Fluffy Squirrel Day 4-Just A Note

 Just A Note is by far one of my favorite sentiments to stamp with.

Just A Note to say....fill in the blank. It is such a great sentiment for a card. You can leave the inside blank, or make it thinking of you, or thank you. So many possibilities.

Today's card is a simple layout, but still packs a punch. It starts with a Early Espresso cardbase. I added a Basic Beige panel with a strip of Autumn Toile DSP to the card front. I stamped four acorns on the Basic Beige panel and colored them with blends. The focal point is DSP cut with Nested Essentials Dies. Using this DSP (Basic Beige with a hint of white) for the focal point instead of cardstock made it stand out and not get lost on the card. The squirrel was adhered with dimensionals. I tucked the Cajun Craze cardstock die cut under the squirrel a tad and over a bow made with Early Espresso Linen Thread. I finished it off with Cajun Craze Dots.

Wacky Wednesday Day 3 Fluffy Squirrel series

 Wacky Wednesday Day 3 Fluffy Squirrel series. How about a pink squirrel? Why not it is Wacky Wednesday after all! This is a super fun Birthday card!

Strawberry Slush is a Awesome shade of pink, it's one of the 2025-2027 In Colors. I used it for my card base, Squirrel and the gifts. I Love Black and Pink together, Botanical Texture is the perfect DSP for this card. Not only is it black and white (perfect with Strawberry Slush), it also is a leaf pattern, perfect with the Fluffy Squirrels Bundle.

The sentiment I used from the stamp set is all in one, Go Nuts it's your Birthday. I wanted part for the front of the card and part for the inside of the card. I split it up by masking the sentiment (a technique where you use a temporary covering, like a Post-it note or Stampin' Up! masking paper, to cover a portion of a stamp with a sentiment on it.)

Fluffy Squirrel Day 2

Day 2 Fluffy Squirrel series. I thought 2 Squirrels for Day 2  😊

I love this sentiment! I can't wait to see you again, great card to send a friend after a wonderful visit. Or for that special someone in your life.

The cardbase is Crumb Cake with a Crumb Cake panel that I stamped on with Crumb Cake ink. One of my favorite techniques is to stamp with the same color ink as the cardstock to make your own background. I added a strip of dsp, a strip of embossed Cajun Craze cardstock, and ribbon to the Crumb Cake panel. I used my new favorite die set, Branching Out for my focal point. I added the Squirrels and that sweet sentiment to my die cut panel, and finished it off with Cajun Craze Dots.

Fluffy Squirrel Gather Happiness

 This week is all about Squirrels. Love 'em or Hate 'em they sure are cute!

I Love 'em on my cards...but my yard that's another story 😄

This fiesty little squirrel wanted to come inside and see what he could find in my house after he was done digging up my garden 😆 We have a Black Walnut Tree in our backyard. They love to gather up the nuts and "squirrel" them away in the most inconvenient places, like underthe hood of my car 😆 

When I designed this card I thought, this Fluffy Squirrel could gather his nuts and store them under the tree stump, unlike my fiesty little squirrel!

Ok back to card making 😆

This card starts with a Cajun Craze Cardbase and a panel of Timeless Plaid DSP. I used a die from the Branching Out bundle (becoming my favorite die set) for the background of my focal image, from Basic White cardstock. I stamped the stump, acorns, and sentiment directly on the die cut. I stamped the squirrel and acorns on a piece of scrap Basic White cardstock. I punched them out with the coordinating punch from the Fluffy Squirrel bundle. I absolutely love a punch bundle. It makes for fast card making.

To finish I added a bow made from Old Olive Linen Thread and Low Profile Sparkle Dots.
