July Animal Outing Take 2


Animal Outing Take 2

Once I got started with the Animal Outing Bundle, ideas poured in.  It's such a cute, fun set.  The animals are adorable; the sentiments are so complementarty to the images.

So for this card with the Animal Outing Bundle, I had to do something with the Rhinoceros.  Since I love to color, I pulled out my Stampin' Blends and this is what happened.

Outside


The card base is Shaded Spruce.  The Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper is layered over the card base. A small piece of Berry Burst is diecut with the leaf decorative die from the Animal Friends Thinlits and layered over another piece of the Animal Expedition DSP.  The sentiment and rhinoceros are stamped with Memento.  The rhinerceros is colored with the Light and Dark Smoky Slate Blends, and the bird is colored with the Rich Razzleberry Blend.  The birds beak is colored with the Dark Crushed Curry Blend.

The inside of the card is matted with Berry Burst, topped with Whisper White and decorated with a leftover piece of the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.

July - Animal Outing Together We Make A Great Pair



Animal Outing

It took me a while to think up what I might do with the Animal Outing bundle, but once I got started with it, ideas poured in.  Here's one of my first cards with this bundle

Outside

These adorable giraffes are just wandering thru the jungle, and the sentiment is just perfect.

The card base is Early Espresso.  Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper is used to create the jungle.  The Playful Pennants die creates the zig zag of the jungle undergrowth.

The giraffes are stamped on Crumb Cake and die cut with the Animal Friends Thinlits.  

The sentiment is stamped on Whisper White cut out with one of the Layering Squares and matted on the next size larger Layering Square cut out in Crumb Cake


Inside





The inside of the card shows the two giraffes sauntering through the jungle stamped on Whisper White, matted on Crumb Cake, and adhered to the inside of the card base

July Stampit Blog Hop



Christmas Joy


As Christmas in July approached, visions of Merry Merlot danced in my head.  I thought and considered what can I make with Merry Merlot and Night in Bethlehem.  I sat at my craft table with my tools and supplies.  After a time, this is what my wondering eyes beheld:


Card Front:


The Large Letter Framelits were used to cut out the J and Y.  I used two of the Layering Circles dies to make the O.  A larger circle with a smaller circle inside of it.  I stamped the star in Merry Merlot on the smaller circle.  I stamped the smaller stars on the cutout card front with Night of Navy stamping off first, then layered it onto a Merry Merlot Mat.  Use foam strips to pop up the J, circle with the star stamped, and Y.  Die cut the Bethlehem scene from Night of Navy, adhere to Whisper White.

Inside of Card:


Use Merry Merlot to stamp the sentiment.  Use Night of Navy to stamp the stars, stamping off first.  Mat Whisper White panel to Merry Merlot.  Die cut the image and adhere.  Adhere panel to inside of card.










Oh, wonder of wonder!  This is just how i envisioned it would be.  I love it when that happens!
