Do you like to color? Have you ever purchased one of those adult coloring books? I am not one who enjoys coloring. It is tedious, and I find that I just try to hurry up and move on! But, the cute animals in the Festive & Fun stamp set by Stampin’ Up! were just calling my name, and I had to get it!
This card is really easy to make. The impact of the card really comes from the main focal point image, which is this huge, cute giraffe! Here he is, decorating a Christmas tree, and having fun with his Santa hat on. How cute is that!
PLEASE CLICK HERE to watch the video where I made this card. It’s an easy, yet adorable, card to put together!
All you have to do is ink up your stamp with the Black Memento ink pad, and stamp onto our Basic White cardstock. Then, use whatever Stampin’ Blends markers you’d like, and just have fun coloring him in! The Stampin’ Blends markers are alcohol-based markers, which blend together and make you look like an artist. I absolutely LOVE these markers, and I’m so glad I have them!
After he’s all colored in, just cut him out and layer this piece onto a layer of Real Red cardstock. This helps to make the colors POP, especially the red in the Santa hat.
The background of the card is made using the Tiny Christmas Trees die, which is an amazing die! It’s nice and big, so that you can make your entire background with it. I chose to use Lemon Lime Twist for my background color on this card, which is such a fun, bright, playful Christmas color instead of the traditional green.
The sentiment is stamped with the matching Real Red ink, and cut apart into three pieces. It works perfectly this way, so that it lays on the left-hand side of the card.
The red & white striped twine is part of the 2023-24 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack, and it adds the perfect candy cane striped playfulness that this card needed.
What do you think? Isn’t it cute? PLEASE CLICK HERE to see another card I made with this stamp set. All of the animals are just so cute, it’s hard to resist! You can grab this set on my website and start having fun with it!
