Swap Card Friday

Yesterday while mowing the lawn I was watching some busy squirrels gathering nuts for the winter. Boy, they had lots of acorns and black walnuts to gather from. So it seemed timely to share these cards that I received in a swap just this week that feature the Fluffy Squirrel Bundle.

I love the embossed Earthen Toned Metallic Paper strip on the side on this card by Michelle Branch! The metallic paper is from the Autumn Toile Suite and the embossing folder is from the Gathering Together Suite. These two suites pair beautifully together, and with the Fluffy Squirrel Bundle. The Gathering Together Designer Series paper has foil accents (the veins on the leaves are foil).

The Fluffy Squirrel stamp set has a matching punch which can be purchased together as a bundle for 10% savings. The little acorn is also included on the punch. The squirrel is popped up with deminsionals on a 2 3/8″ punched circle of Basic Beige. The Early Expresso circle is 2 1/2″ and I’m not sure which die set that is from.

This Fun Fold by Amy Rich features many of the same products as Michelle’s card. She has teamed the squirrel up with some gold foil and stamped him in Crumb Cake ink to match. Instead of punching the squirrel out Amy has stamped him on a punch 1 7/8″ circle.

Here you can see how the Fun Fold is created on the inside view of the card.

Fun Fold Paper Dimensions:

  • Base 9 1/4″x 5 1/2″ scored at 3 1/4″ and 7 1/2″
  • DSP 3″ x 5 1/4″ Layered on before die cutting out the partial circle
  • DSP 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
  • Inner Liner 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Stylish Shapes Die Cut Circles 3″ and 2 5/8″

I’ve been trying to hold out on this Fluffy Squirrel Bundle but after seeing these two awesome cards, it might just sneak onto my next order, lol. I do love my critter stamps!
