Rhino

Hello crafters!  Welcome to day number two of the February die release launch.  We are starting with the Rhino.  I know they aren't the cutest of animals, but I just love this one!  It just says masculinity doesn't it with that tough hide and horn!  I also want to point out one of the four new safari collection stencils that are also being released with the collection.  This one is called Animal Prints and the stencil are all 7" x 7" in size.  I love that I was able to make them a tad larger than our other stencils as these dies look great on a larger card size!  If you are with me on this one, then leave a quick comment on the post and meet me back here at noon for the final animal die in the release.  I bet you can guess what it is going to be, right?  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue

Maybe not as cute as other animals but so unusual to have to make a card with. The stencils help too.

Great card. See you at 12.00. Could it be something that roars perhaps?

Love Helen xxx

Morning Sue, I think the Rhino stamp and die is amazing, love the frame on this one, and I think I will definitely be getting this stencil, the combination of prints is great. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

Love that background and the rhino! Great card!
I am thinking one of the big cats would be a great addition to this safari collection!

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous sample from this launch, I can think of quite a few family and friends who would love this on a card (one of them at least thinks he is like Tarzan ha ha ). Also loving the stencil, and I agree 7x7 are much better size to use.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Steph Cotterill said...

Hi sue. Another majestic beauty. We now have some of the larger dies to accompany our tiny zoo animal dies can't wait to see the merge of the two in some projects that may pop up. Looking forward to our 2nd post of the day xxx

Ann Topp said...

Good Morning Sue. Ohhh wow Sue another of the finest animals we are slowly losing. He/she is brilliant and perfect for our male species cards. Ohhh and the stencil ... Well what can we say other than ... brilliant. It's the kind of background that could be used on its own ... In a frame ... with one of your bigger Happy Birthday dies.j
I have a feeling that the next one might be the King of the jungle or one of our beautiful Tigers.
Whatever it's kind I think we are in for a treat. Thankyou Sue for these wonderful animals. Someone is going to be very lucky to win this set. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

PLEASE STAY EXTRA SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

I hope its a tiger at 12, thats my grandson's favourite animal.
Stansted everyone and see you at 12 take care hugs Donna O xx

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, a brilliant card and your rhino is a most imposing gentleman. They may not be cute but rhinos are still a very necessary part of our planet and it is such a shame that they are endangered. I love the expression 'a unicorn with attitude' it is a perfect description.

It may not be as cute as some animals but it makes a beautiful card.

lindyloo12Somerset said...

Maybe not as cute as some of the others but this would make great masculine cards!

Sandy (tort) said...

A strong masculine animal, suitable for a male card me thinks:0)
A lovely card showing the rhino off well.

CarolT said...

So unusual but a great card xx

freedomlass said...

You can't say a Rhino is cute but somehow you have managed it with this one, strong and bold too, great for those mens cards we all love to hate making, love the backgrounds that go with all these new safari dies too.

Love him!

Scottydog said...

Lovely card Sue, certainly masculine. This takes me back nearly 50 years, when my second son (he was always very mischievous) decided to enter the enclosure at the zoo where the young white rhino lived. I had bent down to empty a stone out of my eldest sons shoe & in that split second he was in! He wouldn’t manage it now the enclosures are far more secure. Dear little boy! Thank you Sue!

Carole Eaton said...

How wonderful, we must appreciate them while we still have them.
Yes I agree ideal for men's cards

MaryJean Smith said...

This fierce rhino will make a great card. MaryJean Smith

Marguerite Kemp said...

Hi Sue,
Love this card, the animal print stencil is just gorgeous. Africa is calling in this card, with the colours you have used . The attention to detail in these stamps and dies are lovely and this collection is going to find its way into my craft room at sometime, as I just love them!
Love, Maggiemay, Tasmania

Your designers have outdone themselves! I would never have created a card with just a rhino head, but this one is great with the background. Love it!

Hello Sue and all Wilsonett's

I rather like the Zebra although I never could decide whether there were black stripes on a white animal or white stripes on a black one. You have got him well presented.

Your stencils are wonderful and so great to see the rhino. I think they are wonderful

Hi Sue, great die love the card, love Jean Z xxx

Sandra said...

I like that you included a Rhinoceros in the collection. It can represent toughness and strength so I can see it for a masculine card. I want to add that all the frames are a wonderful addition to the animal dies!
