Please Don't Feed the Animals - Easy Cards in 1, 2, 3!

Hello, everyone! It's Bibi here today with some cards I whipped up in no-time. Actually, the first one took me forever because I spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of easy cards I wanted to make. And then out of the blue the idea came to me after I had gone to bed, so I got up and hurried to my studio so I wouldn't forget! Before I knew it, I had made seven more cards/tags that evening....

Here is the first card, the one that got me out of bed. It was worth it, wasn't it?
(I think it's hysterical!)

Inside the card:

Be Right Back - stamp from Sarcastic Superpower

Elephant and Hello there! are both from African Animals

Then I made another elephant card, 

this time with a text inside that I, unfortunately,

will have the use for quite often.... 

(which is why I made it into a stamp, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs it ...).

Inside:

All stamps from African Animals

Then it was the giraffe's turn:

African Animals, Sarcastic Superpower

Another giraffe card: 

Stamps from African Animals, Music, A little Birdie 

I have no idea what a giraffe sounds like, but I imagine it cannot sing....
I doodled on the notes and drew the speech bubble with a black pen.

The lion is up next,

with a silly sentiment from Sarcastic Superpower 

which I drew a thinking bubble around:

I want to attach this tag to an edible Christmas gift, just for fun!

Another lion, this time with a statement: 

The sentiment is from Sarcastic Superpower and actually reads,

"Not my monkeys, not my circus". I cut it apart so I could spell "No Circus" instead.
See, that's how you can get more out of your stamps: Cut them up and make new ones!

It's the elephants turn again, on the last card I made in this series:

Sun from Celestial Dancers, fly from A little Birdie, 

Soar and Fly Away from For the Birds, and believe etc from Affirmations. 

I cut the cloud out of cardstock, added some blue ink on the sides and adhered it with foam dots.

Inside the card:

This stamp is from the set of sentiments called Think Again

And - just in case you wondered.......

Rhino stamp from African Animals, sentiment stamp from Sarcastic Superpower.

I don't know when a card like this is appropriate - perhaps as a reminder to your sweetheart?

I hope you liked my quick and easy cards. I had such fun making them!
Stamping doesn't have to be all that complicated. An image and a sentiment is all you need, but if you prefer to add some colours you can always do that. I chose not to this time, as I think these African Animals stamps look great without, too.

Here are the two sets of stamps I used the most:
Images are reduced (actual sheet size is 13 x 18 cm, or 5 x 7 inches)

African Animals - stamps made from drawings that DT Susanne Rose made for me.
Awesome, aren't they? I have fallen deeply in love with these stamps.

Sarcastic Superpower

Now it's your turn:
Go out in the world with a silly grin on your face ... and make some cards in 1, 2, 3!

See if you can combine stamped images with sentiments in a way you haven't tried before.

I want to thank my DT Majo for the inspiration! ♥
She's really good at combining images and sentiments with a new twist.

Until next time -  be good, be silly, have fun and stamp on!

 XOX,

Bibi
