Happy Giraffes

Posted on February 28, 2017 | Leave a comment

Happy Tuesday!

It seems like everyone in my Facebook feed is waiting for April the giraffe to have her new baby. If you haven’t seen the live feed you can see it here. I thought to myself this would be a perfect time to use my Designer Giraffe Craft Stamp by Karmabee from Simply Stamps. Love the fun zentangled design in the giraffes!

I started by stamping my giraffes onto a post-it note (I used a couple and glued them together so I would have the sticky at both the head and feet areas.

I used a pair of scissors to cut out my image creating a mask.

I stamped the image onto a piece of white cardstock with black ink.

Next I carefully covered the image with my giraffe mask.

I placed my stencil (Polka from Brutus Monroe) over my image and sponged ink (Ranger Distress Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers) and then repositioned the stencil and sponged on a layer of Twisted Citron.

I removed the mask and added a little coloring to the giraffes with markers (Zig Clean Color). I used my Happy Everything stamp – this is a Custom One Line stamp from Simply Stamps. Have you ever wanted a special phrase and couldn’t find it anywhere? Simply Stamps has your problem solved.

I hope you enjoyed my project!!!

Have a great day! Jeanne

I just had to use the rooster from On The Farm for my project!

I sponged a background (Broken China, Candied Apple, and Seedless Preserves) and then used the Heart Swirl stencil over the top with white acrylic paint and Seedless Preserves ink.

Next I cut a quick masked and splattered some thinned white paint and then stamped the Grid stamp from 3171-LG Ringtones with Broken China ink.

Eeek! Rooster! I love him! I sponged the cute rooster from On The Farm and then used it as a guide to paint my rooster with watercolors.

I finished with sponging in some of the extra elements from On The Farm and the I added my DIE382-D Get Well Soon die cut.

Welcome to the Momenta and CardMaker Blog Hop!

Momenta will be hosting a giveaway on their Facebook page! Please head over to for details on how to enter for a chance to win!

If you came from the CardMaker blog you are in the right place! If not head back over there to the beginning of the hop.

All papers, stamps and embellishments used on my project are from Momenta.

I started by lining up my front and back panel and stamping the feather (Stamp & Die Combo Large Feathers)on both layers with my MISTI (My Sweet Petunia)

Next I stamped the flowers and border (Stamp and Stencil pack Butterfly and Birds) and layered my larger panel on a kraft card base.

I added a sentiment (Stamp and Stencil pack Butterfly and Birds).

To make my embellishment I used a stencil from Stamp and Stencil pack Butterfly and Birds and Rose Metallic and Brown Semi Gloss paints to make my butterfly on the cute doily.
