Zoo Review Christmas

Here is a card I made using my Zoo review stamp set from Stampin' Up! not a typical Christmas stamp set but then they are the best sets as they are so versatile.

My usual square base card, scored with my diagonal plate, a layer of designer series paper on top of a strip of ribbon. I stamped the penguin and then cut with my cannery die set, a glitter topping adds a touch of frost.

Perfectly preserved flowers

I'm really enjoying this stamp set, there are sooo many things you can do with it.

Yes, I started with my favourite square card blank, I added a very fine mat of rose red and then a layer of designer series paper (sorry this set has been discontinued, I just think it went with this rather nicely)

I cut a whisper white die cut and stamped the jar from my perfectly preserved set, I lined up two stalks and two flower heads. I pierced around the edge of the die cut. 

I added some coordinating bakers twine around the rim of the jar. 

I stamped a flower, cut it out with the matching die and added a rhinestone to the centre, fixing this with a foam pad to the top right hand corner.

Perfectly preserved apples

When I saw the apple from the perfectly preserved stamp set, this was what popped into my head, so naturally I had to make it.

As you can see I opted for my preferred square card blank.

I added a square of designer series paper, a further whisper white card mat, which I pierced a pattern on to.

I then stamped eight green apples and one red apple, each time after inking in my chosen colour I added the seeds with an Early Espresso marker, all the apples were cut out using my matching cannery die set. The green apples were stuck on with my favourite tombo glue, whereas the red apple was stuck with foam pads.

What do you think? Is this your kind of card?
