Stampin with Shirley G

Finally, well enough again, to attempt a card.

The card I am sharing is a fun fold but I do not know what the fun fold is called.  I made this for a great-grandson’s 4th birthday.

Card Cuts:

• Basic White cardstock
  • card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″  score at 4-1/4″
  • card front background layer — 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • art piece card front — 1-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
  • inside art piece — 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″
  • pop-out mechanism 1-1/2″ x 4-1/4″  scoring at 3/4″, 2-1/4″ and 3-3/4″
• Daffodil Delight cardstock
  • mat for front art piece — 2″ x 3″
  • mat for inside art piece  — 2-3/4″ x 5-1/2″
• Old Olive cardstock
  • mat for art piece card front — 2-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
• Balmy Blue cardstock
  • greeting card front — 1/2″ x 2″
• Window Sheet  — 2 strips –3/8″ x 3″
• Beautiful Boken Designer Series Paper
  • envelope flap — 2-1/4″ x 6″

Stamp the monkey image from Stampin’ Up! Silly Safari Stamp Set on the 1-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Black Ink.  On another piece of Basic White, you can stamp the tiger and giraffe.  Stamp the giraffe on the” x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock.  Stamp the zebra on the 2-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White piece.  You can see the placement in the picture.  Color the tiger, monkey, and giraffe using Ivory, Peacan Pie, Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight, and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.  After coloring, fussy each animal.

 

Using stamps from Stampin’ Up! Silly Safari Stamp set, stamp the leaves around one of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Basic White card stock.  The other two are used to stamp the inside panels.  Doing this creates your own personal designer series paper.  Adhere the panels to the card base, both the front and the inside, as shown in the photo.  Adhere the Daffodil Delight cardstock piece and the Old Olive cardstock piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The monkey and tiger are adhered to the mechanism that is hidden behind the panel with the zebra.  Adhere them before adhering the zebra panel over the mechanism.  Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, pop the giraffe on the left side of the inside.  Watch Dawn at the Glitter Pit make the mechanism here.

On the piece of Beautiful Boken Designer Series Paper, stamp the monkey, tiger, and zebra in Memento Black ink.  Adhere the piece to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I am happy you stopped by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards, and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my creations with you each day. I hope and wish you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Have a blessed day!

If you love card-making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card-making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

  Being a part of the Stampin’ Up! Community is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  Are you new to papercrafting and cardmaking and don’t know where to start, but would like to join to save?  As I said earlier in this post, I’m here to assist you in any way I can.  Ask me!
