Best Friends: Nordic Waving Fox and Nordic Acorn Squirrel

 

Hello! Today, I’m excited to share two adorable friendship card featuring the Nordic Waving Fox and Nordic Acorn Squirrel from the new Holiday Cheer release. These sweet friends make the perfect pair, so I created a cozy autumn scene.

Then, as a bonus card, I made a Christmas card featuring the adorable squirrel presenting the fox with a Christmas gift. For the background I used the Nordic Snowflake Border, paired with the new Merry Christmas Fluffy Script sentiment.

Autumn Cheer: Pumpkins and Pickups

Hello! Have you seen the new Poppystamps Holiday Cheer release?  Autumn is a favorite season of mine, so, I’m sharing a pair of Autumn-themed cards I created using dies from this beautiful new collection.

Both cards feature the new Country Pickup and Pumpkin Patch dies. I had a general design in mind before I started, so I began by cutting lots of pumpkins and coloring them with Distress Oxide inks. For the backgrounds, I blended shades of yellow and orange with just a hint of green to capture the warmth and color of the season.

After assembling the green Country Pickup, I filled the truck bed with pumpkins, arranging them so they looked like they were overflowing out the back.

To add a little extra autumn charm, I die cut three of the Coneflowers from the Lovely Floral Bundle and tucked them in above the pumpkins. I thought this would be a perfect birthday card for a friend with an October birthday, so I finished it with an Open Studio birthday sentiment tab.

For my second card, I die cut one of my ink-blended backgrounds using the second largest Fine Eyelet Frames die. This time,I decided to create a mini-shaker card. I die cut the trunk piece five times and stacked the layers together to create dimension and space for the shaker elements. I added a piece of recycled acetate to form the shaker window. I filled it with glitter from my stash and a few mini pumpkins before adhering it to the rest of the pickup truck using double-sided tape.

I hope these cards inspire you to check out the Poppystamps Holiday Cheer release. I’ll be sharing a winter-themed card with the Country Pickup soon, so stay tuned! Until then, don’t forget to share some handmade happiness of your own and enjoy this beautiful and colorful season.
