SQUIRRELZ STASH BASH FEB 27, 2024 -- NEW, NEW, NEW!

Hello crafty friends!  It's finally time!  My crafty Squirrel Sisters and I are BACK!  We took a hiatus over the holidays which ended up stretching out just a *little bit* longer than expected.  While we were off, we took some time to contemplate what our next moves were going to be.  I still don't think we have it all completely settled, but HEY, one thing at a time!

For now, we are back with the theme of:

NEWEST SUPPLY

For me, that could mean any number of new things, but I chose to work with this ADORABLE chicken from Peachy Keen Stamps.

ACK!  Isn't this just THE CUTEST chicken stamp EVER?!?!?  The chicken is actually made from 2 different sets of stamps; the chicken body comes from the PK-1375 Faceless Chickens set, and the face is from the PK-1374 Chickie Faces 1 1/8" set.  These were on my secret wish list for a LONG TIME, and then when the owners of Peachy Keen Stamps had a sale on Valentine's Day, I jumped on the chance to get my inky fingers on a set!

With this card, I hope I was channeling my inner Anna Wight and Jillian Norwood with the vintage vibe I was going for.  The cute gingham papers come from the Honey Bee Stamps Gingham Galore Fall 6x6 paper pad, that I got multiples of when Honey Bee put them on the retiring list.  I mean, come on, who doesn't love some cute gingham paper?  Both pieces of gingham were die cut with 2 sizes of Gina Marie Designs Wonky Stitched Rectangles.  I die cut the image with the largest of the Spellbinders Classic Oval dies, and the mat layer is from the largest Lacey Oval die.  I inked it up with Iced Spruce oxide ink, as that matched the green gingham paper perfectly.  The cute chickie is colored with Copics, and highlighted with white gel pen.  The sentiment banner was cut with a die from Whimsy Stamps Quick Strips die set.  I cut multiples of the same die and cut them apart to accent the upper left corner of the card.  I inked all the paper and cardstock edges with Vintage Photo oxide ink.  And that's it!  

Now, if you've been here before, you know this post is part of a small hop, and the next talented gal you should be checking out is V at Passions and Distractions  Before me, you should have come from the fabulous Lounon at Craft Me, Craft Moi.

I thank you so much for stopping by today, and I hope you will have fun on our little hop!  Until next time, take care!
