I told myself I wouldn’t be getting the September kit as I would hold for a Winter\/Christmas kit as they are my favourite kind of cards to create & if I’m honest I don’t tend to make autumn themed cards. But then I saw the squirrels & I just couldn’t resist, I knew I would regret it if I didn’t get them, they are so darn cute & I’m totally in love with them. The other stamps also included in the extended kit are really lovely too and I can’t wait to play more. As I’m in the UK they take a little while to get to here & by the time they arrived autumn was almost over! Im thinking I may have to keep autumn alive a little longer just so I can really make the most out of this kit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as it arrived I knew I had to get on a create a card, I just needed to play with these adorable squirrels asap. I was tight on time so opted for a simple card to start with, of course using the Nuts for Fall stamp set. I picked out the leaf pile along with the single leaves & one of the squirrels that looked like it was jumping! I stamped & coloured them with my colouring pencils. I don’t think I have coloured squirrels with my pencils before and I have to say I really love the colours I ended up using I think they work really well together. Once coloured I cut them out with their matching dies which are also included in the kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My background panel is cut using the 3rd biggest of the Nesting Deckle A2 dies from Hello Bluebird. I used Distress Oxide inks to create the background, I used blending brushes to add bundled sage for the grass area & speckled Egg for the sky area blending them together slightly when they met, I finished it by added some splatter detailing. All of the images are stuck directly on the panel & the sentiment I used is also from the same stamp set as the squirrel. I added foam to the back of the panel & adhered it to a coral panel which measures 3.75 x 5 inches, they are stuck to a standard card base with a blue 1 inch strip across the centre of the card base to tie it all together. I added some glitter to each of the leaves to give them some sparkle. I added another of the adorable squirrels & a birthday sentiment to the inside of the card and also to a salmon\/peach coloured envelope. I love how this card turned out & could be an autumn card convert!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
