Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week we have an adorable fall squirrel print for our inspiration piece. Of course, I HAD to use the equally adorable Nuts About Squirrels stamp set in the July-December Mini Catalog!
NUTS ABOUT SQUIRRELS
This stamp set is just TOO cute…I love that Nuts About You greeting in it! I know my grandkids will get a kick out of it!
Stampin’ Details:
-
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Early Espresso cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of In Good Taste Designer Paper was added on top. (LOVE that paper! I just opened my second package of it!)
- A 1-1/4 x 4 piece of Early Espresso cardstock was added across the front.
- Another pattern in the In Good Taste DSP was cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
