Playful Jungle Cards Here are 5 cards featuring Dee's innocent-looking elephant and lovable giraffe, two of our best sellers from the Jungle stamp set of the Playful Posh Collection. The Jungle set was the first of the Playfuls and it did so well that many sets in that category followed. This was fun for Dee and staff to do because they had never produced this humorous look before. Delight for these whimsical animals grows daily and now there is a Junior Jungle set to use alone or to mix with the original set. Examples here have mixed them and have also used other Posh stamps as well to show the unlimited poshabilities with Dee's stamps. Note 6 additional cards below. Look into the elephant's eyes and try not to smile! These compatible friends can be placed in all kinds of positions employing different borders and backgrounds for endless varieties and continuous amusement. All stamps were hand drawn as originals by Dee with her team and then manufactured by Sunday International using their original and superior EZ Mount unmounted rubber system, the system with the lifetime guarantee to work perfectly in every way. No other comany guarantees their stamps forever with no conditions. They are just that good. Make a card and then others using Dee's preferred style of stamping. You can have spectacular results with infinite variety. All supplies are available at www.sundayint.com or ask your local store to sell them. We've owned 6 stores ourselves in major centers such as famous South Coast Plaza in Newport Beach CA and hopefully we were smart enough to stock customer preferences that increased our sales. Ask your store to sell them and they probably well..

Directions They are easy with her style of stamping. That's the way she wants it for you. First experiment on scratch paper to get preferred colors and effects. Use quality cardstock such as Kromecoat. Recycled paper that obsorbs all of your colors are not recommended. Some say they can't get the brilliant and exciting colors that Dee gets. It's mostly due to cheap or recycled cardstock. Also, when pressing stamp to paper, hold the stamp without rocking or moving and count to 10. Let the ink adhere and absorb. Stamp borders for inside of card first Then stamp backgrounds and borders of front of card Choose feature images and stamp them on opaque sticker paper. Use quality sticker papers. Do not use cheap ones that are not completely opaque or those that do not accept ink perfectly. Cut out feature images moving paper as you cut rather than moving scissors. Leave a small amount of white around the edges. Before removing sticky backing of sticker paper, place and overlap some feature images where wanted. Try different places and positions. Remove sticky backing by placing image where wanted, remove only a corner to hold in place and then carefully remove the rest smoothing with hand. If you wish, touch up any errors with the pens (Dee likes to use LePens for their smaller points but if careful, your brush art markers will work fine if they still have a point on them.) A White Writer is excellent for covering up small errors on white paper. For making many cards, stamp multiple images on the sticker paper and cut out all at once leaving the protective back on until ready to use them. Dee and her staff do this and keep the images organized in transparent sandwich bags.
