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

     INK:  Early Espresso

     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,

CHEERFUL DAISIES BIRTHDAY CARD

 Hi, Friends,

Today I am sharing another card from May Play Day.  It uses the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and dies and the beautiful Fresh as a Daisy DSP.  It may not show up in the picture, but we used Wink of Stella on the daisies to make them sparkle!

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  Cheerful Daisies, Zany Zoo (sentiment)

     CARDSTOCK:

          Crumb Cake:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4

          Crushed Curry:  3-1/2 x 4-3/4

          Fresh as a Daisy DSP:  3 x 4-1/2 (cut into three 1 x 4-1/2 strips)

          SCRAPS:  Basic White, Crushed Curry

     INSIDE:

          Garden Green:  3-3/4 x 5

          Basic White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

     INK:  Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Gray Granite

     BLENDS:  Daffodil Delight (D)

     DIES:  Cheerful Daisies Dies

     MISCELLANEOUS:  SU Die Cut Machine, Dimensionals, Rhinestones, Wink of Stella

The large daisy is die cut and popped up using dimensionals.  I feel like the Queen of Dimensionals, since I rarely make a card without them!

The inside of the card looks like this:

We simply stamped a small daisy on the lower right corner, colored the center and used Wink of Stella on the daisy petals.

HOW WE MADE IT:

1.  Use Garden Green ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Stamp daisy petals using Gray Granite ink on lower right corner of inside panel.  Use Crushed Curry ink to stamp flower center, then fill in by coloring with Daffodil Delight Blend marker.

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

4.  Adhere three strips of patterned paper to Crushed Curry Cardstock.  The patterned paper lines up, so look at it carefully before adhering it down.

5.  Adhere Crushed Curry Cardstock strip about one inch from bottom of panel.

6.  Use Garden Green ink to stamp sentiment on scrap of Crushed Curry Cardstock.  Cut out using die and SU Die Cut Machine, making sure that the sentiment is to the right of the die cut.

7.  Adhere sentiment die cut on right side of Crushed Curry strip.  

8.  Stamp large daisy using Gray Granite ink on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.  Cut out using die and SU Die Cut Machine.  Color petals using Wink of Stella.

9.  Use Crushed Curry ink to stamp center of daisy on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.  Color in using Daffodil Delight Blend marker.  Fussy cut and adhere to center of daisy.

10.  Stamp two leaves using Garden Green ink on scrap of Basic White Cardstock.  Fussy cut and adhere to card base (see sample and lay daisy die cut down to determine placement).

11.  Attach large daisy to front of card base using dimensionals.

12.  Add rhinestones (see sample for placement).
