Giraffe 2 Slimline Card | Whimsy Stamps

Hello crafty friends!

Today I have another giraffe card from the Giraffe 2 stamp set and the Slimeline Window die to create a slimline card! 

To begin my card I started by cutting a piece of #80 Neenah cardstock to 8.75x3.5. I inked the panel with Scattered Straw Distressed Oxide Ink, then placed the Giraffe Stencil on top of the inked panel and inked the panel again with Rusty Hinge Distressed Oxide Ink. Then cut the panel with the Slimline Window die. I popped up the positive piece of the panel with foam tape onto my card base then used liquid glue to place the negative pieces in like puzzle pieces matching the giraffe dots.

Next I inked my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Neenah #80 cardstock and began coloring with Copic markers.  I trimmed the images out with my Brother Scan n Cut machine and adhered them with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. I heat embossed the sentiment Hello There on black cardstock and trimmed it out with my paper trimmer and used foam tape to pop it up on my card. To finish my card I used the Nuvo Shimmer pen for some shimmer, added matching enamel dots and a white gel pen.

And that's my card for today, I hope you enjoyed!

Giraffe 2 | Whimsy Stamps New Releasse

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

Today I'm sharing a card using the new release stamp set Giraffe 2, along with the new Giraffe stencil and previously released Swiss Dots A2 Die. 

I began with an A2 sized panel of Neenah Solar White #80 cardstock. I ink blended the entire panel with my lightest color, Scattered Straw Distress Oxide. Then I placed the Giraffe stencil on top and ink blended over the Scattered Straw with Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide. I thought these were the perfect giraffe colors. My next step, I die cut the panel with the Swiss Dots A2 die. I used an an A2 sized top folding note card and popped up the die cut piece with foam tape. I used liquid glue to adhere the negative pieces into the circles like puzzle pieces.

I used another A2 sized panel of Neenah Solar White #80 cardstock and stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them using Copic markers and trimmed them out with my Brother Scan and Cut machine. I arranged the images on the panel and adhered them down with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. I added a little shimmer with my Nuvo Shimmer Pen, added enamel dots and white gel pen highlights for interest. I heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock, trimmed it down with a paper trimmer and popped it up with foam tape. I love the dimension on this card!

I had an extra colored giraffe so I adhered him with liquid glue on the inside of my card and stamped the sentiment "I really miss you" next to him. And that finished my card. I love decorating the inside of my cards, it's just a nice finishing touch to me.
