Zoo Crew craziness
Hello, welcome to my blog,
My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create something special for those you love. If this is your first time here, thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy what I have to share with you. If you're a returning visitor, thank you so much for supporting me! 😍
This week's cards are created using the Zoo Crew Suite featured in the new Annual catalogue. The suite comprises of the Zany Zoo stamps & dies, Zoo Crew DSP & a duo ribbon pack with Lemon Lime twist & Petal Pink as the focus colours.
Now, our family has had a pretty tough week with my daughter being hit by a car, writing off the one she was driving & resulting in a 3 day stint in hospital & 2 rods in her arm. It's been pretty frightening for us all but she's safely home with her partner & groodle, Daisy, & we can now try to get back on track. Because of this upsetting event I haven't been able to craft as much this week but I did have time for one new creation with this bundle & I've also included a couple of cards that had previously been made. I hope you enjoy what I have to share.
The first card I have for you is a celebration card with lots of bright colours.
On a Basic White card base I added a matte of Lemon Lime Twist. I used the reverse of some of the Zoo Crew DSP which I coloured with Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie & Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Write© markers for the next matte. I fussy cut the raccoon with balloons & the sentiment but used one of the Layering Dioramas dies for the partying pup. The raccoon was coloured with some more markers but the pup didn't need any. The images & sentiment were then mounted on Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie & Lemon Lime Twist cardstock before being attached with dimensionals. No bling needed for this one!
The next card was created for a work friends engagement. She's not a hearts & flowers kind of girl & loves the zany things in life so this suite was perfect for her card.
As we needed a lot of room for our work group to all write a message I created a triple step card with pop up elements.
The base is Lemon Lime Twist for the base & the contrast mattes are Berry Burst & Parakeet Party. I used some Bright & Beautiful DSP & Basic Black cardstock to give it some sharpness.
I stamped some balloons & strings in Mango Melody, Pool Party, Berry Burst, Magenta Madness, Parakeet Party & Blueberry Bushel. I also added some extra mattes on the reverse of the card to allow plenty of room for everyone to write their message.
So that's it for this week's creations. The suite lends itself to co-ordinate with so many different stamp sets already in my stash. I still have so many more creations on the go with this suite but I will be sharing them with you at a later date.
To continue on with sharing my Online Stamping Retreat creations with you, this week I have a Cylindrical Pop Up fun fold created originally by Kylie Bertucci.
It looks just like a regular card at first.
But when you open it up you start to see that it has a special feature inside....
