Animal Stories of all kinds

• Just three more days for the scrapbooking special for the month of May. This card was made with the stamp set called Animal Stories. It is on special for 30% off the regular price. Don't miss out on it.  I also used Circle Circus and Teeny Tiny Wishes. The kiss technique was used to get that pattern on the giraffe. First I inked it up with Apricot Apeal, then I inked up the bubbles stamp from Circle Circus and touched the rubber of the giraffe with it several times before stamping it onto Whisper White card stock.

Here is one made with the whale stamp from the same Animal Stories set. I added some glitter to the "water" to make it sparkle. Everything else is pretty self explanatory. I inked up the embossing folder before running the white cardstock through the Big Shot.

Here I used the owl out of the Animal Stories stamps and just repeated him 3x. Also using Circle Circus for the background.

And one last one is the elephant from the same set. Repeated in Positively Pink, Elegant Eggplant and Summer Sun

If you have any questions leave a comment or email me. Also if you want to order anything to make cards like these email me and I'll be happy to help you. Some of these supplies are retired but the current supplies that Stampin' Up has available make equally (or better) cards and scrapbooking pages.

I would love to hear from you what you think about these cards and thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.

The Owl's Story

I have been making cards with the new stamp set Animal Stories lately. I have grown kids and no grandchildren, yet so this set got set aside for a while. But it is so cute and once the ink gets on that rubber I just love all the stamps. These will be great for scrap booking too, especially for baby and little kid pictures. Like a day at the zoo, or ocean, or a hike in the woods.
I got this card from Amanda. I totally cased her card, except for one significant difference. I did not use the IN COLOR colors. I used the regular line of colors that will always be there. She has been so gracious to let me use her design.

There is a lot going on with this card.

• Let's start with the main card. It's elegant eggplant and it's stamped with the large flower stamp from Circle Circus in elegant eggplant for a bg.
  
• Then the whisper white cs 2 2/3 x 3 1/2 was stamped in tempting turquoise with the Teeny Tiny wishes HB.
• The 3 Ice Circle Rhinestone Brads were added using the mat pack and paper piercer to line them up in a neat row.
  
• This was backed with tempting turquoise cs 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 then more mustard cs. 3 x 4
• A square scallop was punched out of elegant eggplant and mounted on the white.
• The owl was stamped on a scrap of whisper white in more mustard, then using the stamp-a-ma-jig I hit it with a coating of versamark and clear embossing powder, heated it and got the nice shine on it. He was popped up with a dimensional.
• I put a piece of white cs inside, because the e. eggplant is so dark, and stamped a flower circle from circle circus on the bottom right corner and a sentiment in t. turquoise. I forgot to take a picture of that and I already gave this one to a friend for his birthday.
  

He really seemed to like it. His wife stamps also so I think he appreciated it very much.
