Animal Outing Birthday Card for theStamper by the Dozen June Hop

June 15, 2018 by Judi Anderson 6 Comments

15 Jun

Children love visiting the zoo so what makes a better birthday card than the kangaroo from the Animal Outing stamp set? My granddaughter says,” I love to watch the kangaroos hop, but grandma,this kangaroo is so silly cause it has a koala in its pouch, not a baby kangaroo!”

The balloons and the sentiment are from the Balloon Celebration stamp set and coordinate perfectly for this card. I water colored the balloons using my Aqua Painter and the following new colors added during our color refresh; Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, and Coastal Cabana. You are going to love using these colors on your projects to give them a bright and happy feeling.

Surprise!! This isn’t a full size card. I added a 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 strip of 2018-2020 In-Color (Lovely Lipstick) 6×6 Designer Series Paper (1469630) to the upper left hand corner of the image mat. I then mounted the image onto a 3 1/4″ x 9″ piece of Mango Melody cardstock, and scored it at 4 1/2″. This is what created the mini card. I colored the balloons before punching them out using the Balloon Bouquet punch,. To create the illusion of them floating I adhered them using our Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and SNAIL. See the Lovely Lipstick balloon? I stamped the head of the kangaroo and then cut around the head and ears to give the illusion that it is behind the kangaroo. I also added a touch of Wink of Stella to the balloons.

I added a 3 x 4 piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside, stamped the sentiment and one more balloon was the finishing touch.

Are you thinking,” Judi, you didn’t get the layers on too even!” Nothing on this card is centered, which does drive me a bit wacky!! I love even, centered layouts but will change things up a bit just to throw myself off. When I do this I often find myself liking the uneveness. I do love this layout and the way the card turned out. You can’t help but smile when you see it!
