Why I cracked up about Carrot Cards!

Did you hear me laughing during the live video a couple weeks ago when I was talking about this “carrot set”??  When I was reviewing all of the Sale-a-Bration products for 2023, and I got to this Thanks a Bunch set, I said something like, “well, I saw this carrot set and thought what should I do with it? well, I guess I’ll make a carrot card!”, and my son was home for the weekend and he could hear me on the live and he CRACKED UP when I said that.. so then I cracked up and realized how silly that sounded!! 🙂

BUT.. I guess I did have good advice because I made these 2 carrot cards and I think they turned out SO cute!!  My Slimline Card above also features 2 patterns from the Day at the Farm paper and a cute die cut tag from the new Something Fancy dies.

Below are the 5 colors I used for the carrots and greenery.  This 2 step stamp makes these carrots look super realistic!!  THANKS comes from the Biggest Wish set (see all supplies at the bottom of this post – click any product to go to my online store to purchase).

Slimline card dimensions I use to fit in the Stampin’ Up! slimline envelopes: Cut the Thick Basic White card base at 7″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 3-1/2″ and fold.

Another cute alternative is a square card. I used Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 4-1/4″ x 8-1/2″, scored and folded in half.  The 4×4 piece of printed paper is also from the Day at the Farm Sale-a-Bration pack.

Here is the Day at the Farm paper – another free Sale-a-Bration gift choice – I used 3 of the patterns from this pack on my cards today!

If you’re wondering about the color of the ribbon below…. since Stampin’ Up! doesn’t offer Calypso Coral ribbon, I used my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend marker and colored my Pale Papaya ribbon… voila!!

Final Touch: the Iridescent Pastel Gems finish off this great card!
