders.
This decision didn’t come easily. With a significant drop in business, I’ve had to reassess what’s sustainable for me moving forward. While I’ve loved being able to offer this extra thank-you each month, it’s no longer feasible for me to continue this particular program.
That said, I’m happy to share that my Hoot Point Rewards Program is here to stay! You’ll continue to earn one Hoot Point for every $50 you spend—and once you collect 10 points, you’ll receive a $50 shopping spree on me!
Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to me!

Too cute, Stesha! What a great combination to make your scene. Those roosters are adorable! Thank you for joining the blog hop this month! (And I am singing the Green Acres theme song as I write this!)
So adorable! Love the cows!
