THIS IS KNOT GOOD – A GIRAFFE WITH A SORE THROAT

This is the third card I have made using the Back on Your Feet Stamp Set. While I thought the sloth and the turtle were totally cute, the giraffe with its knotted neck is the sad winner.

All three cards featured a Basic White card base. For this card, I added a Misty Moonlight layer that was embossed using the dots from the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder.

Thenk I stamped the giraffe and coloured it with the Stampin’ Blends I have listed below in the product list.

I think that “SIGH … OUCH!” is the perfect for the front of the card – it really says everything.

For the envelope, I stamped and coloured the giraffe from the knot up.

For the inside of the card, “This is knot good” was the best way to finish the message.

I coloured some of the silver circles from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials using Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends.

Now I am down to six stamp sets that I need to use before the end of the year.

Until next time, happy stamping.

HOPE YOU’RE BACK ON YOUR FEET SOON

Today’s card, using the Back on Your Feet Stamp Set, features the image of a turtle on its shell with its feet flailing about in the air.

I chose a Basic White card base and decided Mossy Meadow would be a great colour for this card.

The Mossy Meadow layer was given texture by using the checks folder from the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders.

The turtle was stamped using the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then coloured using Stampin’ Blends. I used one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the image.

I also used the Dark Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blend to colour some white Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack. The twine was then wrapped around the Basic Whiye layer and tied in a knot.

The sentiment was stamped and cut using the same Stitched Rectangle Die but was cut a second time to make it a smaller size.

‘Ouch’ was stamped inside the card and on the envelope.

I used coordinating Stampin’ Blends to colour the some of the round silver Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials. They were then added to the front of the card.

It has been fun using this stamp set because the images are perfect to bring a smile to the face of the person in need of cheering up.

I have a third card to share with you tomorrow and I hope that like it.

Until then, happy stamping.

BACK ON YOUR FEET

The Back on Your Feet Stamp Set is one of the sets that is on my list of unused products that I need to make sure I use before the end of the year, and before the new Mini Catalogue is released.

This set is so cute and the images would cheer anyone who is feeling unwell or injured.

I started by choosing the colours for the card base and layers. The top layer, in Smoky Slate, has texture added by using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. All these layers were thenadhered together and added to the card base.

The image of this poor injured sloth is cute yet sad. I stamped it and then coloured it using Stampin’ Blends. Then it was cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. When the ink was dry, I brushed some Clear Wink of Stella over the image.

The ‘ouch’ was stamped and trimmed down to size and the other sentiment were stamped and cut using the same die.

Before adding these Basic White layers to the card front, I took one of the Paper Lattice pieces and colout it using the Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. The lattice was glued in place and Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the white panels to pop them up.

The sloth was stamped on the envelope and the ‘ouch’ stamped inside the card.

The final touch was to add some Matte Black Dots to the front of the card.

I was so pleased with the result of colouring the lattice. There are so many possibilities for the lattice.

I have two more cards using this stamp set to share with you later in the week.

Until next time, happy stamping.
