Say Goodbye to Animal Outing

I decided to play with my embossing paste on this card. I mixed a few drops of Gray Granite re-inker into a pile of embossing paste for the background. I also created the mask for the background by using the stones die from the Animal Friends dies.

Check out some other projects I made using Animal Outing.

I used sketch #367 from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for this card.

Animal Outing

For the first card at my last Cookies & Cards class, we made a recessed panel card using the Animal Outing stamp set and Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.  Since the animals were cut from the paper and I only had one pack there are two versions.

One version with the rhino:

And one with the kangaroo:

Animal Outing Cards

Recently Rachel Tessman held a Facebook gathering for her team and these are two of the make-and-takes we did.

This first card lets you see both sides of the Designer Series Paper.

And this second card is a fun fold that Rachel explains how to make on her blog.

Swap Cards

These are the cards I got in return for my Healing Hugs swap card I posted on Tuesday.

Box Card for my Son’s Birthday

Today’s card is a little different, I didn’t use exclusively new products or Stampin’ Up! products.  The patterned paper is from October Afternoon, I got a pack of 25 in a warehouse sale over 5 years ago and I’m still working through it.  The “Happy Birthday” on the front is from Cherry Chat that retired in 2007, sometimes you just need to pull out some old stamp set and show them some love.  On the inside, I used Animal Outing and Beautiful Bouquet.  For the card, I followed these instructions from Ruza’s Craft Corner.
