  Hello all. I am in love with the new Giraffe Love stamp from Technique Junkies .  It's one of the new stamps in the April 2024 New Stamp Release  (15% off through April 25th).  Giraffes always make me smile and are the first animal I gravitate to at the zoo.  And they are so easy to color.  I wanted to take this A2 size stamp and use it to make a slimline card and, I think I managed that.    Come join me and my madness.  LOL First, I stamped Giraffe Love twice on white cardstock.  Then I die-cut them using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die - I wanted a stitched look around the whole card.  To make my card base I used the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio.   The largest die measures 3 5/8" x 8 5/8" so that is what my card base needs to be.  I cut 2 pieces of white cardstock - one at 3 5/8" x 8 5/8" and the other at 3 5/8" x 9 1/8".  I scored 1/2" at the top of the longer piece and adher...

The first thing I did was to stamp Beer Glassware on wh...

  Hello everyone.  Back on March 1st, I shared a shaker card I made using the Zen Circles and Feel Like Sunshine stamps from Technique Junkies , which you can see HERE if you want.  I cannot state enough how much I love this image.   But I had forgotten that I had already started a more in-depth step-by-step with photos, and I never showed the card I made using the negative space I cut from the image.   So, consider this a sort of Part 2 to my March 1st post.  :-)  Card No. 1 - Shaker Card After stamping and coloring the entire Zen Circles image using Ultra Fine Tip BIC Intensity Markers, I used a kraft knife to carefully cut out the area in the center of the card, leaving room around it for foam tape.   I stamped Feel Like Sunshine on the front of my A2 card base.  Then, using my colored piece as a template, I carefully drew around the inside of the center using a pencil.  This way I will know where to place my shaker...
