Stamping with Fiona

Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Fiona Harris

Nuts About You – more squirrels for you.

by Leave a Comment

Hello! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Today I have three more Nuts About You! Cards to share. If you missed Friday With Fiona featuring this set you can find it (here).

For this card I die cut three colours of the Gingham Designer Series Paper using the Diorama dies and layered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped and fussy cut the squirrels, two branches and some leaves.

For this card I matted and layered Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper onto Sweet Sorbet & a Tahitian Tide card base. I ran a piece of Early Espresso through with the Timber embossing folder, daubed Craft White ink over it & then cut where there was a ‘knot’ to create a hole and put a piece of Basic Black behind it. I stamped and fussy cut the Squirrels, the hat, bow and present (from Penguin Place stamp).

The third card was a special one I made for one of my brothers birthday, I couldn’t show it until he’d received it and I’m pleased he liked it! It is a fancy fold designed by Emma Goddard and I also used the Happy Hedgehogs and Party Puffins. It was a labour of love. 💖.
