Safari Celebration Kit

Safari Celebration was the kit for February.  I just received it in the mail today.  Here is a quick video on the projects designed by Stampin' Up.

Here are a couple alternative cards I created from the Safari Celebration kit.  I was excited to be able to create an "adult friendly" card from the kit.

Inside of card.

Instructions:

1. Cut card bases from the kit in half. 
2. Then cut one piece on the diagonal.  Trim 1/4 inch off the horizontal and vertical edges.  Save these for the inside of the card.
3. Cut black cardstock  5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  Fold in half.
4. Cut white cardstock  5-1/4" x 4" for inside panel.
5. Use Versamark to stamp "You are Fantastic!" on vellum piece from the kit.  Heat emboss with black embossing powder.
6. Add Vellum and smaller leaves with glue dots.  Add larger leaf with dimensionals.
7. All other stamping done with Rich Razzleberry ink from the kit.
8. Add green ribbon (not in kit) to card front.  Add pebbles from kit.

Inside of card.

Instructions:

1. Cut 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" black for card base.  Fold in half.
2. Cut 2 pieces white cardstock 5-1/4" x 4".
3. Stamp leaf using Rich Razzleberry on one piece of white cardstock.  Some at full strength and some stamps offs.  By stamping a second time you are able to create a lighter image for additional texture in your card.
4. Adhere diagonal cut (from previous card) to white cardstock.
5. For additional texture, use an embossing folder.
6. Stamp "you did it!" on tag from kit.  Trim and fit under diagonal cut piece.  
7. All stamping was done with Rich Razzleberry ink from the kit.
8. Glue on leaves and add elephant with dimensionals.
9. Add pebbles from kit.

Happy quilting.
