DT Rianna ~ Pets and Animals

Hi everyone,

This month is full on with birthdays and special occasions, I will be turning 21 this Wednesday (15th November YAY!) how time flies by...but anyway, this month's theme is Pets and Animals at Auzz Trinklets N Crafts and I have created this cute birthday card that I made for my friend's birthday. She has quite a variety of pets!

I always enjoy playing around with multiple stamp sets to create something cute, fun and unique.

~My Process~

First I cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, and folded it in half. Then I cut my card front using My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" ).

I used my Sizzix Big Shot to cut out the card front, clouds and grass.

I used the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the sentiment 'HERD YOU HAD A BIRTHDAY' using Versafine Onyx Black ink and the animals using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the animals onto X-Press It Blending Card so I could use them with my Copic Ciao markers.

Everything was adhered to the card base and card front using Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue.

To add some dimension to the animals eyes and the cat and dog's nose I used a Sakura Glaze pen in black.

Hello! 

November is bringing Pets and Animals projects to you from the Auzz Trinklets and Crafts blog. I decided to pull out a stamp set I have had here for a few months and had not yet had a chance to use.

This card uses Neenah Classic Crest 110# Smooth Solar White Cardstock for the base which is cut with a paper trimmer at 4 1/4" x 11" and scored with a teflon bone folder at 5 1/2" to make a top folding card of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

I used Simon Says Stamp Cardstock in the colours Seaglass, Green Apple and Green Leaf for the sky, grass and tree foliage.

The dies used were Lawn Fawn Stitched Tree Borders, Puffy Clouds Borders and Grassy Hillside Borders. The tree trunks were coloured with Copic Markers E17 and E 79.

The cat was stamped in Altenew Inks, Paper Bag and Dark Chocolate from Altenew Modern Cats and the grass clumps were stamped from an older set, My Favorite Things Modern Blooms.

The sentiment was also from Altenew Modern Cats stamp set, stamped in Versamark Ink and twice embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder.

I embellished the card using Ranger Liquid Pearls in Ruby Red and Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops in Simply White.

Thankyou for following along with me today. If you cannot find the items I have used (listed below) in the Auzz Trinklets and Crafts store, be sure to drop Neha a message via email or Facebook and she will do what she can to order the product in for you.

Hello everyone!

This month we are sharing projects featuring animals on the Auzz Trinklets and Crafts blog. Many companies have brilliant creature stamps and Neha has numerous styles of animal stamps in the store, from Katzelkraft critters to Clearly Besotted beasties to Lawn Fawn fauna - you are sure to find something to suit your style!

Today I am again working with stamps from one of my favourite companies, My Favorite Things.

This card uses Neenah Classic Crest 110lb Smooth Solar White Cardstock for the base which is cut with a paper trimmer at 4 1/4" x 11" and scored with a teflon bone folder at 5 1/2" to make a top folding card of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

I die cut a frame with a Sizzix Big Shot Machine from My Favorite Things Dienamics Stitched Cover-Up Companion - Vertical four times from Neenah Classic Crest 80lb Smooth Solar White Cardstock and adhered these together on top of each other using Ranger Multi Medium Matte. I stamped the sentiment from the new My Favorite Things Happy Hippos on the centre of the frame with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and then adhered the frame to the card base. 

I used the same die to cut a small rectangle piece from My Favorite Things Calm & Cozy Chevron 6x6 Paper Pack to fit inside the bottom rectangle of the frame. I first adhered it to one piece of Neenah cardstock left over from the frames I cut earlier and adhered it in place to the card base. I then diecut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100lb Cardstock - Green Apple with Lawn Fawn Stitched Mountain Borders and a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100lb Cardstock - Seaglass with the same die. I pieced these together, adhering them to one larger rectangle piece of Neenah cardstock from the top of the frame. I then cut away the overhanging pieces of coloured cardstock with Tim Holtz Kushgrip Scissors and placed the rectangle back into the larger rectangle of the frame and ran it through the Sizzix Bigshot Machine again in order to have the stitched edge on the rectangle piece. I adhered this in place onto the card base.

I cut the sun from the Simon Says Stamp 100lb Cardstock - Sunshine with the Mama Elephant Stitched Sky die set and trimmed the rays off a little at the top and on the right using a mini guillotine, similar to the Tonic Studio guillotine. This enabled me to tuck it snugly into the corner inside the frame.

I then stamped the hippo, birds and balloons from the My Favorite Things Happy Hippos in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, using my Misti Stamping Tool onto X-Press It Blending card. I coloured these using Copic Markers and cut each image using a Brother Scan n Cut as I did not have the coordinating dies on hand. I placed these onto the card using 3M Scotch Double Sided Foam Tape to add dimension.

I completed the card by adding Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins - 4mm and 6mm.

Thankyou for following along with me today. If you cannot find the items I have used (listed below) in the Auzz Trinklets and Crafts store, be sure to drop Neha a message via email or Facebook and she will do what she can to order the product in for you.
