Crocodile Birthday
Today’s card is a little different. I wanted to use the crocodile/alligator image from the Jungle Pals stamp set but I wanted to create a seaside look. I stamped the sand image from the Oceanfront stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the sea image from the same stamp set using Azure Afternoon ink.
I stamped the sky image using Balmy Blue ink. I die cut Early Espresso card using the tree die from the Jungle Pals Dies and attached it down the left hand side of the stamped card. I die cut the leaves from Lost Lagoon card and attached them to the tree.
I also die cut Lost Lagoon card using the grass die from the Jungle Pals Dies. I stamped the crocodile/alligator image onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it using the Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends. I layered the grass and the crocodile images onto the card front. I stamped “happy” and “birthday” from the Biggest Wish stamp set onto the right hand side of the Basic White card using Early Espresso ink. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Lost Lagoon card. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped one of the greetings from the Very Best Occasions stamp set onto Basic White card using Lost Lagoon ink.
This is such a fun set to create with. I hope you have already placed you order for this as today is the last day it will be available.
Bye for now.

Rosey Birthday
My daughter recently celebrated her birthday and I thought I would share the card I made for her with you. I followed some instructions by Teri Pocock to create a Double Z-Fold card. I cut my card bases from Pebbled Path card and layered the large card base with pieces of the Softly Stippled 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (you can earn this for Free with a $90.00 order until the end of February). I embossed all of the Basic White panels for the smaller card base using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.
I stamped the floral images and leaf image from the Stippled Roses stamp set several times each onto Basic White card using Lost Lagoon ink. I stamped the same floral images several times onto Basic White card using Calypso Coral ink.
I fussy cut the flowers and cut down the large images so that I could attached them across the embossed panels. I did attach the small flower on the card front using dimensionals. I inked only the “birthday wishes” from the greeting stamp in the Stippled Roses stamp set using Calypso coral and stamped onto Basic White card.
I used one of the banner dies from the Sending Dies to cut out the greeting. I did cut it twice to make the banner fit tightly around the words. The greeting is attached to the front panel using dimensionals. Once all of the flowers were attached I attached the small card base onto the Designer Series Paper panels. I attached Basic White card to Wild Wheat card and attached it to the back of the card to give me somewhere to write my message. I attached another of the flowers that I had stamped using Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral ink to the lower left hand corner of the panel.
I love how this card turned out and Teri is so generous in giving dimensions in both centimetres and inches. Thank you Teri.

The greeting is attached to the card front using dimensionals
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set onto Basic White card using Bubble Bath ink. I had a flower left over from colouring another piece of embossed Basic White card which I cut out and attached to the lower left hand corner of the stamped card. I just love how pretty this card turned out. I was excited to pair the embossing Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder with the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle from the new Mini Catalogue and also with the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set which you can earn for Free during Sale-a-Bration (just place a $90.00 order).

Wedding
My photo today showcases a photograph taken at my Dad’s cousin’s wedding in around 1972/73. I cut two circles from Pool Party card using the Deckled Circle Dies. The circles are embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I attached one circle to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I cut a piece of Zoo Crew 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper which I attached across the centre of the page, covering the bottom of the attached circle. I cut Pool Party card using one of the Delightful Doily Dies and attached it to the page.
I attached the second embossed circle so that it sits partially over the doily. I printed my title and journaling onto Basic White card and cut them out using one of the banners from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I attached the title to the left hand side of the page and the journaling to the right hand side. I attached the photo to Basic White card, then Basic Black card before attaching it to the page. I stamped the small flower from the Stippled Rose stamp set onto Basic White card twice, once using Lost Lagoon ink and once using Fresh Freesia ink. I used the co-ordinating Stippled Rose Die. I trimmed the leaves from the Fresh Freesia image and attached it to the Lost Lagoon image before attaching it to the page using dimensionals. I am glad that I am starting to scrap more of the photos that my Dad gave me so that I can get his input as to who everyone is.

Heartfelt Hellos
Is one of the stamp sets that you can earn for free during Sale-a-Bration, just place an order for $90.00. The great thing about this stamp set is that it co-ordinates beautifully with the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle. So for today’s card I used the Rays of Light Background stamp and coloured it using Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight and Azure Blue Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the image onto Basic White card and cut it out using one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies.
I attached it to a Night of Navy rectangle cut using the same dies and then scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped the border image from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink.
I stamped the greeting from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set inside the border using Night of Navy ink. I also stamped the filigree image from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set before punching out the image using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I attached the greeting to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped another greeting from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I attached the stamped panel to Night of Navy card before attaching it inside the card base. I just love how fun this card is and that you can combine these two stamp sets for lots of different styles of card. I think this is going to be very popular with everyone.

Today’s page shows off a photo of me when I was only one year old. I cut two different patterns from the Flight & Airy 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper three times using one of the squares from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also cut Bubble Bath card three times using the same die. The squares are attached down the left hand side of a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I attached the photo to Basic Gray and then to the page, overlapping the squares slightly.
I cut the title from Basic Gray card using the Mini Alphabet Dies and attached it across the top of the photo. I cut a circle from Basic White card using one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut the floral bird image from the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper and attached it to the circle. The whole panel is attached to the page using dimensionals. I used a Basic Gray Stampin’ Write Marker to add the date below the photo. Another simple page but one that I am sure my family will love to see.
