I moved back to the dairy state (Wisconsin) almost 2 years ago and the Cutest Cow Punch couldn’t be more appropriate for me to own. Maybe “covet” is a better word! Isn’t this little bull charming with Blueberry Bushel accents? Punch the “cow” in Basic White and Blueberry Bushel (twice) and use the blueberry cow to add colorful personality to the white cow. I especially adore the little Blueberry Bushel horns (punch) and Blueberry Bushel hooves. I snipped the hooves from the Blueberry Bushel cow and glued to the white cow)!
2 MINUTE TECHNIQUE TIP! The three stitched banners were created with the Nested Essentials Dies, a paper crafting “must-have” and on the list of My Favorite Things. The 1 1/8” Blueberry Bushel banner needed to be “longer” than the actual die. I cropped it twice, lined up and adhered both to the back of the Crumb Cake deckled rectangle, spaced apart to give the illusion of one continuous banner! You can “lengthen” many die cut shapes this way as long as you can conceal where they are split.
