Good Morning! I hope you had a nice long wonderful weekend! Mine was so relaxing with lots of great food!! I have an encouragement card for today made with the Stampin’ Up! Wild Cats stamp set and pretty In The Wild designer series paper. I also used die cuts from other sets that coordinated with the images in the pretty DSP. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

My design is inspired by the Sunday Stamps SSC260 Triple the Fun Sketch Challenge. Here is the pretty challenge sketch:

I adhered a strip of leopard print In The Wild designer series paper to the left side of an Evening Evergreen card base, then adhered a panel of the jungle leaves print paper on the other side. I adhered a skinny strip of Bumblebee card stock next to the jungle leaves.

I cut the label from the Picture This dies using Soft Succulent and the top of the large fern from the Forever Flourishing dies from Evening Evergreen card stock. I cut three leaves from the In The Tropics dies from Bumblebee and three sets of the flowers from Merry Merlot. And I cut two of the plants from the Big Cats dies from Cajun Craze. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wild Cats photopolymer stamp set on the label in Evening Evergreen and stamped the little leaf cluster in stamped of Soft Succulent.

I adhered the plants to the label with glue dots and then adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals. I adhered the Bumblebee leaf to the card front under the label with a glue dot and adhered the flowers with liquid glue. I finished off the flower centers with Evening Evergreen jewels.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Wild Cats stamp set in Evening Evergreen in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the In The Wild DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered the die cut leaf and flowers from the In The Tropics dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Hats Off stamp set next to the arrangement in Soft Succulent ink and then adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Wild Cats bundle is great for making fun cards with the jungle images and the bold colors in the In The Wild designer series paper. I love this sentiment for a card that is perfect for anyone working on a challenge. And the In The Wild designer series paper is on sale this month, so it’s a great time to stock up!
