It has been a great long while since I actually got to sit down and be a bit creative, but yesterday afternoon I finally holed away in my craft room while my little guy slept and came up with a cute little card for Cards in Envy’s latest challenge.
This challenge was all about cute and cuddly, so I pulled out my Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge (that’s a mouthful) and picked out this adorable little squirrel to adorn my card. All the patterned papers came from the American Crafts Autumn Crisp paper pack, which definitely gave the card a nod to fall.
In addition to the multi-layered Cricut image, I also used several other tools while making this card. I embossed the background with my Sizzix machine and then lightly sanded the circles to make them pop. I also added some edge inking, Glimmer Mist, twine and stamping to create the finished product. While the end result has basic lines, I think all the details bring it together into a cute cohesive card.
Adorable! I’m so glad you found the time to craft and create this sweet card for our challenge! Love your little squirrel critter! Thanks for sharing with us at Cards in Envy!
Thanks, Sandy. So glad you like the little critter card. I like playing along, but summer has really dipped into my creative time. . . although my camera has certainly been getting a workout.
Shawnna, This little squirrel is just adorable! And, I love that embossed and sanded background paper. Thanks so much for joining us at Cards in Envy. 🙂
