March Card Class "Furry Friends"
03/24/2018
Here are the cards that we made in March’s class. In keeping with the theme, three of the cards have furry friends. The fourth card is a last hurrah to Sale-A-Bration that features the elegant and pretty Springtime Foils specialty designer paper. Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.
Card 1: Dog and Parrot
Who can resist this cute card featuring a dog, parrot and red balloon. The images are from the Bella & Friends stamp set and the sentiment is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set. The Ballon Bouquet punch was used to punch the balloon—the smaller sized balloon was used.
Here is the recipe:
- Stamp Sets: Bella & Friends, Perennial Birthday
- Pool Party for card backing 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”
- Bermuda bay cardstock 1 3/4 x 4”
- Bubbles & Fizz designer series paper 2 x 4”
- Basic black cardstock 3 x 3 1/4”
- Whisper white cardstock 2 3/4 x 3"
- Real Red cardstock for small balloon
- Balloon Bouquet punch
- Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
- Stampin’ Blends - Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate, Cherry Cobbler
Card 2: Friends Fur-ever
These cute critters are from the We Must Celebrate stamp set. The stamp set actually comes with the squirrel, raccoon, bear and rabbit standing in a row. I cut the stamp so that the squirrel and raccoon were left together. Because we use a clear block to mount the stamp, I can always put them back together to stamp them as a foursome. Then the snail was stamped separately.
Here is the recipe:
- Stamp Set: We Must Celebrate
- Whisper white for card backing 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”
- Crumb Cake 2 1/8 x 4”
- Pick a Pattern designer series paper 3 x 4”
- Basic black cardstock 2 1/4 x 3”
- Whisper white cardstock 2 x 2 3/4”
- Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
- Stampin’ Blends - Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral
Card 3: Hedgehog
This cute little hedgehog is making another appearance. We last used it on a notepad folder and little notepad. You may have seen this little guy elsewhere. He is made using the Painted Harvest stamp set and Foxy Friends stamp set (face and hearts dialog box). His rosy cheeks were stamped using the eraser top on a pencil in Blushing Bride classic ink. I’ve never pet a hedgehog, but I imagine this one to be furry.
Here is the recipe:
- Stamp Sets: Painted Harvest, Foxy Friends, Petal Palette
- Crumb Cake for card backing 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”
- Old Olive cardstock 2 1/2 x 4”
- Early Espresso cardstock 2 1/2 x 3 1/4”
- Whisper white cardstock 2 1/4 x 3”
- Layered Leaves 3D dynamic textured embossing folder
- Classic ink pads: Real red, old olive, soft suede (stamp off for full background, stamp regular for accent), crumb cake (face)
- Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
Card 4: Sending You Hugs
This card features the pretty and elegant Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper, which is a Sale-A-Bration item. The pack consists of 4 designs. You can see from the photo that all designs were used. I paired the silvers and the coppers together. Each has a touch of gold so I used gold foil to frame the sentiment. The sentiments are from the Lovely Inside & Out stamp set. The ink and cardstock are Fresh Fig. Somehow this color makes the metallics pop.
Here is the recipe:
- Stamp Set: Lovely Inside & Out
- Fresh Fig for card backing 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”
- Whisper white cardstock 1 1/2 x 2 3/4”
- Gold Foil 1 3/4 x 3”
- Springtime Foils specialty designer paper 2 x 4” and 3 x 4”
- Classic ink pads: Fresh Fig
