Window Trio Heart Die Focused Squirrel Friends Card with Amanda

Hello friends! It’s Amanda here wishing you a VERY Happy New Year’s Eve! Is it too soon to make Valentine’s Day cards?! Well... I made one anyway using the new Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies! I’m excited to share it with you!

I made this mini slimline card using the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and the Squirrel Friends Stamps. To create this sweet little Valentine, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3” x 6.75”. I also trimmed a gorgeous piece of blush pink cardstock to 2.75” x 6.5”. I ran this panel through my die cutting machine with the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies. I also ran the die through with a darker pink cardstock, just so I could get the inner stitched hearts from that piece. 

I glued my blush pink cardstock panel to my white panel. Then, I adhered my darker pink hearts using 3D foam squares so they really popped!

Now onto those nutty little squirrels! I stamped the images from the Squirrel Friends Stamps and then colored them with Copic markers. Here are the markers I used:
Squirrels: E30, E31, E24, E25, E23, E25, E27, E29, W8, R02
Acorns: E11, E13, E15, E35, E37, E39

I cut out the images using the Squirrel Friends Dies. Next, I stamped my sentiments on a dark gray cardstock with a WOW! Embossing Pad. I applied WOW! Super Fine Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder to the glue. Then, I melted the powder using my heat gun.

I used scissors and a paper trimmer to cut out the sentiments. I used 3D foam squares behind all of the sentiments and images and then adhered them to the card. Finally, I used white paint to create dots all over the front of the card. After letting that dry, I glued my card front to a card base trimmed to 6” x 6.75”.
