Stampin' Up! Animal Expedition Birthday Card

Good Sunday morning, peeps! Today's a play day for me at:

1. Always Fun Challenges #115 - Punny
2. Inspire.Create.Challenge#045-Theme: Embossing
3. Just Add Ink #462 - Sketch Challenge
4. Time Out Challenge #138 - Funny 

I used my retired Animal Expedition DSP for this one and instead of Bugs Bunny asking "What's up Doc"...well, let's take a look...



Ha! I think that's funny and punny, agree? Well, if not, how 'bout the inside?


Ha, again! I quack me up!! If this doesn't pass muster, I have cows, pigs, dogs, cats, insects, amphibians, forest animals...I could play at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies for a long time! This time is their #97 challenge sponsored by Rick St. Dennis.

So, let's get to my card, shall we? I started with a Call Me Clover card base, a mat of Very Vanilla that I embossed with the Corrugated 3D folder (currently not available). It will be, though, and I'll let you know once SU lets me know (but only if you ask!)

I cut a 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" square from the DSP and matted it to the embossed panel. You need to use strong adhesive for that...likewise with the embossed panel adhered to the card base, you need strong adhesive. SU used to have Fast Fuse, which I used, but you can use Tear and Tape too.

For the sentiment and mat, I used the  Stitched Nest Label Dies, Call Me Clover and Very Vanilla card stock scraps. I hand printed my sentiment with my Call Me Clover Stampin' Write Marker. That comes in the set of 2018-2020 In Colors.

The inside I created on my computer but the duck is stamped in Gray Granite with an Inkadoo stamp.

I had fun creating this and I hope I amused you! Thanks for stopping by and I love it when you leave a comment. I always try to respond to each one...except anonymous ones. They are usually spam.

  3. You quack me up too!!! :-) Love your card. I couldn't hand write anything that nicely. Great Job. I would just have to do it on the computer. This is a wonderful, fun, birthday card.
