Shadow Box

Hi again friends,

I have made this cute shadow box for my nephew’s baby boy, allowing to add a photo on the left and I will add his birth details on the label on the right. I have used current and retired Stampin’ Up! products.

The background is from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494). There is also another lighter piece of this DSP at the bottom. The animals are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). The stamp sets are Animal Outing (retired), Zany Zebras (#152536) and Wildly Happy (#149408). I coloured the Giraffes with Ivory Stampin’ Blends (#154922), Pumpkin Pie (#154897) & Crumb Cake (#154882). The other animals had some extra colour added with Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904) and the little bird (on the rhino) with Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Poppy Parade (#154958).

The kangaroo, rhino and giraffes were cut with the co-ordinating Animal Friends Dies. The Elephant and Zebra were fussy cut. The label for the information was cut with a Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585).

The fence was cut with a die from the Garden Gateway Dies (#151512). It is actually the gate but I cut the arch off so I just had a fence. I used Soft Suede card (#119982) for the fence and for the matted pieces. The grass was cut with a Friendly Silhouette Die (#149546) from Granny Apple Green card (#147014). I had Adhesive Sheets (#152334) on the back of this before cutting with the die.

The dragonflies are from the retired Detailed Dragonflies Dies and I used the (retired) Black Glitter paper. “Jack” and the card to attach a photo is Very Vanilla (#106550).

Have a great day!!

Baby card

Hello everyone,

I needed a baby card, so thought animals would be cute for a baby boy. Some time ago I saw a “balcony card” with 2 levels and decided to make a larger one with 3 levels and have since made many variations of this card for different occasions. It’s always a hit.

The Whisper White base card is the normal card size - 21cm x 14.9 cm and scored at 10.5cm.

The White card at the front is 23cm x 4cm and scored at 11.5cm as well as 1cm at each end.

The middle white layer is 18cm x 7cm and scored at 9cm and 1 cm at each end.

The back white layer is 12cm x 12cm, scored at 6cm and 1cm at each end.

The 1cm flaps on each end is where each piece attaches to the card.

The Granny Apple Green card (#147014) is cut as follows and you require 2 of each size.

The front layer is 10cm x 3.5cm

The middle layer is 6.5 x 7.5 cm

The back layer is 11.5cm x 4.5cm

The base is 13.9cm x 9.5 cm.

The DSP is from the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (#155225) from Sale-a-bration. Again you need 2 of each and are cut the following sizes-

Middle layer - 11cm x 4cm

Back Layer - 11cm x 4cm

Base - 13.4cm x 9cm.

I dry embossed the DSP with the retired Layered Leaves Embossing folder.

I stamped the sentiments onto Whisper White card then cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820). “Sweetest Baby” is from the Wildly Happy Stamp set (#149408). The elephant and foxes are from the same set. “Congratulations” is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595). The sentiments were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095).

The Zebra is from the Zany Zebras stamp set (#152536) and the giraffes, rhino and kangaroo are from the retired Animal Outing stamp set. All the animals were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I have coloured the animals with the following Stampin’ Blends - Smokey Slate (#154904), Crumb Cake (#154882), Pumpkin Pie (#154897) and Ivory (#154922). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) on parts of the animals.

 The rhino, giraffes and kangaroo were cut with the co-ordinating Animal Friends dies (retired) and the others were fussy cut.

The leaves are cut with dies from the Forever Flourishing dies (#152714) and dies from the Boho Indigo Product Medley (#153132).

When attaching each layer onto the card I find the easiest way is to lay the card flat. Have all the pieces assembled for the layers. Use a bone folder on all the scored lines and attach the 1cm flaps to the card using Tear & Tape Adhesive (#138995). The animals and leaves were attached after the rest of the card was assembled. I have used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the animals, leaves and sentiments to the card.

The card will lay flat when completed.

Have a great day!!

Animal Outing

Hello and welcome once again,

Some more of my favourite retiring products have been used here on today’s card. It’s always sad to see some of your favourite products go, but that makes way for more new and exciting products, and there are lots of those coming up in the new catalogue on 3rd June.

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550) and the DSP is from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper (#151252). I embossed the Very Vanilla triangle with the Layering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder (#152321). The leaf border is from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#149611). I coloured this with a Sponge Dauber (#133773) using Old Olive ink (#147090). This was glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The elephant from the Animal Outing stamp set (#c151281) was stamped with Smokey Slate ink (#147113). The scalloped squares were cut with the Layering Squares Dies (#141708) and the ovals with the Layering Ovals Dies (#141708). The sentiment is from the Botanical Bliss stamp set (#151284) and stamped with Old Olive ink. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the ovals and squares to the card.

The retiring products used here are the Animal Outing stamp set, Botanical Bliss stamp set, Layering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder, Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and Tropical Oasis DSP.

Have a great weekend,

Stay safe & keep crafting!!
