There is an amazing US Stampin’ Up! demonstrator who is celebrating her birthday this month and I have created a card to send to her.
If you can guess who she is, then message me and I might send you a card as well.
She loves riding her bike and lives close to too many ‘gators for my liking.
This is the card I created … and, it is the mail now.
I used the Zany Zoo Dies to cut the ‘gator from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.
For the floating circle background, I added 1/4″ and 1/2″ strips of cardstock to a piece of Glad Press and Seal. Then I used the largest of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut this layer.
I attached Foam Adhesive Strips to the back of this layer so that it would sit up from the Splatters Embossed basic white panel. Then I added the cycling ‘gator to floating strips circle.
The birthday greeting is from the Wanted to Say Dies. I used Adhesive Sheets to attach the sentiment layers to the card front … I have used these dies for all of the projects I’m sharing today.
To finish the card, I added some Glossy Dots for that little bit of bling.
The ‘gator was added to the card insert and the back of the envelope.
I adore all the critters in the Zany Zoo Stamp Set and the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper. Many can be die cut but the rest need a little fussy cutting.
This is my next card.
This banner elephant is from the DSP and needed some fussy cutting. I added the same fussy cut elephant to the card insert and envelope flap.
The floating strips circle was made in the same way – just using a different colour combination.
I used the same Glossy Dots on this card.
This next card features the fussy cut hippo in a tutu, with some balloons that were attached to the racoon.
This card has balloons, cut from the Zany Zoo Dies, added to the card insert and on the back of the envelope.
All the cards, that are part of this project, have a Basic White panel that has been embossed with the Splatters 3D Embossing Folder.
The final project in this series is an exploding gift box.
I decided to make it to showcase as many of the Zany Zoo creatures that I could … and hold a gift voucher for the recipient.
Here it is!
The box measures 4″ x 4″ x 4″. The floating circle was made in the same way as described before. While the racoon was die cut, the hippo and dog were fussy cut.
I used the same Glossy Dots on this 3D project.
These are the external parts of the gift box. I used Subtles 6″x 6″ DSP for these panels before adding lots of creatures from the DSP.
Inside the explosion gift box, I added a gift card pocket in the centre. The bear was fussy cut from the DSP before being adhered to the gift card pocket. I cut away the balloons from the die cut racoon to add to the bear’s paw.
Each of the four internal panels had panels of DSP that were coloured using Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends.
Four projects, with one of them for a very talented colleague in the US. I hope she likes it.
Until next time, happy stamping.
