Jungle Birthday

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam on the blog this fine Thursday!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  And I also want to wish you a very Happy New Year! I am getting started on my Birthday cards for 2021!  Luckily I don't have any birthdays in January so that gives me a months head start.  I am using some of the adorable critters from the Safari Release.  Today I used the cute lion and giraffe on this fun birthday card.

Design Steps

1.  Use a piece of kraft card stock as the A2 base, green card stock cut 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, DP cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8, use the second from the largest Wide Pierced Rectangle Frame Die to cut a green frame and finally a piece of white card stock 2 1/2 x 3 1/2

2.  On the small piece of white card stock sponge in clouds using blue ink and a stencil

3. Glue the green card stock to the kraft card base and then glue down the DP to the green card stock.  Glue the white cloud rectangle to the center of the card.  Place dimension tape to the back of the frame

4.  Center the frame right over the top of the clouds and then pop it down

5.  Cut all of the leaves out of 3 shades of green using the Safari Adventure Gang die and the Safari Monkey, cut the pieces for the lion using the Safari Lion die and last cut all the pieces for the giraffe using the Safari Giraffe die.  Assemble the animals using a fine tip glue

6.  Arrange your animals and leaves to create your jungle scene

7.  Stamp the sentiment and then use the Pierced Circle die to cut it out.  Add to your scene and your card is complete

Black Friday Release Samples

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit on this Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

We have a brand new Black Friday Safari release available in the online store. There are 16 new designs in this release. There is something for everyone to help you create birthday, anniversary, thinking of you, graduation, get well and thank you cards. Let your creativity and imagination run wild with these dies.


And, you can pick these new dies up at a great bundle price of only $89.95. But don't wait because the bundle price only lasts for the next 10 days. The sale will end on December 4th.

The DT has created some really cute cards for your inspiration and we have been featuring them over the last couple of days. If you missed those posts check them out here and here. Now, let's get started with our cards for today.

Card 1: Our first sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She created a fun fold stand up card and using the new Safari Adventure Gang.  Who's watching who! This adorable gang is having a wild time on their people watching safari! Notice the binoculars and camera the animals are holding!

 

The woven designer paper and stenciled sky are a perfect fit for these safari friends. The "Go Wild" phrase is from the new Safari Phrases die. This would make for a great way to say "Happy Birthday", you only need to add your message and signature!

Here is a photo of her card closed. 

Card 2: Our next sample is from Anja Zurga. We are doing a little change up and featuring a Christmas card from our Christmas Part 3 release and it's on sale as well. She used the Snow Babies die to create this sweet card. This pair is so precious. Her beautiful nighttime sky was done with distress oxide inks and flicks of white paint to give the illusion of snow. The sentiment is heat embossed to make it stand out. 

Card 3:  Our last sample for today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the Safari Monkey die to create a card of encouragement. Couldn't we all use a card like this one during these trying times? The vine she added all around the oval frame just adds to the fun vibe the monkey is creating.  The finishing touch is the sentiment which is a fun play on words.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some creative ideas for different ways to use these new Safari dies. We will be back on Sunday with more samples from this release. Check out the online store for the big Black Friday sale with savings of up to 85% on selected dies.
