Today’s birthday card features the adorable squirrels from the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! The card was inspired by the fabulous TGIFC337 sketch challenge shown below!
I am playing along with the TGIF Challenge this week! You can see the #tgifc337 post and play along as well by clicking here.
Are you nuts about stamping? We are, too! And it’s easy to go nuts with the Nuts about Squirrels Stamp Set. This set features two cheeky squirrels that will look adorable scampering across any of your projects. Create a scene using the acorns, leaves, and tree branch. Mix and match the greetings with the images to create cards for birthdays, get well, and thinking of you. Use the Two-Step pieces to add color to your squirrel, add texture to your leaf, or to create a multicolored acorn. Or if you’re feeling especially artistic, you can color the squirrels using your favorite coloring techniques. No matter where you live in the world, you can customize these critters to match the fauna outside your house. Red, gray, brown—these creatures are just plain cute no matter their color. 13 photopolymer stamps
