Hello….it’s a New Year…well almost two weeks in…and I’m bringing back Mixed-Up Mondays. Every Monday, I’ll be posting a project that mixes items from the new 2020 Mini Catalog and the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. We have a new Mini Catalog….and checking out all the goodies, it’s easy to forget to use the stamp sets or papers that are in the Annual Catalog that we already have because…well, we just want to play with all the new stuff! But, let’s face it, our budgets are limited, so lets use what we can and purchase wisely! Thankfully, Stampin’ Up products are great because the colors and papers are all color coordinated, so it can be easy to mix-it-up!
Today, I used the Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set (2020 Mini Catalog) with the DinoRoar Designer Series Paper (2019-2020 Annual Catalog).
This piece of DinoRoar paper is perfect for my card because it looks like banners. Birthday banners! And the colors coordinate with colors that make great lions and koala bears. Perfect Combo, don’t you think?
This card is super fun….because not only does is have koalas and lions, but you can take them out and play with them! The Whisper White Panel with the sentiment is only secured on three sides….the top is open, so you can slide the animals in and out….change the colors or add more!
Birthday cards should be fun right? I was thinking about adding little “stands” to the back so they could be like paper dolls….if anyone else besides me remember those!
If you’d like to make this card, this is what you will need:
- Bonanza Buddies Bundle (Bonanza Buddies Stamps Set & Bonanza Dies)
- Coastal Cabana Cardstock – Cut 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”; Score and fold at 4 1/4”, plus a piece Cut 3 1/2” x 2 1/4” and a scrap for the banner.
- Mango Melody Cardstock – Cut 5 1/4” x 4”, and a scrap for the banner
- DinoRoar Designer Series Paper – Cut 5” x 3 3/4”, plus a strip cut 1/4” x 5 1/4” for the inside.
- Whisper White Cardstock – A piece 1 1/4” x 3 1/4” for the Rectangle Stitched Die (or cut 3 1/4” x 2”); plus a piece cut 5 1/4” x 4” (inside of card) and a piece cut 4” x 2 1/4” (2 koalaS) and a piece cut 4” x 2 1/4” (1 lion)Was
- Ink: Mango Melody, TerraCotta Tile, Basic Gray, Tuxedo Black Memento, Bermuda Bay
- Snail or Multipurpose Liquid Glue
- Optional – Rectangle Stitched Dies
You can see here that I also added a small strip of the DinoRoar Designer Series Paper to the inside. And it just so happens that because of the way it was cut (which I realized when I was adhering it) that it looks like a duck face. Now I challenge you to go back and look at the picture of the entire card. I bet you see duck faces instead of a pattern of random triangles and dots. Now that’s what I call fun with cards!
Which is your favorite animal? The Koala? Or the Lion? Later this week, I’m going to introduce you to the Toucan….so make sure to follow my blog (the link is on the right hand side) so you don’t miss out!
Happy Stamping!
