Giraffe Love

Well, this month has come to an end. It's been fun working with Technique Junkies again - their stamps are so much fun to work with, and so unique. It's looking like another few months of Dr. appointments, tests, surgeries, etc., so not sure how often I'll be able to pop in here, but I'm thinking of you all!!!

Wait until you see these fun cards! I had a blast with this stamp, 'Giraffe Love'. 

The first card features the full 'Giraffe Love' background stamp on a white panel. I then cut a small frame and 'highlighted' a few of the giraffes by coloring inside the frame. The sentiment, 'Simply Enjoy' was stamped and matted as well. The focal panel was adhered to a card base, a quick bow added, and it's ready to mail!

Next, I colored and fussy cut some of the giraffes and hearts from the 'Giraffe Love' stamp, and sort of hid them behind a panel of black and white stripes. The sentiment is from the new set 'Another Year'.

Last up is a card that I think is called triple stamping technique? Not sure, but I'm going with that!

I actually stamped and colored the entire image, then used two dies to cut out portions of the image. These were matted with a tiny black border, then popped up with dimensional dots. Again, the 'Giraffe Love' stamp was used, as well as the 'Another Year'. 

It's been fun! I'm hoping to get back soon to catch up on a million or so cards that I've made over the past year, that have never been posted!

Fun with giraffes

Hi there!

I have a fun post today!  I was recently asked to create some 'giraffe' cards,

for a lady who wanted to give 7 cards to her daughter - one each day, leading

up to her birthday!

It was a lot of fun, creating 'just because', and I am happy to share them with you today.

Here's what I made:

This one uses a digital image from Bugaboo stamps. Cute, right???
Love that sweet face!

I can't remember whose image this one is - yikes! I borrowed some

giraffe stamps from my friend, Shirley, and this was one of them.

The Dazzle On stamp is an older stamp from Great Impressions.

On the inside is a computer generated sentiment, and an OLD stamp set from TAC.

Here is another one that I can't remember!!!

This gorgeous giraffe is from Repeat Impressions. LOVE this!

The inside is a sentiment I printed from 'someplace online'!!!

Last, but not least, here is another great digi image from Bugaboo stamps.
Look at those critters having a party just for Ashleigh!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
Hope you enjoyed my furry friends :)

Hugs and blessings,
Patti J.
