Fox

I was asked to make 36 baby shower invitations for a co-worker/friend and his wife. They have shared with me a picture of what they are using for inspiration for decorating the nursery. In that inspiration picture there were birch trees painted on the wall. I knew I had to use the Woodland embossing folder to create the background. When I saw that there were foxes in the inspiration picture, Foxy Friends had to be brought out of retirement!

I fussy cut the tree stump and the two mushrooms but it really didn't take too long to get done, even with 36 of them to do. I put a bit of Wink of Stella on the mushrooms. I hope the new parents like what I did for these invites. The hostess loved them!

Happy Stampin'!

Foxy Friends

This little fox and his friends are too adorable! It was so much fun to play with them too. I did some fussy cutting on these cards. I don't mind fussy cutting but I know it's not for everyone. One thing you might not know. This stamp set is a photopolymer set. You can bend them a bit to get them to curve. You can see that I was able to curve the branch to match the curve of the oval. I did fussy cut the stump.

I really like the Tree Ring background stamp. I haven't used it nearly enough. I fussy cut the trees, the fox and stump. I sponged Crushed Curry on the circle and the sentiment.

Punching out just the heads and the tree top on this card makes a striking focal point. Adding the tags helps to bring your eye to the characters. I did take the Early Espresso ink pad and rub it on the embossed trees to help them pop off the page a bit.

I'm really working on using all my stamp sets and then sharing with you my creations. Stay tuned for more!

Happy Stampin'!
