This birthday card was fun and easy to make using the Tractor and Co Bundle from Stampin’ Up!The Christmas version was taken from the Stampin’ Up! website and the birthday version was adapted from that.
The Thoughtful Journey DSP made the perfect sunrise background for the feeding out of the hay. The Christmas version had glitter foam star embellishments so for the birthday card I decided to use the brushed brass birds instead.
I used this fun tractor and Christmas tree die set to make a kiwi Christmas card. Tractors are a common sight around NZ but our Christmas time is always in summer so I wanted a Christmas card that showed that, and this is what I came up with.
I chose green and yellow to be like a John Deere tractor. These tractors also have a yellow stripe along the side, so I used the thin piece that makes the roof to die cut the side stripe.
Aren’t the Christmas lights cute? They are die cut from the heads of corn die (which is part of this same tractor set). They’re the perfect shape to make little lights!!!
Inside the card, I used the sentiment from the Notes and Totes stamp set and I sponged a bit of yellow on first to keep it looking bright and summery.
What do you think? Does it still look like a Christmas card even though it’s a summer Christmas?
