Fall into Autumn Celebration Week Day 6: Let’s Go Nuts!

Welcome to day 6 of 🍂 Fall into Autumn Celebration Week! Today’s card is extra special, as it’s for my husband’s birthday – tomorrow. Plus, I had a blast creating it with a masking technique that lets these two squirrels share the spotlight.

💡DOstamping Tips:

  • On the white strip, stamp the squirrels where shown.
  • For stamping acorns, place a punch-out of the squirrel (from scratch paper) over stamped squirrel. Then stamp acorns – also use a punch-out of the acorn (from scratch paper) to stamp additional acorns in both Pecan Pie and Early Espresso.
  • Color acorns with Stampin’ Blends.

The Fluffy Squirrel Bundle brought just the right mix of charm and cheekiness, and the autumn palette ties it all together. Whether you’re crafting for a loved one or just love a good pun, this card is sure to make you go nuts—in the best way!

  3. Your card cracks me up! We tend to have more gray squirrels around here with some brown mixed in. But I am always up for a Cajun craze, pecan pie or crumb cake version. Just so fun. I keep putting off ordering this bundle which is silly as I know I would use it a lot. Thanks for bringing a smile today. Please let us know what your husband thinks of the card.
