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!!

Zany Zebras

Welcome everyone,

I think you all know I love dies and have used 3 different sets on this cute card. I also love some glitter and shine on my cards so have also used some glitter here.

The base card is Whisper White (#106549) and the next layer is Real Red card (#106578). The Whisper White card on top has been dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). This is a sneak peek from the upcoming mini catalogue available from 5th January.

I stamped the cute Zebra from the Zany Zebras stamp set (#c152536) on Whisper White card. This, as well as the Black Glitter Paper (#153518) were cut with dies from the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). I attached these using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The dies for “Happy Birthday” are from the Well Written Dies (#151816) and cut from the Red Foil from the Red & Green Foil Sheets (#153510). I had adhered Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of the foil before cutting. Using these adhesive sheets allows you to easily attach fine detailed pieces to your project.

I also added some extra glimmer to the zebra using the Clear Wink Of Stella brush (#141897) where the line markings are but I don't think it shows very well in the photo.

Have a great day.

Zany Zebras

Hello,

The Zany Zebras stamp set (#152536) includes 3 very cute zebras which are just adorable. Here’s an easy card using 1 of the zebras.

The zebra and sentiment are from the same set and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Whisper White card (#106549). The circles were cut with the Layering Circles Dies (#151770) and the sentiment with a dies from the Stitched Nested Labels (#149638). Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was used to matt the zebra and for the small “label” under the sentiment.. The Designer Series Paper is from the World Of Good Specialty Paper (#152491) and attached to the Whisper White base card. I coloured 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) using the Basic Black Stampin’ Blends (#154843) before attaching them to the card.

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to add shimmer to the Zebra. Not sure how visible it is in this photo.

Have a great day.

Zany Zebras

Hi everyone,

How cute are these adorable little zebras from the Zany Zebras stamp set (#152536).

I stamped the zebras with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) onto Whisper White card (#106549). The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I added some extra colour to the zebras with Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904), then added the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) over the Smokey Slate colouring. This white card was attached to Real Red card (#106578), then attached to the World Of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152491). The base card is also Whisper White. 

I finished this simple but cute card by adding the Wonderful Gems (#153536). 

Have a great day!!
