Silly Safari Circles for Cardz 4 Galz #276
Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge #276. Our host for this two week challenge, Joanna, chose A Circle Card (anything with a circle) for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Here’s my Silly Safari Circle card:
I think that this stamp set is so stinking cute, and was happy to try it with this theme. Since these definitely are cute critters, I am sharing this with the Critter Crazy Challenge.
Measurements:
- The Granny Apple Green base measures 11 by 4-1/4 inches, scored at 5-1/2 inches to create a tent card
- I used a piece of gray 6 x 6 inch DSP (designer series paper) for the mat and it measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- I needed a piece of gray DSP for the envelope flap and trimmed a piece of the DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches
- Next, I punched a 1-inch circle from a piece of Granny Apple Green DSP and ran it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- I stamped all the animals on a half a piece of white cardstock making sure to leave enough space to crop the circles after stamping and coloring
- The white cardstock for the inside of the card measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
What I Did:
- Unless otherwise specified, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
- I used Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Smoky Slate, Darling Ducking, and Basic Black blends combos for my coloring
- I did use the light Flirty Flamingo blend for the tongues on the monkey and giraffe
- After coloring, I cropped the circles using the Stylish Shapes dies
- I had the Granny Apple Green mat for the sentiment in my Granny Apple Green page protector of scraps
- I used the Tuxedo Black ink pad to stamp all the animals, and sentiments
- Next, I adhered the circles to the front of the card
- The banner die for the sentiment comes from the Stylish Shapes dies
- I added a loopy loop bow behind the sentiment banner using glue dots
- Then, I added dimensionals under the Granny Apple Green sentiment banner making sure to straddle the ribbon and adhered it to the front of the card
- To finish off the front, I added Darling Duckling dots
- For the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the Silly Safari stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink
- Finally, I stamped the leaf included in the stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Loopy Loop Bow:
I was able to watch Mary Deatherage’s, from Stamps -n- Lingers, Perfectly Pears tutorial. In that video, she showed her loopy-loop bow. That’s what I used for the front of my card. I’m bow-challenged and this technique allows me to relatively easily add ribbon without adding the bulk of a tied bow. If you’ve never seen her videos, you owe it to yourself to watch them. I think she’s the Queen of the Collage. Gorgeous cards!!
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
