September Sweet Peek Week continues today at SugarPea Designs! Today we're sharing the new Nuts About You stamp set and two new SugarCuts die sets--Woodgrain Journal Card and Stitched Autumn Icons dies. You're going to love these perfect for fall stamps and dies!
I made the squirrel from the Nuts About You set the focal image on my card. I colored him with Copic markers, then cut him out. I made a woodgrain background for him by cutting the SugarCuts Woodgrain Journal Card from kraft cardstock, then cutting out a circle from the embossed piece.
I adhered the woodgrain circle to an olive cardstock panel over a piece of dotted patterned paper. The colors in the paper are a little non-traditional for fall, but that adds to the fun of the card. I stamped a portion of one of the set's sentiments ("ahh nuts!") on a cream cardstock strip and added it to the panel, tucking one end underneath the squirrel image. I love how clear stamps make it so easy to just use part of a sentiment! I die cut an acorn and a pair of leaves using the Stitched Autumn Icons dies and arranged the trio at the opposite end of the sentiment strip. The finished panel was adhered to a kraft card base.
