Animal Stories Something Sweet

I have heard of a new baby on the way so wanted to make a card for the happy couple but as I don't know whether it's a boy or girl yet........... decided on the neutral colours of Crumb Cake and Early Espresso, the stamp set I used for this is the Giraffe from Animal Stories and the sentiment is from Something Sweet set.  I really must buy the Bundle of Love set as there seems to be lots of new babies popping into the world soon and that set is really perfect.  I will have to put an order in for it.  If you would like me to add a little order for you then just email me with your details or call me 01299 269274.

.............Until tomorrow...............be crafty..........

Animal Stories always friends

You know when you have a friend who is always there for you? well I made this card with that in mind and what better set to use than Animal Stories.  I would stand on a ball to reach out to my friends.  The Always is from Always Elegant stamp set and the friends is from the Just Believe set.... more from that one later in the week if I get chance to do some crafting......

............Until Tomorrow..........be crafty..........

Elephants never forget!!

Just love this little Nellie elephant from Animal Stories stamp set, she is on the ball again and as you would expect doesn’t forget birthdays (unlike me sometimes) especially great nephews and nieces, well there are so many of them these days so it’s hard for us old ’uns to remember!!!

Anyway, this was made using the new colours Soft Suede and Melon Mambo. the sentiment is from whimsical words SAB set. (I still have a Sale-a-bration Whimsical Word set and of the couple others, if you check out my post 23rd May you will find more details there). I Stamped Nellie in Basic Gray ink, and the ball is from Circle Circus set, the little flower a punch out from the Boho Blossom punch.

………. Until tomorrow…… be crafty…….

I Wanna tell you a story....

For the 'Old uns' out there this was Max Bygraves!!

Now for my story on the little owl "Olly".... I love the Animal Stories set it's so sweet! I did this little 4 x 4 card using chocolate chip card and DSP. I scored a frame using the bone folder then stamped "Olly" in the scored frame, stamped him again added a dimensional pad and voila. Attached some choc chip grosgrain ribbon across the score line all on Barely Banana card and stamped 'hello' from Hello Again Stamp set and finished it off with 3 vintage brads.

Simple! would make a nice male card I think.

Animal stories

Love this little elephant I have given her the name Nellie! well what else would you expect?

I used Pink Passion Basic Gray and Pixie Pink for the card and stamped the pixie pink with a stamp from the circle circus stamp set with Pink Passion ink.

The piece down the left hand side is from the Speciality Paper Bride and I brayered it with Basic Gray. You should try this with other colours of ink it looks so good and keeps the lovely scroll effect in white.

I punched a flower from boho blossom punch and used a brad from the pretties kit (just love the pretties kit # 109887 £23.25 and soooooo much in this kit) the ball nellie is standing on is a stamp from the circle circus stamp set.
