"A Little Wild" Lion

Hello there,
I was totally going to blog this card yesterday but, as I mentioned yesterday morning on my social media, my hubby and I took a last minute trip to London to the Grand designs show! It was a real last minute decision and such a fun thing to do :-)
Anyway, I have made about a million cards this week, sadly I can't share most of them with you here as they were either for magazine commissions or getting ready to share with you here, but later in the week *-*
This card however, was from my last blends class a few weeks ago and we made a real mixed bag of card styles at the class. This is the a clean and simple card using the "A Little Wild" stamps and dies, it's not just for tags, right?

 Can't beat a stitched square and the vines are included in the A Little Wild die set, such a great addition to the die set and perfect for backgrounds.

 I thought I'd share my colouring for this little lion. I didn't want a really bright yellow for him so I started with light crumb cake which just toned down the colour for his body...

 I've left it without a sentiment for now so it can be flexible for when I next need a card, perhaps even just for a little note. I am actually trying to do that a bit more when I make cards so hopefully I have a card at the ready for many occasions. Do you always put a sentiment on a card?

So, that's all for today, I hope you enjoyed today's card?
I have a long list of things to get done today, the highlight of which will be getting ready for tomorrow's card class which will be after the, not so exciting, housework ;-)
But I should be back tomorrow with another card for you.
Till then, happy stamping!

'A Little Wild' Lion by Stampin' Up!

Hello!
I'm back with another "A Little Wild" card! This time I've used the little lion to make another peek-a-boo card, notice the little loop of twine under the lion?
 I teamed him with some paper from the wood textures pad for a rustic look, lets see shall we?

I die cut a circle from the paper using the stitched edge framelits (have you noticed how much I adore these??) and added a little **Halloween Night bakers twine** around the bottom before adhering it flat then popped the circle up on dimensionals.
**At the time of writing this post this twine is still available on the clearance rack for just £2.20 - and thats for two spools!! Go, go, go!!!**

I die cut the stamped and coloured lion from shimmer card using the matching framelits. I then die cut a second, plain layer so I could add the loop of twine between the layers to keep it hidden. Stamp the sentiment and we are good to go!
How super cute are these little guys?!

And before I go I just wanted to share a full shot of the lion (I trimmed the tag topper away) with it's front and back. I am hoping to make a spinner card with this guy soon...

OK, that's all from me for now. Are you a fan of "A Little Wild" now too?

A Little WIld Honey Bear :-)

Hi there,
Today's card uses the A Little Wild stamps and dies. As I mentioned HERE, recently, I love these cute little animals and think they make awesome cards, I just need to know more little kids though so I can use them much more!! Although I do think you could send todays card to almost anyone (you like - quite a lot) really, what do you think....

The background is a watercolour wash in Blushing Bride and the bear and hive were stamped on separate watercolour paper and die cut out before adding over the washed layer.

How cute are those little bees?

And one last photo for today. Is this stamp set on your wish list??

Thansk for looking today :-)

A Little Wild Elephant Card

Hello!
Today's card uses another set from the new catalogue - "A Little Wild". I am so in love with the cute characters in this set! The images all have a front and rear view and the matching dies allow you to cut them out as a whole so they can be used for tags or just so they can be opened and you can add a little message inside, just like on today's card! Lets take a look.....

 The vines in the background are included in the die set. I added them over a smoky slate watercoloured wash.
TIP 1: No need to colour the back of this little ellie as he's going to be stuck to the card.
TIP 2: You can use shimmer card and Memento ink to stamp and watercolour the characters in this set if you like a smooth finish, that's what I did here.

 I die cut an extra layer to go inside the elephant (so the edges were nice and neat and to hide the bakers twine ends) and stamped it with a sentiment from the set.

 I also made a fun tag to go on a matching gift :-)

And one final photo of the card for today.

 OK, that's all from me for now, I hope you liked this little fellow as much as I do?
Back soon with more :-)
