Elk Masculine Card

I love the simplicity of the elk image from the Outdoor Adventure bundle. I spritzed water after inking to give a watercolor look. 

Using this fun fold card technique made it easy to highlight the elk with the patterned paper background.

For the card fold:

• Cut cardbase to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 
• Score at 4 1/4 and 2 1/8
• Cut decorative paper at 4 x 5 1/4 and two pieces at 1 7/8 x 5 1/4

I used soft suede and sahara sand inks on the elk and then spritzed before stamping. Also spritzed the trees after inking as well.

 

Z Fold Tri Fold Cherries

 

A fun z fold card for an up coming card workshop. This sweetest cherries stamp set has a matching punch. I used the Artistic Mix stencils for the backgrounds (except for the DSP on the very front flap). For the card base, score at 4 1/2" and fold in half, and score 2 1/4" and fold like an accordion.

Darling Donkey Z Fold Card

 I love this Darling Donkeys stamp set. Purchase $50.00 in any Stampin Up product to earn the set for free during Saleabration through Feb 28, 2021! The expression on the donkey's faces are just adorable! 

SUPPLIES:

• Darling Donkeys sab set 155264
• Stitched Shape framelits 145372
• Distressed Dots background stamp
• Rich Razzleberry cs

I colored the donkeys with a combo of Copic markers and Stampin Blendabilities. 

The stitched rectangles on the front are from thestampsoflife.com. The black background paper is an old pad of patterned paper and I don't know the brand.

For the Z Fold, score your main cardbase at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". 

Cut the white background panels at 4" x 5 1/4", and two at 1 7/8" x 5 1/4". 

Cut the patterened paper (in this case black floral) at 4" x 3" and two at 1 7/8" x 3". Cut the embossed strips that lay over the patterened paper at 4" x 1 1/4" and two at 1 7/8" x 1 1/4".

For the two donkeys on the inside panel I used the squares from Stitched Framlits. 

For the front panel donkey I used rectangle dies from Stamps of Life.
