Another Year Taller

A6 slider card made using For the love of stamps "Another Year Taller" stamp set, "Blue Lagoon", "Arctic Mist" and "Rainforest Green" prism ink pads, For the love of masks "Plane Cute" stencil, nesting rectangle moonstone dies and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends. 

I started by running the "Blue Lagoon" ink pad thickly around the edge of the card blank to make a blue border. I then die cut a piece of smooth white card using the second largest nesting rectangle moonstone die, blended the sky using "Blue Lagoon", "Arctic Mist" and the "Plane Cute" stencil and blended the grass using "Rainforest Green", the bush stamp from FTLS "Cheeky Monkey" stamp set and added a couple of flicks of green marker. I stamped the "Another Year Taller" sentiment in Black.
I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the Giraffes body on its own, neck x2 and head together. I stuck the body of the giraffe to the background, cut a slit at the neck part for the long neck to fit into and I then slid the long neck into the slit. On the back, I glued a small piece of cardboard to stop the neck sliding out of the slit and added a pull tab made from acetate to the head. To finish I stuck the background to the base card with 2mm foam pads.

You are Moo-vellous

 A6 card made using Time for Tea Designs "Moovellous" stamp set, "Rainforest Green" prism ink pad, backing paper from The Craft Place "Origami Super Stack" (brought from the works) and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

I started with an A6 card blank and covered it with Hobbycraft's "Brights" green card.

I used Hunkydory's nesting rectangle Moonstone dies to cut a piece of patterned paper so it was just smaller than the card. 

I then stamped, coloured, fussy cut and added two google eyes to the cow. Using the smallest rectangle in the nesting dies I cut a piece smooth white card and stamped the sentiment in "Rainforest Green", I used a green marker to add some dots around the sentiment and I made a green card layer for the sentiment using a slightly bigger rectangle die. 

Then I die-cut a scalloped circle using HDs Moonstone scalloped and straight nesting dies from green card, then a smaller straight edged circle from patterned paper, layered them up and stuck the cow to it. 

To finish I stuck the cow topper I made and the sentiment to the card using 1mm foam pads.

Plane Cute

A6 card made using For the love of stamps "Plane Cute" stamp set, "Plane Cute" for the love of masks, "Blue Lagoon" and "Arctic Mist" prism ink pads, Straight edge rectangle Moonstone Die and coloured using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

First I die cut a piece of smooth white card and used the plane cute mask to blend the clouds in the background using blue lagoon prism ink, then removed the mask and blended over everything with Arctic Mist. While I have my prism ink pads out I used Blue lagoon and coloured all around the edge of the base card.
I then stamped, coloured and fussy cut the two people, the biggest plane, the smallest plane and the banner. I then stamped the "Fly away with me" sentiment onto the banner and stuck them all down onto the background. I used foam tape for the biggest plane and two people and tacky glue for the small plane and banner. To finish I stuck it all to the base card.

It's Hammy Time!

This little box card is made using Time for Tea Designs "Hooray Hamsters" Stamp set, Uniko's "Pinstripe II" stamp and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

I stamped then coloured and fussy cut 2 different hamsters, the wheel and the sunflower seeds. I then stamped the "Pinstripe II" stamp using the "Slate Grey" prism ink pad to make the background. I then made a wrap out of acetate with 1" sides and ½" tabs for sticking to the background. I stuck ½" wide of scrap patterned card to the bottom and made a ½" wide panel of scrap white card, coloured in with "Jersey Cream" prism ink pad for the hamsters to be stuck to. Before I stuck the background to the wrap, I stamped the "It's hammy time" sentiment in the top corner using Spectrum Noir harmony "Jet Black" ink pad. I used foam pads to stick the wheel to the background and then stuck it all together. To finish I added a panel of white card to the back to add some stability and hide the acetate flaps.

Thank you for visiting, I hoped you liked this post.

Hip, Hop, Hooray!

6x6" pull-tab, jumping bunny card made using Time for Tea Designs "Hip Hop Hooray" stamp set, prism ink pads and coloured using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

I made this simple pull tab card by cutting a 5¾" square of smooth white card and then cutting a slim rectangle for the pull-tab slider, I stuck it to the base card using foam pads so it can be slid up and down. I then blended the grass using "Rainforest Green" prism pad, the sky is "Blue Lagoon" and I used T4TD's blending brushes. I stamped the rabbits, trampoline (twice), coloured them in and fussy cut them out, cutting the second trampoline to look like a hoop. I finished by stamping the sentiment and die-cut it using a rectangle die.

I hope you like this card. Thank you for stopping by,

Cheeky Monkey

 A6 swinging monkey card made using Hunkydory Crafts For the love of stamps "Cheeky Monkey" stamp set, prism ink pads and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

I started by covering the A6 car in Hobbycraft's Primary card in green, then I cut a piece of smooth white card ¼" smaller than the base card, blended it in using Prism "Rainforest Green" and "Canary Yellow" and stamped the large and small leaves in "Rainforest Green" all over it. I then stamped the bushes, large leaves, monkeys and vine using Versafine black ink, coloured them all in using Tri-Blends and fussy cut them out but leaving about ½" of white on the top of the vine. I then placed them onto the card so I knew where to fix the vine and used a brad to fasten the top of the vine to the card. I stuck everything down using liquid glue, but foam pads on the top bushes to hide the brad and still give it room to swing. 

Thank you for taking the time to pop by 

Lynn.
