BIRD’S EYE VIEW PLAY DAY PROJECT!

 Hi, Friends,

Today I have another July Play Day project for you.  This one uses the Bird’s Eye View stamp set and Radiating Stitches Dies.  The Radiating Stitches Dies are another Online Exclusive that you won’t find in the catalog.  Go to stampinup.com and search for Online Exclusives.  Here is my card:

It is a bit different fold, the card base is 4-1/4 x 9-3/4, scored at 5-1/2, which means you can see a tiny bit of the inside when it is shut.  

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  Bird’s Eye View, Best Family Ever

     CARDSTOCK:

          Crumb Cake:  4-1/4 x 9-3/4, scored at 5-1/2

          Lost Lagoon:  4 x 4

          Inked Botanicals DSP:  3-7/8 x 3-7/8

          SCRAPS:  Basic White, Lost Lagoon

          INSIDE:

               Lost Lagoon:  4 x 5-1/4

               Basic White:  3-7/8 x 5-1/8

     BLENDS:  Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Pebbled Path (L), Daffodil Delight (D)

     DIES:  Radiating Stitches Dies

     MISCELLANEOUS:  SU Die Cut Machine, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

And a look at the inside of the card:

I stamped the leaves in two corners of the inside panel and colored them with the Granny Apple Green Blends markers (my favorite markers).

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Adhere patterned paper to right side of Basic White Cardstock; adhere to Lost Lagoon Cardstock; adhere panel to inside of card base.

3.  Adhere patterned paper to Lost Lagoon Cardstock.  Adhere panel to front of card base.

4.  Stamp tree limb using Early Espresso ink; stamp leaves at end of branch using Early Espresso ink, and stamp bird on branch using Early Espresso ink on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.

5.  Cut out stamped images using die and SU Die Cut Machine.

6.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp sentiment on upper right corner of die cut image.  Color images using markers.

7.  Adhere stamped image to Lost Lagoon Cardstock.

8.  Attach stamped panel to front of card base using dimensionals.

9.  Add rhinestones (see sample for placement).

I hope your day is filled with sunshine and a bit of time for stamping!

Happy stamping,

Linda

ZANY ZOO MAY 2023 PLAY DAY PROJECT

 Hello, Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing the third project we made at May Play Day.  We used the Zany Zoo stamp set along with the Zoo Crew DSP.  One side of the Zoo Crew DSP has the whimsical drawings of animals, which are cute, but the flip side is all black and white prints, which are very, very versitle!  

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  Zany Zoo, Best Family Ever

     CARDSTOCK:

          Gray Granite:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4

          Basic Black:  4 x 5-1/4

          Zoo Crew DSP:  3-7/8 x 3-7/8

          Zoo Crew DSP:  1-1/2 x 3-7/8

          Basic Black:  3/8 x 3-7/8

          SCRAPS:  Basic White, Gray Granite, Basic Black

          INSIDE:

               Basic Black:  3-3/4 x 5

               Basic White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

     BLENDS:  Gray Granite, Real Red (D), Flirty Flamingo (D), Daffodil Delight (D), Pumpkin Pie (D)

     DIES:  Radiating Stitches Dies, Cracker and Treat Box Dies

     MISCELLANEOUS:  SU Die Cut Machine, Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

I kept the inside of the card simple (maybe except that there is a bit of coloring).  We stamped the sweet little raccoon on the lower right corner and colored him in.  

HOW WE MADE IT:

1.  Use Early Espresso ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Stamp raccoon stamp on lower right corner of inside panel using Early Espresso ink.  Color using markers.

3.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

4.  Adhere patterned paper to Basic Black Cardstock; adhere strip of Basic Black Cardstock to seam of patterned paper.

5.  Tie Baker’s Twine around strip of Basic Black Cardstock.

6.  Adhere panel to front of card base.

7.  Stamp raccoon on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.  Cut out using die and SU Die Cut Machine.  Color using markers.

8.  Adhere stamped image to Basic Black die cut panel.

9.  Attach die cut panel to front of card base using dimensionals.

10.  Stamp sentiment on scrap of Gray Granite Cardstock.  Cut out using die and SU Die Cut Machine.

11.  Add Rhinestones (see sample for placement).

I love the way this card turned out—black and white with a pop of color is always a good choice!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy stamping,

Linda
