I'm Nuts About Squirrels!
November 25, 2022
Hello! Hello! I'm using the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set today. It's such a cute stamp set. You can find it on page 50 of the annual catalog. I have a lot of squirrels around our house and they are fun to watch.
The Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper is perfect for this card. My card base is Crumb Cake cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded. I have a layer of Early Espresso cardstock cut to 4 x 5 1/4. The pine cone paper measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.
Stamp the branch just off of the page to the left and stamp it again reaching to the other side of the front. We'll cover up the ends in the center.
The greenery paper is also from Painted Christmas. Cut it to 1 3/4 x 5 1/8. Glue it to a piece of Early Espresso that is 1 7/8 x 5 1/8. Glue this to the card front just a little to the left.
Stamp the two squirrels on Basic White using Early Espresso ink. Color with blends. I used the Crumb Cake combo, Soft Suede combo, and Light Petal Pink for the ears. You will have to cut out these squirrels with your Paper Snips. Add with dimensionals. The top squirrel will cover the fact that there is no branch there.
Stamp the saying in Early Espresso on Basic White. Cut out using the Stylish Shapes dies.
Put some Linen Thread behind the circle and add the circle with dimentionals so that the top squirrel looks like he is stepping on it.
Here is the inside of my card.
Thanks so much for giving me a little part of your day.
