Hi there
Here’s my second card using the animal outings stamp set. This time I needed it for our 8 year old neighbour who had a birthday back in May. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to fit 8 giraffe on the front – it was a tight squeeze but I got there 🙂
This time I used three different colours of the Stampin’ Blends for the main part of the giraffe – Crumb Cake, Bronze and Ivory. The markings are Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie.
I got a bit tricky with the construction for this card – once I’d cut out my circles I stamped the leaf image (minus the frog) using Pear Pizzaz. After adhering the giraffe to the back of the Whisper White card front I added adhesive to the back of the neck. I then placed the stamped circle back into the hole where it had been originally cut – no wastage of card stock – aligning the leaf image behind the giraffe. The mats around the circles are Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy and these just finish the look of the card.
Now that I have the coordinating dies for this stamp set I look forward to not having to manually cut out the images – although I think I did a pretty good job with the fussy’ cutting :).
Well that’s it for now. I’ll be back soon with some more creations using products from the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue.
Until then …
