I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!

To celebrate I wanted to share the instructions for the fun BBQ pocket invitation card I made:

Supplies: black, yellow and white cardstocks, yellow and black ink pads, red and white check pattern paper, 2 black brads, corner rounder punch, yellow ribbon, BBQ stamp set (I used Grill it Up from Close To My Heart)

Directions:

– cut black cardstock in half length wise and round the corners, fold in half and then fold forward one end 1 1/2″, adhere the folded sides together

-trim pattern paper to fit the front of the card and the folded down flap and adhere to the card

– attach brads to flaps, to hold them down

– trim white cardstock to fit inside pocket of card, rub the edges with the black ink pad, then stamp the invitation information in black then attach a small loop of ribbon to the back and slip card inside the pocket

– trim yellow cardstock to fit front of card, stamp heat waves on black and then off set stamp again with out re-inking stamp, adhere to front of card

– on scrap of white cardstock stamp the burger once in black and once in yellow ink, cut out and assemble burger using yellow bun and black patty, adhere to yellow cardstock on front of card

-stamp words in black on front of card on pattern paper

Etsy Spotlight: A Moo-velous Make for Highland Cow Lovers

Okay, confession time: I’ve always dreamed of having a Highland cow as a pet. There’s just something magical about their shaggy coats, sweet eyes, and gentle nature that makes them utterly irresistible. But since zoning laws (and my backyard) don’t quite allow for the real thing, I’ve found the next best option — this Highland Cow Sewing Pattern on Etsy.

This adorable PDF pattern lets you stitch up your very own fluffy Highland friend, complete with detailed photo instructions that guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re crafting it as a cuddly toy, a cozy décor piece, or a unique gift, this little cow brings all the charm without any of the farm chores.

It’s suitable for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike, and with the right fabric (faux fur, anyone?), you can really bring that signature Highland cow fluff to life. And yes, I’m already picturing a mini herd in festive scarves come Christmas!

At CraftGossip, we love supporting independent Etsy sellers who bring whimsy and heart into their handmade patterns—and this one is a standout. So if you’re like me and secretly dream of Highland cows roaming your living room, this might just be your next feel-good project.
