Go Wild

Hello Friends

I thought it would be fun to combine a few dies from different releases.  So I am using two dies from our Safari set, one from the Slimline set and one from our Tropical and Beach release.  The dies are Safari Monkey, Safari Phrases, Tropical Bouquet and Leafy Background Slimline.

Designer Steps:

1.  White card base 3 3/4 x 8 3/4 folded, Cut a piece of DP 3 1/2 x 8 1/2, and use the Leafy Background Slimline and cut it on green card stock

2.  Using the Safari Monkey cut out 3 monkeys using dark brown, light brown and black (nose).  Not pictured using the Tropical Bouquet die cut out 2 large Hibiscus flowers and 2 smaller ones on pink, and yellow.  Cut out 5 flowers in white, pink and black (centers).  Cut out 5 palm leaves in green. Using the Safari Phrase die cut out the sentiment in black card stock.  I used coordinating inks to shade some of the pieces and then glued together

3.  Glue the DP to the white card base and then add the leafy slimline piece.  Glue 2 hibiscus flowers, 2 white flowers and 2 leaves to the bottom of the card as shown and then add the monkey

4.  Glue 2 hibiscus flowers, 3 white flowers and 3 leaves to the top of the card and then add the monkey (below)

5.  Finish by adding the sentiment and the last monkey

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Blessings and Take Care

Jungle Birthday

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  And I also want to wish you a very Happy New Year! I am getting started on my Birthday cards for 2021!  Luckily I don't have any birthdays in January so that gives me a months head start.  I am using some of the adorable critters from the Safari Release.  Today I used the cute lion and giraffe on this fun birthday card.

Design Steps

1.  Use a piece of kraft card stock as the A2 base, green card stock cut 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, DP cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8, use the second from the largest Wide Pierced Rectangle Frame Die to cut a green frame and finally a piece of white card stock 2 1/2 x 3 1/2

2.  On the small piece of white card stock sponge in clouds using blue ink and a stencil

3. Glue the green card stock to the kraft card base and then glue down the DP to the green card stock.  Glue the white cloud rectangle to the center of the card.  Place dimension tape to the back of the frame

4.  Center the frame right over the top of the clouds and then pop it down

5.  Cut all of the leaves out of 3 shades of green using the Safari Adventure Gang die and the Safari Monkey, cut the pieces for the lion using the Safari Lion die and last cut all the pieces for the giraffe using the Safari Giraffe die.  Assemble the animals using a fine tip glue

6.  Arrange your animals and leaves to create your jungle scene

7.  Stamp the sentiment and then use the Pierced Circle die to cut it out.  Add to your scene and your card is complete
