Fox Says Hello

Retiring Banner.png

Today’s card is a cute little baby card featuring the retiring Foxy Friends Stamp Set and Twinkle Twinkle DSP. I’m really debating about keeping the Foxy Friends Stamp Set and coordinating Fox Builder Punch. The color combination on this card is perfect! I really love the blues, green, and pink together. I might need to make a few of these with varying sentiments.

Wildlife Love

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE a card from fellow DT member Darla Roberts! After looking at some of her previous cards (so cute by the way!), I stopped on this cute kitty in a pot card.  I loved the simplicity and fun colors of her card. And so I turned to making my own version of her card. Instead of the cat, I pulled out my Foxy Friends stamp set and created my main image. I switched the circles for squares and flipped my orientation. Lastly I kept the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon because it is my current favorite accessory!

A Little Fox for Baby

I made this card way back in November, but I thought it was weird to post during the height of Christmas cards. So I kept it in reserve until now. How cute is this little fox? This is one of those stamp sets that I keep forgetting that I own. Why do I do that? I love this little stamp set. For this card, I stamped, punched, and assembled this cute little fox. From there, I picked a trio of paper patterns and added some texture with the snowflakes and embossing folder. I finished off the card with a sentiment and some pretty metallic washi tape.

SSINKIC43: Bunny Wreath

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the photo below as inspiration.

 

I took my cues from the wreath encircling a bunny, but how to recreate it? Foxy Friends to the rescue. Obviously the Foxy Friends stamp set is made to create foxes, but you can make so many other animals with it. With a bit of modification, I made this cute little bunny. From there I started stamping and punching flowers to create a wreath. The circle itself left too much white space around the bunny, so I went back in to stamp some flowers on the piece of white. Much better. I finished off the card by adding a piece of DSP to give just a bit more visual interest. And voila! My cute little bunny wreath.

Razzle and Pool Trees

Another great Christmas card buffet card for today. This one utilizes some great retired Stampin' Up DSP that I still had laying around the house. I pulled the Pool Party from the DSP to create a nontraditionally colored Christmas card. I layered on some stamped trees to create more visual interest. Then I went a little crazy with the embellishments. The card cried for some bling (hence the rhinestones), but the sentiment looked to plain by itself on the paper. The two ribbons layered underneath helped to fill that void. As an afterthought, I pulled out these great little snowflake brads. Perfect touch!

  • Stamps: Wrapped in Warmth; Foxy Friends
  • Inks: Pool Party; Rich Razzleberry
  • Cardstock: Winter Frost DSP (retired); Rich Razzleberry; Whisper White
  • Accessories: Rhinestones; Rich Razzleberry Ribbon; Pool Party Ribbon (retired); Snowflake brads (non-SU)

Cool Trees

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas card using nontraditional colors. I decided to go with Rich Razzleberry, Mint Macaron, and Silver. I love the cool look of this card. I embossed the piece of Mint Macaron with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder to give some extra dimension to the card. The trees were stamped from the Foxy Friends stamp set and coordinate with the Perfect Pines Framelits. Unfortunately, I never bought those framelits. Oh well! I just fussy cut the trees. Not a huge deal, but I'm really thinking about buying those framelits now.

  • Stamps: Wrapped in Warmth; Foxy Friends
  • Inks: Rich Razzleberry; Mint Macaron
  • Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry; Mint Macaron; Whisper White
  • Accessories: Metallic Doilies; Rhinestones

A Simple Fox

Tomorrow's the day! The launch of the Holiday Catalog is less than 24 hours away. Here's your last sneak peek video...

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a kid's card. I immediately went to the cute Foxy Friends stamp set. I decided to go super simple with a little fox and some layered papers. I added an embossed piece of Smoky Slate to give more texture. I didn't add a sentiment on the outside but will be adding a Happy Birthday inside for an upcoming 1st birthday card.
