Tractor & Co Birthday Card / Stamping With Melva

Tractor & Co Birthday Card

Tuesday, 26 August 2025

It's like stepping back into my childhood! When I was growing up my Mom and Dad owned a Massey Ferguson dealership and sold tractors and combines and other farm equipment. Some of my earliest memories are playing on the machinery next to our house. Probably wasn't the safest thing to be doing, but times were different back then!

When I saw the Tractor & Co Bundle from Stampin' Up!® I knew I had to have it. Took me right back to my childhood. And of course the first card I made had to have a red tractor! Check out this cute card! So easy with the dies!
