Stampin' Up! Animal Outing Stamp Set

I've had the Stampin' Up! Animal Outing set sitting on my work surface for a couple of weeks.  It's so cute, I really wanted to use it as soon as possible.  However, I kept covering it up and losing it (I'm sure that's never happened to anyone else) as I rotated projects around my work space.  Today I dug it out from under some of my normally messy space and decided today was the day to create a card with this set.  Its been a little overcast and gray and it just felt right to use the new Gray Granite cardstock and a new Gray Granite ribbon.      

     



The basecard for this card is Night of Navy.  The next layer is Whisper White.  Then the image layer is Gray Granite.    

I  stamped the rhino and bird image from the Animal Outing stamp set in Night of Navy on the Gray Granite layer.
   




The sentiment is also from the Animal Outing set.  Its stamped in Night of Navy on a scrap of Whisper White and punched out with one of the Stitched Label Thinlits. 

I used Best Route Washi Tape to create the blue boarder along the bottom of the card above the ribbon.  The Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon is tied in a knot at the bottom of the card.     

        


I added a small gray Metallic Pearl to the sentiment and one more above the rhino.  

This set includes several other cute animals that you'll love for creating both adult and children's cards.  Check it out today!

Stampin' Up! Blended Seasons Stamp Set - Limited-Time Offer

  • Purchase Blended Seasons Stamp Set during August only
  • Check out how this stamp set can be used for every season
  • Bonus Coupon Days during August help you save in September

Stampin' Up! Blended Seasons Stamp Set

I looked at the new Stampin' Up! Blended Seasons Stamp Set and was so happy that this set includes images for every season.  This makes it one of the most versatile stamp set you can purchase. While the images I chose today would look great in spring or summer subtle ink shades, I decide to use the images to create a background for my card and then highlighted one of the images as a focal point using less traditional colors.     

     



The basecard for this card is Crumb Cake.  The next layer is Night of Navy.  Then I created a background layer using another layer of Crumb Cake stamped all over with the flower and leaves images from this stamp set using Night of Navy ink.  

I didn't want to cover any of the stamped background, so rather than using the coordinating Stitched Season Framelits Dies, which is solid, I selected a die from the Stained Glass Thinlits dies to let as much of the stamped background show through.  I did use the Stitched Season Framelit Dies to create the leaves tucked under the flower.    

   




The flower focal point flower was stamped in Night of Navy ink on Crumb Cake Cardstock.  Then I fussy-cut the image.  I grabbed an Aqua Painter and my Night of Navy stamp pad and lightly colored the flower image.  Then I popped it up on dimensionals and added it to the card. 

The Thank You Sentiment is from the Color Your Season set, one of several sentiments included with this set.  Again, I wanted the background image to show through, so I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a piece of Vellum Cardstock.  To hide the mini glue dots used to secure the vellum, I added two small gold Metallic Pearls.  I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

     

        


Here are a few more samples using this versatile stamp set.   If you can't wait for the Holiday catalog coming out September 5 to start your fall and holiday projects, this set and coordinating dies is a great way to get a start now.
