Holiday Tags & Labels Gift Tags with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing autumn squirrel gift tags. I decided to give the Holiday Tags & Labels stamp a different look and create autumn tags.

I started by die cutting the Scalloped Tag Square from gold glitter cardstock to create the base for each tag. Next, I used the Holiday Tags & Labels Stamp Set to stamp the circles in beautiful autumn colors: green, orange and yellow. I stamped each color onto cardstock in the same color family, but one shade lighter than the ink.

I die cut the stamped circles using the coordinating dies and also die cut the little squares from the same set. For an extra playful touch, I die cut the little bows from the Sleigh Ride Surprise Die Set, again using the same green, orange and yellow color palette.

Then came my favorite part: assembling everything! I adhered all the pieces onto the golden scalloped tags, mixing and matching the colors so that every tag has its own little combination.

Of course, these tags needed some adorable characters, so I stamped and colored the squirrels from the Squirrel Friends Stamp Set. Once they were colored, I added them to the tags, and they really brought the whole autumn theme to life.

For the sentiment, I chose the “Thanks” stamp from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamp Set. And finally, I added coordinating pieces of colored ribbon to finish off each tag.

Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Critter Country Paper Focused Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this autumn card. 

The background of this card came together really quickly because I used one of the beautiful fall scene paper from the Critter Country paper pad. It already had the perfect autumn landscape, so there was no need to create the scene from scratch.

For the main focal point, I wanted to use the adorable scarecrow from the Farm Fresh stamp set. I stamped and colored him along with several cute squirrels and acorns from the Squirrel Friends stamp set. To add even more autumn vibes, I also stamped a few pumpkins from the Too Cute To Spook stamp set. I colored all of the stamped images with my Ohuhu markers, choosing warm autumnal shades to complement the colors in the background.

To bring the beautiful fall orange back into the design, I die-cut a frame using the Tropical Trees Backdrop die. I really love how the orange frame makes the whole scene pop and gives the card a nice finished look.

Once everything was colored and die-cut, I simply adhered all the elements onto a card base and added some little highlights with a white gel pen.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Zig Zag Circles Die Focused Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this cute squirrels card featuring the new Zig Zag Circles dies.  

First, I cut a piece of white cardstock to use as the background for my card and die-cut the Zig Zag Circles from it. I then blended the edges of the circles with brown ink to add some soft/wooden definition.

Next, I blended pastel green ink onto the card base. I made the color a little darker around the circles to create more depth. After that, I adhered the background panel to the card and placed the Zig Zag circles back into their original spots.

Then it was time for stamping! I decided to use these adorable Squirrel Friends stamp set and stamped them with brown ink to keep the look soft. I colored the images with Ohuhu markers.

I left one circle open to stamp a sentiment from the new Inside Greetings Friends stamp set. Finally, I glued the squirrels and acorns onto the card, added a few tiny hearts also from the Inside Greetings Friends stamp set and added some highlights with a white gel pen.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Squirrel Friends Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back with the extra cute Squirrel Friends, all gathered to pick acorns and have fun in the woods.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, as always I used the matching dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Squirrel Friends - squirrels, acorns, stump • Little Birdie - branches • Silly Sloths - leaves • Bunnyville - grass.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next I moved on to the background. I cut a rounded panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, and created a bright background using stencils from my stash along with distress inks: a grass border using peeled paint distress ink, and a cloudy sky using scattered straw and fossilized amber distress ink.

Next I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Gingham Jewel Tones brown panel, and used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn my brown gingham panel into a rounded frame. I attached that frame to my cloudy panel using 1mm foam squares, stamped "You're a little nutty & I love it!" from Squirrel Friends, and then attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I stuck my rounded scene to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark brown panel, and then to a brown card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely and warm autumn card. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Squirrel Friends Fall Scene Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi, popping in to share some fall scene cards featuring our Squirrel Friends Stamps. I challenged myself to create two different takes on the same oak tree theme using identical color palettes.

My first card pairs the squirrels, acorn, and tree stump from the Squirrel Friends Stamps with the Autumn Tree Die. This tree comes with three different types of leaves and apples to personalize it for so many different occasions and seasons. I am in love with all the ways it can be used! For my card today, I cut out the oak leaves from pale yellow cardstock and then inked them up using Scattered Straw, Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, and Spice Marmalade distress inks. 

I had a piece of 12x12 American Crafts paper in my stash (from Shimelle Main Character Energy collection) that I used for both of my card backgrounds today. I love using subtle tone-on-tone prints to add a little interest to my projects without making them overly busy, so I'm always lurking around the clearance bins to stock up solid tone-on-tone prints with this purpose in mind. As soon as I saw this print, I knew it would be perfect for the blue skies of many of my scene-style cards. For my green hills, I blended Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn distress inks and then cut the stitched hillsides using our Slimline Nature Border Dies.

Here's a little peek at the inside of my card with the punchline to "You're a little nutty" paying off when the recipient opens the card and sees "& I love it!" with three of the small acorns from the Squirrel Friends set.

For my second card today featuring the Squirrel Friends Stamps, I paired them with a different oak tree from our Fall Scenes Stamps. I also stamped the rake, a pile of leaves, and some other loose oak leaves from the set for my little squirrel to clean up. For my "Leaves are falling, Autumn is calling" sentiment, I used a greeting from the Happy Harvest Stamps and curved it in my Misti lid to match the curve of the fence border. I then stamped the swirling wind for my leaves from the Fall Kiddos Stamps in Hero Arts Cornflower Ink. Lastly, I stamped the tufts of grass using PinkFresh Studio Olive Ink with the small grassy images from the Tulip Path Background Stamps.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
