Squirrel Friends Cards with Marine and Waleska

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back this week with a new super cute and busy scene featuring the lovely Squirrel Friends from the Fall & Winter 2022 collection. I love those sweet and fun little guys so much, I can't wait to showcase them on other projects!

So, as often happens, I started off with the coloring. I stamped the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers. Like I said, I created a busy scene with images from different sets, so here is the supplies list: 

Squirrel Friends - tree trunk, nuts and squirrels
Seasonal Trees - small bird
Balloon Rides - banner
Happy Harvest - sunflowers
Spring Showers - butterfly net
Harvest Mice - cart
Country Scenes - swirling thing

Once everything was colored, I created a house for the squirrels to live in using the Nutty for You die set for the base of the house, and the Gingerbread House die set for the door and two windows. I cut the different pieces and colored them using my alcohol markers again.

Next I did the background. I cut an 8,5 x 3,5" bristol panel and used scattered straw + spiced marmalade oxide inks to create a light autumn sky. And then I created a grass border to ground the scene. I cut another 8,5 x 3,5" bristol panel and cut a slim grass border out of it using a die from the Picket Fence Border die set. And I colored this border using shabby shutters and peeled paint oxide inks.

Once the background panel and grass border were dry, I started to assemble everything, starting with the nut house pieces, and then all the elements on the slimline panel using foam squares mostly to bring dimension to the scene.

And last but not least I created my sentiment. I white heat embossed the banner from Little Birdie on vellum, along with the phrase "Nuts about you" from Squirrel Friends inside of it, and I attached it at the top of the nut house using a clear foam square.

And done! This card was so fun to make, and those squirrels are really adorable, love their unique design! Please feel welcome to check the process video for more information. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Hello Friends, Waleska here!! It is starting to feel like fall and today I have the cutest card to celebrate love for the coming season!

For my card today it was super easy to figure out the colors of my card because I used the new Critter Country Paper and their beautiful colors inspire me to color this cute squirrels orange.

I stamped a bunch of the Squirrel Friends Stamps and started coloring them with the following copic markers: YR18/YR07/YR04 and E43/E42/E41. They are the cutest I love putting them around different scenes because they all have different positions.

This can also be a valentines card too! I then cut the front panel with the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies and started to have fun adding all the squirrels playing around. I cut a frame from kraft cardstock and added the entire front panel to a matching color paper from the same paper pad I used. To finish this card I added some little hearts to the cute couple that is sharing the acorn and I stamped the sentiment with black Versafine ink.

This colorful paper pad and squirrels are so beautiful I hope you liked this idea, thank you so much for stopping by today! Remember to stay crafty because today is only lived once, do what you love and enjoy it!!!
