SquirrelFest Challenge + Giveaway!

Hi, it's Emily here with a new squirrel card and video for my fall SquirrelFest Challenge. After sharing my husband's card and my son's painting, I was inspired to create my own hilarious squirrel scene in the form of an accordion tri-fold card.

I used Enjoy the Show (Circus Icons) and Fanciful Fall (Fanciful Fall Icons) sets to create my scene and sponged the sky and grass with distress inks.

If this scene were to play out in slow motion, you would see the squirrel jumping up to replace all of the acorns with balls. I'm sure you have other interpretations of what's happening between the clown and the squirrel. I'd love to hear them! ;)

I hope you'll play along for extra chances to win two fabulous Paper Smooches stamp sets!

Circus Birthday

Hi, it's Emily here to share a birthday card I made for our neighbour's three-year-old daughter. We got her LEGO DUPLO's My First Circus and I wanted the card to match the gift! I started with the Enjoy the Show stamp set and coordinating Circus Icons dies.



I used patterned papers with a circus theme to create all three layers of the tent. The tent opening and flaps were created with the largest of the Hexalongs dies.

I combined both the Balloons and Big Balloons dies to create the three balloons. I used the confetti swirl as a number three! The sentiment banners were created using the Digits stamp set and Flag Tags dies to notch the ends.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blissful Banners

Kim shared this card on the Paper Smooches Blog yesterday. It features the new Blissful Banners stamp set, which coordinates with the existing Streamers dies, and is the TAM set until June 30th.  This means Blissful Banners is free with every qualifying $60 purchase! 

My card also features the Enjoy the Show stamp set, Circus Icons dies and Flag Tags dies.



Thanks so much for stopping by!
