Avery Elle: Balloon Giraffe

Hello and welcome to another week!  Todays Avery Elle card features another of their fabulous ballon animal stamp sets – the Giraffe!  This goes hand in hand with their other sets Party Bunny and Party Animal! I stamped the balloon Giraffe in Versamark onto black card and heat embossed it in clear powder.  You can just about make out the detail but black is so hard to photograph!!!  I wanted this card to be for my little nephew who just turned 6 so to keep it simple and a bit more “boyish” I added the frame detail using the Scalloped Frame die and die cut some stars from the Finished Frames set.  I also cut the Simply Said: Amazing die from black and used the companion stamp set to finish off the sentiment.

As a cat lover and owner of two of the cutest kitties ever, this set from Newton’s Nook called Naughty Newton really makes sense to me!  It has come fab images of Newton getting into trouble but the one that hits home the most to me is this one where he’s clawing the furniture!  I have so many ruined chairs because of this kind of activity!!  I took some wood effect paper and simply cut some shapes to create a sideboard and then stamped just the claw marks in Versamark and heat embossed them in white.  The I stamped and coloured the kitty and cut him out and then placed him so he looked like he was scratching the furniture! For the background I used some paper from the July Simon Says Stamp card Kit and also stamped some bits and pieces from the To Thine Own Shelf stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

I absolutely LOVE this image – how many times have you laughed so hard that you literally worried you might just have an accident (don’t be shy – we’ve all been there, lol!).  I didn’t think this card really needed much more than this great image so kept it really simple and coloured it with Copics and mounted it on a card covered with some patterned paper from the Avery Elle Sorbet collection.   The sentiment is from a Lil’ Inkers set called Snarky Sentiments but I can’t find it to link to – maybe it’s discontinued 🙁
