CS240 – Cutest Crew

April 7, 2026 By Connie | 1 Comment

We have a new Creatively Simple theme this month…Let’s Get Punchy! Should be fun!

CUTEST CREW

I used punched circles from the Hobby Haven DSP for the background of my cute little puppy!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Garden Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was embossed with the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder and added to the front.
Three 1-3/4″ circles were punched from the Hobby Haven DSP in different patterns, then two adhered to the front flat.
The third one was stamped with the Cutest Crew greeting in Memento Black Ink and the pawprints in Crumb Cake Ink, then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The single puppy was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Crumb Cake, Shaded Spruce/Old Olive (combined to make Garden Green) and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers were added to the background and circle.

So fun…and different look by just using one of the puppies! OK check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
