I love the adorable animals the Stampin’ Up! Artists create.  The new Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs both have some cute ones.  I am focusing on the Happy Hedgehog Bundle with today’s card.

 

 

Happy Hedgehog Bundle

I really love it when I can make a card using a single stamp set.  To me it means that you can purchase the set, or in this case the bundle, and be ready to go.  And for the set to include adorable little critters is just a bonus!  Did you notice the sentiment?  That is going to be an often used one for me!

The hedgehog is punched using the matching Hedgehog Punch.  The cutie can be stamped and punched as one piece like I did.  Or it can be layered with the top different to give added depth.  More versatility is always a good thing.

Colors

My goal for this card was to be bright and happy to match the new Friends.  So I used Just Jade and Pale Papaya.  I stamped everything with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then used Stampin’ Blends to color.  The adorable bird is one that I actually researched.  I needed a bird that was not brown, since most of the other elements had quite a lot of tan / brown.  This adorable little girl is an Eastern Bluebird, if you want to be exact.

After layering the hedgehog for a bit of depth, I did the same for the sentiment.  It is layered over a strip of Pale Papaya.  The perfect fit for the sentiment was the Double Oval Punch.  And for a finishing touch, to go along with the other critters, I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly.  These little butterflies are so adorable!!

Sale-A-Bration is the Best Time of Year!!
