Hedgehog Slimline cards | CutCardstock DT

Hey everyone! I hope your week has started off pretty good! Well today I wanted to share these two cute little fall cards with Hedgehogs on them! I think they are just too cute!

I created the base of my cards out of Cougar White Smooth CardStock, like normal. I also did all of my stamping on the same cardsrtock. This is my normal, I like the way the paper takes the different inks. Not just stamping but distressed oxide too, as you can see I made a background piece with distress oxide and a cloud stencil.

I colored all of my little hedgehogs,(these are My Favorite Things, Happy Hedgehogs), with my alcohol markers and a little white gel pen. I ran some patterned paper through my sizzix and created the scalloped edge and then ran Gingersnap cardstock through my sizzix as well with the dies to cut out the holes. I had to have somewhere for the cute little hedgehogs to go!

Once I had places all the hedgehogs, their logs, mushrooms and othere little things down I added some 3D foam to the back of the solid cardsotck and stuck it down. On the green casrds I had chosen to use Gumdrop Green, I pulled out a few distress oxides from my stash and inked around the edges and stamped my sentiments and call these cards done! I hope you enjoyed these cards and I hope you come back to see what else everyone comes up with!

The Best Day layout | Mercy Tiara Kits DT

Good morning crafty people!! How are you this morning? I’m doing pretty good, getting crafty lol I wanted to share another layout with y’all using the Brighter Days kit by Mercy Tiara Kits. I am seriously loving this kit!! There are two papers now that I have completely cut up, but having the paper add on made it easier for me to do! I knew exactly what picture I was scrapping for this layout so grabbing papers was where I needed to start. And I wanted bright colors, so no white background this time.

I had a hard time with this one, I love all the papers in the kit, but I finally decided on the Tell the story paper. I though the light pink would be nice, and I could use bolder paper on top without it being TOO busy. I have had a problem cutting up the flower paper, Your my fave, but I decided to go with it and ripped it down! I have an issue with wasting stuff, so I flipped over the extra piece and slid it under the flower paper and loved the way it looked so I cut another piece down and slid it under the bottom side too.

So, for me the main part of this layout was done. I knew where my photo was going and that left everywhere else to put my title, journaling and all my pretties!

I pulled out the container that I put all my fussy cut Woodland Grove gold foiled paper and started sliding the florals behind different layers, behind my photo and then at the bottom right end too. I pulled out my typewriter and did my journaling, this way I knew how much journaling I had and where I needed to put it so I could add more to my layout.

I have been trying to finish off the foam sticker sheet cause they are usually hard for me to use, so I had picked that to be something I was shooting to finish completely with this kit. So, I picked my title and placed it. There was a good area for it and the white around it made it stand out a bit. I popped my photo up and slid a few more flowers under it, part of a frame and a cute little word ephemera piece and moved on to tucking things here and there.

I didn’t fully glue down my flowers that I’d fussy cut cause I wanted them to stick up a bit and I also still wanted the option to slide a few things under them or in them too. The Pinkfresh vellum pieces were too cute so those are a few of the things I slid in with my fussy cut florals. I added some word stickers here and there that when with my layout and that was it for this layout! I hope you enjoyed this layout and I hope you come back for more inspiration!
