Good morning, and welcome to our new release hop!
Adela Rossol, of Creations by AR, has been very busy, creating a fun set of templates.
Next is a matching card - called Old McBarn Card, of course!

My barn and card began with plain white cardstock. I left the windows, doors, and trim white, and sponged the other pieces with Tim Holtz Weathered Wood Distress Ink. After I had it evenly sponged, I then scored lines to hopefully resemble siding. Once the 'siding' was done, I sponged again, but with Antique Linen Distress Ink, allowing the score lines to be a bit more pronounced, and the barn to look older.
The barn roof comes off to hold items of your choice. Mine was filled with yummies!
The card is adorable - the doors open in front to reveal one of Laurie Wilson's adorable Doodle Pantry pre-colored images, Quirky Donkey. I sized, printed, cut to fit back of card, and adhered. Voila! The card actually opens on the back for your message...too much fun! Not only that, but check it out - it folds flat for mailing...tee hee!

So, I have to share that my hero for this hop was my teamie, Sue. She was so sweet, and offered to cut my files and mail them to me! (If you follow my blog, you know that I use my scissors :) I had her just cut everything in white, not knowing how I would decorate them. When the envelope arrived, and I saw all of those windows and doors, I was happy dancing at the post office - no kidding! The cuts were all straight, so I could have cut them by hand, but it was nice not to have to do so!

The sponging technique adds so much. Just like old barn boards!
I love this! My three little grandsons would think this was just great! Would love to be able to make it for them.

Wow, my friend, this set is fantastic! I would not have thought of scoring the barn for the weathered look. You are SO smart!
lol, I love how you used the animals to make it look like a real barn!! Just too cute.
Thank you for sharing with us.

Patti! So you have your own "cutting machine" (aka Sue). How sweet of her to do that! I really like how you made the barn with that washed look. I wish I had done that! Love your card, too!
Love the way you staged this with all the animals. That's just what it needed! And it's amazing that the card folds flat.
Too cute! As a dollhouse fan, this is right up my alley! :)
