Animal Magnetism

September 27, 2013Leave a comment

My friend is having a luncheon and asked that we dress “Wild and Colorful”. Well, I automatically think of animal prints and bright colors. I want to take her a gift card set that is inspired by the theme. Since Stampin’ Up! doesn’t have any animal print paper, I had to improvise with some paper from another line. However, I used SU card stock and a few of their embellishments; including, Framed Tulip TIEF, Flower Garden TIEF, Basic Pearls Jewel Accents and more.

I love the “Dressed Up Framelit Dies” (130101). They are so versatile and it is so much fun to mix and match. Add in a few punched accessories and the outfits are limitless!

Happy Thanksgiving!
