African Animals

Hello crafters!  Here we are at the start of day five and I would like to share the new Safari Collection with you.  I just love these and there are so many fabulous ways to create stunning backgrounds with which to use these silhouette style dies.  However, if you are not a lover of the silhouette look, then you are in luck because we have a beautifully detailed set of matching clear stamps that can be used with them!  This set is called African Animals and has a lovely selection of animals to use, including a pair of giraffes and a mama elephant and it's baby!  These will work so well for so many occasions too, think travel, retirement, birthday or just because!  Leave a comment if you would like to be entered into this drawing.  The next set will be here at noon!  All for now, Sue x

Fantastic card and dies Sue. Very close to my heart as 3 of my children lived in South Africa (One of them for 22 years) 4 of my grandchildren were born there and 2 of those still live there.

Good Morning Sue. I just don't know what to say Sue. These are fabulous. And as both my self and my husband are very big animal lovers this set is definitely on my list.

Hi Sue,
What a fantastic start to the day, these dies are just fabulous. And like your background, I'd see the African night with them.................
I've got the stamps, too - for versatility.
I've always wondered - are Zebras striped white on black/brown or the other way round? We've got them in the Zoo but I can never decide.............
Hugs, Rose

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card and although I love all the big cats (no surprise there lol) elephants are my most favourite of all. I love your Woodland Animals and they are regularly in use so I don't see any reason why the African Animals should not join them.

These are a dream come true! A nice thing about them being silhouettes is that you can cut Them from patterned paper. How about a gingham giraffe or a calico elephant?

Seems like we’d need a big game permit to bring this collection home
