Cats, dogs and birds, Cutest Crew

 Hi there, I’ve shown you the birds with this new SU set, Cutest Crew.

My first post with this set is HERE

Now it’s time for the dogs and cats.

I ended up making four cards, with more ideas in my head!

This front flap or flip top card inspired me, but I’ve searched in vain for the originator.

 Cut a piece of A4 white into quarters for the base, cut coloured card at 9cm wide x 29.7cm (A4),

score in half at 14.8cm, adhere to base, and decorate.

This was a sympathy card for a neighbour, hence the stamped paw prints going off the page.

(In memory of his sweet Terrier, “Polo”)

There’s stamps and dies. I like how they can hang over the side edges of the front flap.

Then some birds flew by…..(this is what happens when you edit your post multiple times 🙄)

The birds are in a group of 3, which were not enough, so I’ve just added two groups.

The stripes and paw prints border strips are another die in the set.

Dogs with paw print borders in the blue and white.

The line of cats was die cut too, pretty in pink 

Here’s the inside of the cards, upon which I added a single animal, (the cat ran away 🙄)

and an extra die cut of the “line up” of animals to hide the back of my blend pen colouring, 

and it adds strength.

I can see me using this set a lot for animal loving friends and children.

Have a good weekend

Cutest Crew in the garden

 Hello there, today’s card was inspired by Laura Mackie.

I used the Cutest Crew set from SU, and their Arch dies to create a shaped cards.

I was imagining a spring day with dogs playing in the sunshine.

I used various old stencils for the background, stamped, coloured and die cut the pups,

and stamped a sentiment from the set.

I’m taking this to 

Stamping Sensations , nature

We love stamping, spring

Allsorts #847, in the garden

Flying by with the cutest birds

 I’m flying by again, with a small flutter of wings from my Cutest Crew set from SU.

I was making a card for the Allsorts Challenge #845, and did a second, plainer, almost opposite one….

Here’s the two together…

Have the best day

Things with Wings for Allsorts

 I’m delighted to be invited to make a card today as a guest designer for the

Allsorts challenge #845 “Things with Wings”

(Or anything goes)

There’s a wonderful prize on offer.

I recently acquired a new set from Stampin’ Up!  called “Cutest Crew”

It has stamps and dies, featuring little birds, dogs and cats.

I started by stamping the bird group, colouring some parts, then die cutting the teeny dies to go on top…

I’ve been trying to use my embossing folders,

 so here is one of the SU “Heirloom Frames”, which also has dies,

and the background foliage is SU “Greenery”, which has two slim designs.

I placed some tiny foam pads to lift the birds wings, and added some twine.

I debated adding some bling, but nothing seemed to work, so I went with the CAS look.

Have The Best Day, and pop over to the

Allsorts Challenge where the team will inspire you to enter with their lovely designs.
