Animal Stories Bat

As I was putting away the kitty card I made for the previous post, I realized you can also make a bat with the owl image in the Animal Stories stamp set (available for purchase July 1st!).


All I did was stamp the owl in Basic Black. Then, I took a scrap piece of Basic Black card stock and took a "bite" out of it in two places with the Scallop Circle Punch. Then I lined up the 1" Circle Punch over 3 of the scallops in one of the "bites" I had taken out of the Basic Black card stock, and then punch to get a wing shape that is rounded on top, and reverse scalloped on the bottom. Line up the 1" Circle Punch over the second "bite" area in the same way, and you have your two wings!

Glue the wings alongside the owl body in whatever position you like. I used the Two-Way Glue Pen because it's quick and neat, and I can easily use just the very little amount of glue I want. Then, take a Close to Cocoa marker and fill in the spots on the owl. Color in the "beak" and eyes with a Real Red marker, and you're done! If you're really good, you might be able to add in a couple of white fangs over the red mouth...but I don't have time for that just now!

I can see this on a card front, with maybe some Rich Razzleberry sponged clouds behind it, and the "happy halloween" greeting from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, on the Modern Label Punch. I'll have to give that a shot for tomorrow's blog entry!

Sneak Peek with a Twist (Animal Stories Kitty)

This card was made with a Sneak Peek stamp set, called Animal Stories. The set is a Sneak Peek because it will be in the new catalog, which will be unveiled July 1st...but I got to preorder the stamp set as a Demonstrator! There are 4 stamps in the set, a whale, a giraffe, an owl, and an elephant. So, you may be wondering how I got a kitty out of the set. Honestly, a kitty was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture of this stamp set. If I didn't have my sweetie, my kids, and my stamps to keep me entertained, I'd probably be a CCL (crazy cat lady).

It wasn't hard at all to make the kitty. I just stamped the owl, and then the tail of the whale, in Brocade Blue, and then used my handy-dandy Paper Snips to trim off the last swirl of the whale's tail to use as the cat's tail. I then colored in the nose with a Pretty in Pink marker, and made whiskers and colored in the eyes with a Basic Black marker.

You can actually draw little triangle shapes down the side of the inked up owl, with a darker colored marker, and then stamp, to get a stripey cat--it turns out way cute! Use different colored markers to make a tortoise-shell or calico cat. For those of you out there who just don't like to, or can't, cut the little strip of whale's tail out, you can still make a kitty by using the brush end of a coordinating marker and just drawing it on.

The tag on the card was also made from Sneak Peek product--it uses the Modern Label Punch. Believe me, you're going to see this punch everywhere, and you will HAVE to have it on July 1st. In fact, you might want to order it as soon as you can (Noon MST on July 1st) so you don't risk waiting for it on backorder, because I'm sure it is going to be a big hit with everyone! I took a VersaMarker and drew around the inside of the tag, to make it look a little more 3-D, and I even added a couple of score lines around where I put the brads. It gives the label a lot more depth...or at least it seems that way to me.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) I used in the background is called Tall Tales, and the images on many of the sheets coordinate with the Animal Stories stamp set. The flowers on my card came from the flip side of the So Saffron sheet I used from the Tall Tales DSP package. I used those wonderful Paper Snips again, to trim them out. I stamped a greeting from another Sneak Peek stamp set, called Teeny Tiny Wishes, on the tag. I used Craft ink to stamp this in Ballet Blue, so that it would be opaque, and the color of the ink would remain true instead of soaking in and mixing with the card stock to take on a greenish tint.
