1 1/2" Circle Punch Archives - Libby Fens, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

I like these duo challenges!

I went with an older favorite Designer Series Paper that returned from last year, Toile Tidings –

I combined it with the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set.

Wrapped In Christmas is all words and probably has the perfect ones you are looking for! I am hoping this is the last Christmas stamp set I buy this year!

See what a nice set it is? I already have a few cards in mind using it.

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. You can also play along with our challenge and show us your cards on our blog.

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features cards with critters!

Such cuteness you will see today!!!

Just look at this –

Oh my goodness – isn’t this little squirrel too cute?!?!?! He is from the Banner Year stamp set.

I stamped him in Cinnamon Cider on Very Vanilla, let him dry, then dotted his eye with a black sharpie. I used a 1 1/2″ Circle Punch to punch him out, backing him on a scallop circle from the Little Treat Box Dies (so so cute).

I took a piece of the Plaid Tidings 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and stamped the little acorns in Bumblebee on the lighter squares. Doing this made this paper match the card perfectly!

The acorn and sentiment are also from the Banner Year stamp set. The sentiment flagging comes from the coordinating punch in the set, Banners Pick a Punch. It is quite versatile as you can choose different widths of strips to flag the ends.

Go forward to see Debbie Henderson and her cute critter, and back to Cindy Elam and her cute critter creation. I know we will all have some great projects to make us squee with joy!
