Stampin’ Up! Animal Outing
Welcome, this cold day in Georgia! I know our cold is nothing compared to the folks in the Midwest. You are really having cold, freezing, and potentially life-threatening weather. I hope everyone has a warm spot. I think of the homeless and know some are out in this freezing weather. Everyone have a safe and warm day. Stay inside and make cards.
My inspiration and design today comes from the Global Design Project. Check it out!
The card base is Balmy Blue card stock embossed with the Subtle TIEF.
The Animal Expedition DSP which is matted using a panel of Shaded Spruce card stock is used for the wide banner across the card. A length of Linen Thread is wrapped around the banner 3 times and two leaves from the Butterfly Elements (free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase). One of the leaves is colored using a Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker. The banner is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.
The focal piece is cut from a panel of the Animal Expedition DSP using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies and matted on Shaded Spruce card stock using a larger die to cut it. Get Well from the Well Said stamp set is stamped so it looks as if the giraffe is saying it. It is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. This is popped over the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A few sequins are scattered around the card front to give a little bling. That does it for the card front.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White that has a border cut from the Animal Expedition DSP. Shaded Spruce card stock is used as a mat.
Thank you for stopping by today! My wish for you is to find inspiration and encouragement for your own creations. Have a blessed day!

My card today focuses on the stamp sets, Butterfly Gala and Part of My Story. I have also used All My Love Designer Specialty Paper (DSP).
The inside sentiment is from the stamp set Part of My Story. The hearts are stamped in Lovely Lipstick and are from the Forever Lovely stamp set. The pink heart is cut free-hand using a square of the All My Love DSP.
In creating my card for today I used the Climbing Roses stamp set and Botanical Butterfly DSP. This was a fun card to make, but then they all are fun, what am I saying, but I do love butterflies. My inspiration and design come from the challenge this week at
Two butterflies are colored on this panel using Light Old Olive, Light Highland Heather, and Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. The next layer is another Highland Heather panel that is the mat for the Whisper White panel that has the greeting stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. The greeting is from the Climbing Roses stamp set.
This panel has two fussy cut butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly DSP adhered with Glue Dots. The long vertical panel is Highland Heather for the mat and Whisper White for the art piece. 
The butterflies for the art piece has been fussy cut from the Botanical Butterfly DSP also and adhered with Glue Dots to the Whisper White panel. To me, they do not look fussy cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP but stamped and colored with watercolor pens or Stampin’ Blend Markers. Using a black fine point pen (non-Stampin’ Up!) just a regular pen you write with, I made dots on this panel. After all the panels were adhered using Liquid Glue the final thing was to pop the finished panel on the Basic Black base. 
The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the label made from one of the dies in the Climbing Rose bundle. It is adhered to a panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP that has been matted on a panel of Highland Heather card stock. The butterflies on the Botanical Butterfly DSP panel are colored using Light Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blend Markers. A Whisper White panel is adhered above the sentiment panel for a note whether it birthday, thinking of you, or sympathy that you are using it for, you will be able to have a spot for a personal note.

I received the Animal Outing stamp set at OnStage Atlanta in April 2018. I have used it very little but think it is time to use it more as we now have a stamp set that has the perfect greeting for this (Part of My Story) free with $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.
The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a stitched circle and has a Basic Black mat. Several Epoxy hearts are scattered around the card front. The front is finished. Let’s try for the inside sentiment.
After the Animal Expedition Focal mat is adhered to the Lemon Lime Twist mat a length of ribbon is wrapped around the two panels and a bow is tied. They are then adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.
The inside sentiment from the Colorful Seasons stamp set is stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. A frog from the So Hoppy Together stamp set is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist in the corner of the card.
