Nuts about Squirrels

 Hi there Creators

There's Something about squirrels.... (Mary doesn't do it for me 😂) 

So when this cute little Nuts about Squirrels set came out I knew it would end up in my collection.   Coming from England to Australia it's one those creatures that aren't over here, when I took the boys back to England a few years ago they were fascinated by the squirrels in one of the London parks, although most are now Gray squirrels I still prefer the red ones.

Check out the Stamp set with this link: Nuts about Squirrels (you can purchase it from there too, and at only $30 what a bargain!!)  Oh and while I'm thinking of it for every $90 you purchase you get to pick a free Sale-a-Bration product, check them out in this link: Sale-a-Bration Products.  Till the end of September.

Ok, so my first card I made is this one here:  this one I just stamped directly onto my card, then stamped 3 spare nuts, and cut these out by hand, and the saying stamped and cut by hand, I liked the idea of the saying being in an asymmetrical "box", I think it adds to the cute/cookieness of the stamp set. I've used the following inks: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede and Garden Green, plus of course some dimensionals to pop up my saying and nuts 😉

 

Then I remembered this paper.....  Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper (click on the link to check it out)  Oh my goodness you would think this paper was made for the Squirrels!  I've also added in some of the beautiful Brushed Metallic Adhesive backed dots (again check out the link) Oh and the squirrel fits nicely on the Label Me lovely Punch, it's a great size for larger images this punch! This card I also used some Early Espresso papers to "mat" my Beauty of the Earth paper (and a bit of Multi-purpose Liquid Glue)

 

One of the other designs in the pack, and this is the card I showed on my Something Saturday video this week you can view it on my YouTube channel or on My Facebook page, again some of the Brushed Metallic dots (although I do end up cracking up laughing when I put the first dot down - oops might not have been the best placement behind the squirrels bottom!  I've used Cajun Craze card to back my Beauty of the Earth with this card, and the sayings on all cards are dipped in the corresponding ink pads, to create the "edging" to them.  Of course I also use my trusty Paper Snips to cut out my squirrels (it's fabulous having such sharp scissors).

 Ok after being inspired by Pinterest, I made this card too, someone else had made one with a "hole in a tree" and I loved this idea so made one of my own using the Layering Diorama dies and again using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper - how handy is this wood grain side of the paper?

 I love this stamp set and it's one of those ones I'll be keeping long after it retires.
