Birthday Giraffe Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here.


After a long time I went with coloring on a Kraft paper and made this CAS (clean and Simple), Birthday Giraffe Card.

To make this card, I used stamps from two adorable Paper Smooches stamp sets. A super cute giraffe is from a 'Zoo Crew' stamp set and a sentiment from 'Sentiment Sampler' stamp set.

I stamped the giraffe on a Kraft cardstock paper panel. I colored the giraffe and shaded a ground with TOZ Artist Color colored pencils and it's eye with a white gel pen.

After coloring, I stamped the sentiment on the panel and trimmed the panel a bit.

To add a bit dimension to my card, I glued the panel on 3-D foam sheet and glued it on another Kraft cardstock paper panel (same size as a card base). I glued everything on a white top folded card base, glued a white cardstock paper panel inside the card base (to make the card sturdier) and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions: 89 mm x 127 mm (3 1/2 x 5")
