Stamping 411 – Love Bandit

 

This is going to be REAL quick because I need to leave for the airport to go to Leadership in about 45 minutes (although I'm pre-setting this to post on Friday while I'm gone.)  Luckily, Selene did a pretty easy sketch this week, so I was able to make it up pretty quickly.  The most trouble I had was adding a greeting on here!  I love the words (You Stole My Heart) with the little raccoon, although I did get my word separate from the image of the raccoon.

I started with a base of So Saffron cardstock, then added the Designer Paper from Tall tales as a strip across the bottom half.  I cut a rectangle of another print in Tall Tales, then added the Brilliant Blue Scallop Trim Border (that punch is a Sale-A-Bration selection item…don't worry, it will also be in the new catalog when it comes out!)  Then I layered it on Old Olive cardstock.  I thought it needed something across the tree pattern, so I added a strip of Rose Red 1/4 Grosgrain Ribbon.  Finally, I stamped the Raccoon in Basic Black, colored the heart with Rose Red Stampin' Write Marker, then punched with the 1 1/4 circle punch.  It is layered on So Saffron 1 3/8 circle, then the Brilliant Blue Scallop Circle that I also pierced with the piercing tool in each scallop.  Finally added "You Stole My Heart" along the bottom.

Too cute!  Enjoy the weekend!

Stamping 411 – Love Bandit

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!  I'm posting early, so I know we are still enjoying the holiday…

Here is my Stamping 411 Operator Challenge for this week!  Loved the sketch!

And, here is a sneak peak of a new set in the Occasions Mini called LOVE BANDIT!  Isn't that squirrel cute?  It also has a raccoon in the set, which is why I purchased it…and for this darling tree!

Quickly, the base is Sahara Sand, with a strip of two different Designer Papers out of the To The Nines Paper Pack.  The tree I used Garden Green and Chocolate Chip markers, with a little Real Red heart.  The squirrel was stamped with Chocolate Chip and colored with Creamy Caramel.  I stamped "I fancy you" with Chocolate Chip on Whisper white, punched with the Small Oval, and layered on the Large Real Red Oval.  Finally, I added a Chocolate Chip Corduroy Button in the upper left corner!

Hope you enjoy my sketch challenge card.  Make sure to check out the rest of the Stamping 411 Operators and play along this week!
