Have you had stamp sets in your stash which retire never having known what ink is? Me too. I’ve been going through some of these stamp sets trying to use them. For my weekly Live this week I thought it’s time to use the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set which I hadn’t opened. This set is now on the Last Chance list so I’m glad I used it this week.
I wanted to create an autumn card with more soft colours using my old favourite Mint Macaron (sob, sob) and Fresh Freesia. Mint Macaron is saying goodbye to us and I will miss it.
My card has been inspired by the sketch at The Paper Players challenge.
I created a watercoloured panel on the right and an embossed panel for the left. The Nuts About Squirrels is a two-step stamp set, I added some extra shading using Stampin’ Blends.
The large leaf from the Aspen Dies and the branches which are die cut from our specialty paper create more texture for this cute squirrel.

Hello and welcome to the New at SU Blog where we are showcasing some of our fabulous bundles from the January – April Mini Catalogue with the challenge of not using ANY Basic White Cardstock.
My chosen product is the very cute Easter Bunny bundle. I put my hand up for the product and then I thought – ah, that wasn’t a smart choice without any white!
For my background, I ink blended Pool Party, Pacific Point and Night of Navy ink on Pool Party Cardstock which was layered onto a Night of Navy card base.
I stamped the bunnies on Very Vanilla Cardstock and coloured them in with a mix of Stampin’ Blends, varying the colours for the two bunnies. Then I added some highlights with Watercolour Pencils, Early Espresso for the one on the right and Cajun Craze for the other.
The flowers were watercoloured using a Water Painter and ink pads and some blending using Watercolour Pencils. I really love how the combination of mediums work together.
Leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set were stamped onto Very Vanilla Cardstock in Soft Succulent with highlights of Shaded Spruce. This was blended over with some leftover green on my Blending Brush (possibly Pear Pizzazz) and a bit of Soft Succulent.
I watercoloured a panel of Shimmery White Cardstock with Soft Succulent and Soft Sea Foam and then die cut the sprigs with the Organic Dies. A bit of extra shading was added using a Blending Brush once dry. To tie all the leaves and flowers together I added the solid leaves die cut from Fine Shimmer paper.
A simple heat embossed sentiment was chosen to balance out against the heavy foliage on which the bunnies were set.
I hope you have been inspired by my bunny card and perhaps you might like to consider adding this to your order. Until 28th February, every $90 you spend will earn you a free Sale-A-Bration product so it’s a great time to shop.

Oh what fun I’ve had creating this card using the cute Easter Bunny stamp set. I just got it in my latest Stampin’ Up! delivery and it’s the first time I’m playing with it.
I stamped the bunny in Sahara Sand and then coloured with Watercolor Pencils. For the body I used Crushed Curry with Early Espresso and Basic Gray adding some highlights and shadows. I added some Rich Razzleberry for a pink tint on her cheeks, ears and feet.
I stamped and coloured the left side of the body a second time. Fussy cutting and layering on top of the heart which had some Stampin’ Dimensionals under to pop it up, makes it look like the bunny is gifting a heart in keeping with our Love theme for the Global Design Project Challenge GDP379.
The soft floral Designer Series Paper added a lovely touch for this cute bunny card which uses the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches FMS571.
Although I’ve only used the stamp set for this card, this set also has a coordinating punch which you will want to order together to get the most out of this bundle and you also save 10% on the price.

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop to welcome in our New Mini Catalogue. I’m from Melbourne, Australia and I’m so glad that you have visited me today. I’ve done some mixing and matching for my creation today using products from our Mini and Annual Catalogue (which is just a couple of months in).
I’ve used the Splendid Day Designer Series Papers and Splendid Stems Dies with the fun bird from the Sweet Songbirds bundle.
I just love blending – aren’t out BlendingBrushes THE BEST? So …. I blended Pool Party and Granny Apple Green ink onto Basic White Cardstock and die cut it using the leaf dies. I used some inlays from the smaller leaf to embellish around the bird.
The nest was heat embossed in Copper and die cut with the semi-circle die. The elegance of the specialty Designer Series Paper makes this a cute baby card or a wedding card.
I hope to see you back soon. Please make sure you check out all the beautiful inspiration that is being shared today by everyone.
