Monkeying around!

This is my last project that I made at Alison's last week.

I chose the colours from the 'In Colour' range again as I think they are gorgeous!! The base card is Peach Parfait and along the bottom of the card I used the Solid Stripes stamp with Peach Parfait ink. I added a border punched strip of Pear Pizazz card across the card. The greeting is from the Heard From the Heart set stamped in Concord Crush onto Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the monkeys from Fox and Friends set using Peach Parfait, Pear Pizazz and Concord Crush onto a scrap of Whisper White and cut them out so I could 'pop' them up on dimensionals to look like they're hanging from the sentiment. I layered the image onto a piece of Concord Crush and added it to the front of the card.

Since making these cards I have received the 'In Colour' Designer Paper Pack - WOW, WOW!!! I love them even more!! It is such good value and is a perfect pack to split with a friend!

Friendly Owl - hopefully!

Sometimes a swift kick in the laptop helps!!!

Isn't he a cutie?

The image is from the Fox and Friends set that is in the Mini Catalogue, which I used the Rock 'n' Roll technique using Pumpkin Pie and Close to Cocoa inks. The "moon" behind is So Saffron CS sponged around the edge with Close to Cocoa ink. The branch is punched out in Close to Cocoa and Old Olive CS using the Two-Step Bird punch, again from the Mini Catalogue. These were assembled on a piece of Whisper White and Close to Cocoa that had the corners rounded and the edges sponged with Close to Cocoa ink as before. On the front of the Pumpkin Pie base card I stamped some foliage from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.

I am really going to miss Close to Cocoa when Stampin' Up! retire the colour at the end of September - better put in a huge order for cardstock and ink pads before it is too late!!!

Fox and Friends Giraffe

This is the third, and final, card in the set I made on Tuesday. Again, I have used the same colours and layout, but just changed the image.

This time it is the Giraffe's turn. I stamped the image in Creamy Caramel twice, once on the Whisper White scallop circle and then again on a scrap of white. The second image was cut out and popped up on dimensional. Before I stuck this down I stamped the balloon from All in the Family Accessories stamp set, cut it out and stuck it behind the Giraffe's mouth. The sentiment is from Fun and Fast Notes.

Fox and Friends Monkey

This is the second card in the set that I made yesterday. As you can see I have kept the colours the same but changed the image.

This time I used the cheeky Monkey. I have him hanging from the branch from the new Bird and Branch punch (Mini Catalogue) and he has a party hat on which is from the All in the Family Accessories stamp set.

All items Stampin' Up! as previous post.

Fox and Friends Lion

I wanted to do a set of cards that all had the same colours but differenct images. As the Fox and Friends stamp set was on my desk I decided to use it. The colours I chose were Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue on a Whisper White base card. The strip of designer paper is from the Sweet Pea paper stack (Mini catalogue) and the sentiment is from Fun and Fast Notes. This is the first card using the lion image.

I die cut the largest circle from Certainly Celery cardstock, the scallop circle from Bashful Blue and the inner circle from Whisper White. The lion image is first stamped onto the inner circle in So Saffron and then stamped again in Creamy Caramel. I cut out the mane from the Creamy Caramel image and popped it up on dimensionals. I stamped the lion for a third time, this time in So Saffron again, and cut out just his face which I then glued to his mane. Around the edge of the Certainly Celery circle I doodles some faux stitches. I stamped the sentiment in Creamy Caramel and punched it out using the excellent Word Window punch.
