Peekaboo Animals

Happy Tuesday!

Today we have a card by PPP designer, Liz. I found Liz’s work on Instagram about a year ago and after stalking her blog and Instagram, I asked her to be on the team. I really do love seeing my customers work on social media and over the last year, I’ve asked several designers to join in blog hops and guest designer spots based on what they’ve shared using PPP. I want to encourage you all to continue to share what you create; you never know what could happen afterwards!

To create this card, I first worked on the base of the card to create a background using one of my new favorites, the new Scallop Borders as I love the detailed stitching along with the three scallop designs to choose from. I’m loving this new Mini Storybook 1 die as there are several ways to use this die since it has dual stitching.  This means after die cutting, a stitched line remains around the block of the negative.

Here, I started with Grout Gray cardstock measuring 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and placed the larger scallop die about 3/4 of the way down to run through the die cutting machine. Next, I took some Pink Lemonade cardstock and ran the straight edge scallop through twice to add on top and bottom of the designer paper which measured 2 ” wide.

Before adding the background to the card base, I added some fun foam to give this card some dimension.

Again, I do love creating little scenes and adore using these little animals from the Camping Friends set as I think they are so cute. Here, I created some clouds by ink blending some Sea Glass ink along with using the Scallop border from the Stitched Border 2 collection.

From there, I pulled out the large scallop from Stitched Borders 4 to use the negative cut as my template to add some grass by blending in some Jellybean ink. Next, I glued on some Silver Mini Star Confetti to the clouds before adding in these sparkling new sequins.

For the bottom portion with grass, I used some iridescent 4mm Peridot Mist, as I love how it sparkles. Than for the top two little squares, I couldn’t resist but to combine the new Iridescent Mini Circle Confetti  and new 3mm Sparkling clear sequins they look beautiful together.

To finish off this card, I added all of the little animals and sunshine from the Camping Friends set and used the Camping Friends Coordinating dies to help me cut them out. Added some foam mount tape under each one to add a little more dimension.

Also, I used a sentiment from the Fox Friends set as I wanted an uplifting saying for a special friend who I think is the best, so I embossed it using white embossing powder against the black card stock.

We hope you enjoyed today’s post. We have posts scheduled the next few days and we hope you’ll join us!
