Stampin' Up! Animal Outing Giraffes

I looked at the cute card I made yesterday with the Stampin' Up! Animal Outing and I just had to make another card with this sweet set.  I decided to use a completely different color pallete for this card.   

     



The basecard for this card is So Saffron.  The next layer is Soft Suede.  The left edge was die cut with the Delicate Lace Edgelit.  Then there is a layer of Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  This DSP has a pearlized finish that changes color based on how the light hits it.    

I made a frame out of Soft Suede using the Stitched Shapes Circle and the Layering Circles framelits.  Then I cut another circle out of Very Vanilla to stamp the two giraffes and the leaves from this set.  The leaves are colored using the Light Old Olive Blends Marker.  
   




The sentiment is also from the Animal Outing set.  Its stamped in Soft Suede and then cut with another, smaller Stitched Shapes circle.   




I had the Botanical Tags Thinlits sitting on my Big Shot, so I cut a couple of branches/leave and added them behind the sentiment.  I stamped the branch and frog from the Animal Outing stamp set and fussy cut it before adding it to the top of my sentiment.  It was only after I had assembled the card that I remembered that this set had a coordinating die set.  Duh!  One of the dies cuts the branch and frog.  AND, there is a coordinating branch and leaves die as well.  This is a new bundle in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog this year, and you can save 10% by purchasing the stamp set and die set together.      

        


Here's the card I created yesterday, on the right, with today's card on the left.  This is such a fun set.  I know I'll be using this set a lot more.

Stampin' Up! Animal Outing & get ready for Tax Free Weekend

  • Gray Granite and Animal Outing
  • Get ready for Tax Free Week end and stock up on supplies
  • Bonus Day's!  Every $50 spent earns you $5!

Stampin' Up! Animal Outing Stamp Set

I've had the Stampin' Up! Animal Outing set sitting on my work surface for a couple of weeks.  It's so cute, I really wanted to use it as soon as possible.  However, I kept covering it up and losing it (I'm sure that's never happened to anyone else) as I rotated projects around my work space.  Today I dug it out from under some of my normally messy space and decided today was the day to create a card with this set.  Its been a little overcast and gray and it just felt right to use the new Gray Granite cardstock and a new Gray Granite ribbon.      

     



The basecard for this card is Night of Navy.  The next layer is Whisper White.  Then the image layer is Gray Granite.    

I  stamped the rhino and bird image from the Animal Outing stamp set in Night of Navy on the Gray Granite layer.
   




The sentiment is also from the Animal Outing set.  Its stamped in Night of Navy on a scrap of Whisper White and punched out with one of the Stitched Label Thinlits. 

I used Best Route Washi Tape to create the blue boarder along the bottom of the card above the ribbon.  The Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon is tied in a knot at the bottom of the card.     

        


I added a small gray Metallic Pearl to the sentiment and one more above the rhino.  

This set includes several other cute animals that you'll love for creating both adult and children's cards.  Check it out today!
