Fluffy Fall - Stampin' Up!® Fluffy Squirrel

 I hope you aren't tired of seeing this Fluffy Squirrel punch bundle because I think I'm just getting started! Even those of you who aren't squirrel fans can agree that the paper version has some great qualities!  He doesn't dig up your garden, he won't steal the birdseed out of your feeder and he won't sit in the tree above your card and throw acorns at you! Lots to love I think! My card today definitely has fall vibes with the color combo but the colors could be changed out for an all year round vibe.  And it's always nice to have a layout that uses 1 inch strips!

  I made a set of this design recently for customer thank you cards.  It's fun to send them a little preview of what's coming out especially if they don't have a catalog yet!

  I started with a Crumb Cake card base then cut 5 strips (1" x 3 1/2") and kind of layered them from dark to light starting at the top.  The Pecan Pie strip is stamped with acorns in Early Espresso, the Cajun Craze strip is a piece of the new Gathering Together DSP, the Crushed Curry has the sentiment stamped on it and the Cloud Cover piece is stamped with the cross hatch accent stamp.  I used Versamark to stamp this piece and just made sure they were dried before handling.  Using Versamark for tone on tone stamping is the perfect solution to not having the Cloud Cover ink pad available.

  The squirrel outline is stamped in Early Espresso and filled in with Pecan Pie.  After he's punched out and popped on dimensionals I added a stamped and colored in acorn.  

 An Early Espresso linen thread bow and a few Streaked Dots at the top finish off the embellishments.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
