Last week our theme was “In the Sky” for our CCM Saturday Blog Hop. This week’s Create with Connie and Mary’s blog hop theme is “Anything on the Ground”. Can be anything that resides on the ground…like flowers, trees, water…whatever! Again…should be fun to see what our Design Team did! I decided to use my Nuts About Squirrels stamp set. When I look outside to our back yard, I can see lots of squirrels scurrying around. They love the acorns they find on the ground and they are always busy, busy, busy!
NUTS ABOUT SQUIRRELS
I was looking for a leafy print designer paper and ran across this one from the new July-December Mini Catalog. It’s actually in the Painted Christmas Designer Paper pack. But…this print looked like summer to me, so I went with it!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Soft Sea Foam cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock.
- A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Painted Christmas DSP was added to the left side.
- A 3/4 x 4 strip of Soft Suede cardstock was added across the bottom.
- The tree limb was stamped with Soft Suede Ink and the leaves with Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green in the upper right corner.
- The squirrel was stamped with Early Espresso for the outline and Soft Suede to fill in on scrap Basic White. The acorn top is Early Espresso and the bottom is Cinnamon Cider Ink. The cheeks were colored with Light Flirty Flamingo Blends. It was hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Nuts About You was stamped with Early Espresso Ink and cut with the Layering Circles Die.
- Three extra leaves were stamped on scrap Basic White with Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green Inks and hand-cut, then added around the circle.
- A trio of dark green Holiday Rhinestones were added to the background.
