I am super excited to join the Crafty Carrot team as their guest designer for July! We are featuring a bunch of fun projects using the Zany Zoo bundle. There will be tips, video tutorials and more! Sign up for July’s clases now. Visit the Crafty Carrot Collective for more information.

This fun card used the sweet raccoon image from teh stamp set. I altered the image a bit by masking and cutting the tail. See more infromation about this project below and in my reels. See you over at Crafty Carrot soon!

Get more from your stamp images by masking. Create a larger balloon bouquet by inking only the balloons and repeat stamping the balloon image over the mask.

1. Stamp the entire balloon raccoon image onto a PostIt note (x2) and cut out as close to the image line as possible. This will serve as a mask. You will need two masks.

2. Ink the balloon portion of the raccoon image. Stamp the balloon portion onto a piece of Basic White cardstock.

3. Cover balloon stamped imaged with first mask. Repeat step two, arrange balloons to the left side of center balloons and stamp again.

4. Cover both balloon stamped images with both masks. Repeat step two, arrange balloons to the right side of center balloons and stamp again. Repeat masking until you have desired balloon bouquet size.
