This new release is filled with so many fun new stamp sets, paper and dies!  I didn't know what to start with!!

I decided to use the new Squirrel! stamp set first to create this fun card:

I used the acorn from the stamp set to randomly stamp acorns on my Kraft paper to create my own fun paper!  Perfect for the squirrel image!!

I used the Nesting Oval Scalloped Frame Dies to die cut the white paper, in which I then stamped the squirrel image and sentiment!

The squirrel was colored in using my Copics!  I thought about coloring in the 'nuts' in the sentiment but decided to leave it as is for now!

So fun!

Have you seen the  gorgeous new paper line?!?!  

It's called Fall Harvest!

I love it!!

I decided to use the paper to create a Fall layout:

The previous released Fall Leaves Die Set coordinates with the new paper perfect!  So I die cut a few of the leaves from the paper to create my own embellishments!  I also added a squirrel!!

The 'Fall' sentiment was stamped using the Alphabet 1 and Alphabet 2 stamp sets!

The sweet image was taken last fall of my kiddos!

Cricut Squirrel

Hello Crafty Friends!!

I have an adorable card to share with you today!  It's my day to post for Joy's Life Design Team!

This week we are focusing on "Masculine Cards"!

With Father's Day around the corner, I decided to create a card for the kids to give dad!

He likes squirrels!  So my little guy helped me create the squirrel from the Create A Critter cart!

I also decided to create a shaped card!  Something a little different and fun!

The "I'm nuts about you" from the That Tastes Punny set is such a perfect fit with this cute critter!! 

I also thought it would be fun to cut out the acorn from the cart to add to the squirrels hands!

I used the masking technique to stamp portions of the sentiment at a time, so I could create the three lines of text, rather then just the one line straight row.

Check out all of Joy's fun stamps here!

Have a wonderful day!!
