Hey crafty friends! It’s Amanda here with you on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing the cutest little hamster card! I had to get a little creative when creating this cage for my little Happy Hamsters! I actually used the Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies to create their little home.
First, I die cut the frame piece. I used the stitched border piece as my frame and the sand piece for the “bedding". I also used the “sky” piece for “bedding” by flipping it over and trimming it down with my paper trimmer. I blended Catherine Pooler Shea Butter ink on these two pieces.
On a piece of A2 cardstock, I blended Catherine Pooler Cotton Candy ink all around the panel. From the Happy Hamster Stamps, I placed all the little heart images onto an acrylic block. Using the Cotton Candy ink pad, I stamped them all around the background. I glued this panel to an A2 card base. Next, I glued my “bedding” and frame pieces to the card base.
I stamped all the hamsters, the wheel, and some sunflower seeds with black ink. Using Copic markers, I colored the images.
Here are the markers I used:
N1, N3, N5
W6, W9
R00, R20, R22, R37
E30, E31, E33, E35, E50
White Gelly Roll pen
Once colored, I die cut them out with the coordinating dies. For the hamsters behind the bedding, I adhered them to my card front with liquid glue. For the other 2, I used 3D foam squares.
And, finally, for the sentiment! I die cut one of the word bubbles
from the Copic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies out of black
cardstock. I stamped the sentiment with my Wow! Embossing pad and
then applied white embossing powder. I melted the powder with my
heat tool and then put 3D foam tape behind it and stuck it to the front of the
card.
Thanks so much for coming by the blog today! I hope you find some
time to get crafty! Come back tomorrow for more inspiration from the
Design Team!
