Biweekly Challenge #12 - Cute Critters!

Hi All!   Kim here from Card-E-ology.

Everything is coming up Spring (well, it is in most areas of the country, anyway).  Spring is when all the cute little forest creatures and baby critters make their appearance, and we're ready to focus on that.

 This week, our team made projects with:

 MFT Cute Critters stamp set and Amy Tangerine Stitched collection 6x6 paper pad.

 These products and so much more are available at

Cuttin and Stampin Scrappy Supplies.

My challenge project focuses on love.  Remember, love can be any time of year, not just Valentine's Day.  Think a note in hubby's briefcase, little card in kid's lunchbox, etc.

All three of the patterned papers I chose were in the Amy Tangerine "Stitched" pad.  I used a Spellbinders label die to cut out the raccoon and sentiment, but the card is only showing about 40% of the whole die shape.  As you can see, the heart is also only showing a portion of the shape.   Your investment in dies is so much more valuable when you flex the creative muscle and realize you don't have to use the entire shape.

I felt the "Love" paper was very bold to the point where it could be overwhelming, so I only used a thin strip.  The card itself is a very dark grey and I used Memento dye ink in Grey Flannel for stamping.

Please find the cutest critters in your stamp collection and share your project with us!   We'd love to see how adorable they are!

Happy Spring & Happy Stamping!
