Hello there! I know — this card is diabetic sweet, but pretty stinkin' cute, if I say so myself. My cousin had his 1st birthday so I need to get this off to him in the mail today. I have like 300 cousins, seriously. I'm not going to mention that it's belated. He's 1. He doesn't care. He's getting a little extended birthday and something new to chew on — which is also the reason why there are no enamel dots or sequins on this card. When you send cards to little kids, be mindful of what you put on them for embellishments as they can be a choking hazard.
This super adorable card came from the new Foxy Friends stamp set by Stampin' Up! and you can make all sorts of critters of a fox, raccoon, cat and even a reindeer (Christmas!) from this stamp set and even a forest scene. All of the images are solid, so no coloring and you can make very clean and simple cards from this stamp set with the coordinating punch and A Little Foxy Designer Series Paper Stack. The main colors are Calypso Coral, Dapper Denim and Smoky Slate, which allows you to make feminine or masculine cards. I do wish that there were coordinating dies with this suite of products. I just think that when you have an entire suite that coordinates, go all the way big and have die-cuts. Nothing beats the perfect crisp edge of a die-cut, nothing, not even an electronic cutting machine. I'm picky like that.
This entire card was made with the above Product Suite of A Little Foxy, than can be found on pages 56-57 of the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. If would like a catalog, please send me an email and I will be sure to get one sent to you.
The Christmas Catalog will be here soon and if you spend $150 between now and September 1 with me, you will receive a free Christmas Catalog in the mail, which also means that you will see it before most people do too 🙂 That's why ordering with me is always a good deal. You get a Thank You card and a FREE Make 'n Take.
