Using the Hot Foil System and Gold Hot Foil I foiled the largest frame from the Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies, twice onto the two pieces of Basic White card. I die cut both frames using the co-ordinating Flourish & Frames Dies.

A highland cow themed anniversary card made using the Wild Bunch stamp set from Stampin' Up! and the mirror technique

Highland Cow Anniversary Card

Posted on July 24, 2026July 8, 2026 by Mo Rootes

I designed this card, using the adorable Highland cows from the Wild Bunch stamp set for my daughter and son in law who are celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary. I used the Stamp Positioner and a Silicon Mat to mirror stamp the highland cow inspired by a video from Amanda Fowler of Inspiring Inkin’

Colours used in making this card are:

I created the highland cow anniversary card using the following supplies:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Early Espresso – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Early Espresso – 2 ¾” by ⅜”

I placed the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card onto the Stamp Positioner and marked the centre point with a pencil. I lined the Highland cow up with its right ear against the centre line and picked the stamp up with the clear positioner plate.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wild Bunch stamp set used with the mirror technique to make a highland cow themed anniversary card

The card stock panel was removed and the Silicon mat replaced it on the Positioner. I inked up the stamp with Early Espresso ink and stamped it onto the Silicon Mat; I repeated this to make sure the image was well inked.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wild Bunch stamp set used with the mirror technique to make a highland cow themed anniversary card

I carefully placed the panel of Basic White card onto the Silicon mat and when it was in position I stamped again without re-inking. This makes sure there is good contact with the inked image on the Silicon Mat. The white panel was then lifted up and the Silicon Mat removed.

The Basic White panel was then turned over to reveal the mirror image of he cow before it was placed down into the original position. I inked up the image again and stamped it onto the panel and hey presto there are two cows.

The cows were then coloured using the following Blends Pens – SU 700, Petal Pink, Golden Glow, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake & Pecan Pie. I added a Balmy Blue ink to the background using a Blending Brush. The whole panel was adhered to the Ealy Espresso layer and then to the Balmy Blue card front.

I mounted the sentiment, from the Reason to Celebrate stamp set onto my Stamp Positioner plate, inked it up with the Black Hybrid ink and stamped it onto the die cut label. I used the positioner in case I needed to stamp it multiple times. I then set it aside to dry which took quite a while.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Greenery Lane stamp set used with the Reason To Celebrate and Fabulous Saying stamp sets to make 4 cards using the One Sheet Wonder technique – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Using Basic Beige ink, I stamped the large leafy spray along both pencil lines, changing the angle and direction with each stamping.

I then randomly added the smaller leafy sprig with Pretty Peacock ink and filled in the colour with Lost Lagoon. The smaller open leafy sprig was then stamped all over with Night of Navy ink.

The tiny flowers were then added with Bubble Bath and Blackberry Bliss ink.

I cut the panel down to give me 4 pieces measuring 5¼” by 3½” and glued these to the 4 layers. I added Bubble Bath Ribbon around 3 of the panels before adding them to the card bases with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Dimensionals.

I chose sentiments from the Greenery Lane, Reason To Celebrate and Fabulous Sayings stamp set and stamped them directly onto the panel or onto scrap Basic White card which I die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

A trio of Rainbow Dots finished each of the cards.
