Happy Hamster Cards with Kay and Candice

Hi there! Kay here and I have a fun card to share with you today using the super cute Happy Hamsters stamp set and the coordinating dies. I also used the Stitched Rectangle dies and some patterned paper from the Holiday Cheer 6x6 Cardstock pad.

First off, I created a background for the cute little hamsters by blending some distress ink onto white cardstock. I used Mowed Lawn for the grass and Tumbled Glass for the sky. I then speckled some darker blue Peacock Feathers ink mixed with water over all of it. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Hamsters stamp set along the bottom and then cut this panel out with the medium Stitched Rectangle dies. I then cut out a panel of patterned paper from the Holiday Cheer paper pack just one size larger using the largest of the Stitched Rectangle dies. I then layered both of these onto my white card base.

Next I colored the cute little hamsters and wheel with Copic markers and cut them out with the Happy Hamsters coordinating dies. I added these to my card using foam tape.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today! Thanks so much for stopping by and happy weekend!

Have you seen these absolutely adorable Happy Hamsters from Sunny Studio stamps yet?! Candice with you today sharing a fun slimline card highlighting these sweeties!

I used these Sunny Studio products to create my slimline design:

• Happy Hamsters stamps & coordinating dies
• Slimline Pennants dies
• Staggered Circle die
• Frilly Frames Herringbone dies

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base. For the background, I first created the stitched panel using the Slimline Pennant dies using the partial die cut method (run partway through your machine, rotate and line up, and run partway through again!) I then die cut the Herringbone using this same partial die cut method to create my stencil, inking my panel with tea dye, and then die cutting the staggered stitched circles. I finished the background by gluing a piece of Kraft cardstock that was splattered with white paint and adhered the panel over it with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the hamsters, wheel, and peanuts, colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I added a few white accents with a pen and then put them in the circles with foam tape. I stamped my sentiment on a white banner adding it with foam tape and glued a few die cut hearts from red velvet cardstock!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
