Perfect Pair for a Foresty Thank You Card

Foxy Friends Racoon

Coordinating Foxy Friends Stamps and Punch

It might look complicated, but you can get adorable results in a jiffy with the too-cute Foxy Friends and Fox Builder Punch Bundle. With 29 pieces in the stamp set, you’ll have loads of options to create critter cards for every occasion. Fox, skunk, raccoon, deer, lion … the options are limitless. Plus, you can choose to stamp, punch, build or just punch and build.

For today’s card, I chose to stamp, punch and build a raccoon to get lots of extra texture and details.

Just Stamp Tips

  • Before punching, I stamped the face and tail. For overall texture, I stamped the Smokey Slate body pieces with one of the Timeless Textures stamps using second generation Basic Gray ink.
  • Coordinating Perfect Pines Framelits cut the evergreen tree in one pass through the Big Shot. Framelits also cut one Dazzling Diamonds star to anchor the tree and raccoon.
  • Fringe Scissors snipped a 1-inch strip of Mint Macaron cardstock to create a grassy patch, while the new 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon added an earthy element.
  • The Sparkle Embossing Folder,  my new fav, pulls the foresty scene together.

Hello Cards with New Badges & Banners Bundle

By | July 7, 2016

Badges & Banners Project

Life is just better with bundles, right? Creating one-of-a-kind hand-made cards that most recipients will treasure is easy with a versatile stamp set and coordinating cutting tool.

Badges & Banners SetB

On its own, the new Badges & Banners 7-piece set on page 89 of the catalog  is a great stamp set. But when paired with the meh! Best Badge Punch, it’s D-Y-N-A-M-I-T-E!  They’re  tailor-made for each other. Stamp and punch. No fussy cutting. You’re done lickety-split.

Badges & Banners Birdie

More Coordination: Not only does Badges & Banners have its own punch, it also coordinates with the Duet Banner punch. The  convenience just keeps going. Stamp the Little Hello and punch with the Duet Banner banner punch. So easy.

 

Badges & Banners Best Friend

Terrific Banner Tails: The Duet Banner punches more than banners! After creating the best friend badge, I punched one Cucumber Crush banner, snipped it into two pieces and added it to the badge.

 

Badges & Banners Enjoy

Pretty Papers: The new Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper has too many pretty patterns; I couldn’t decide which favorite to add to the background. Solution: I used several to paper-piece a layer for badge and ribbon. I like it!

 

Little Hello Butterfly

No Negativity Here: Sometimes the negative space is a great alternative. Instead of using the badge, I used the paper scrap. I’ll save the badge for later. The pretty butterfly was a save from a previous project. I added some new Copper Metallic Thread and three ribbons.

 

Badges & Banners Box

Box Them Up: The Gift Bag Punch Board helped create a pretty box for gifting this Little Hello set.

What could make the Badges & Banners Bundle better? Why, the special pricing you receive when you purchase the stamp set and punch together. You Save 10% when you bundle.
