This week’s challenge for #TGIFC564 is a sketch challenge. It’s a fantastic sketch and the perfect layout to share a sneak peek of a new stamp bundle.

#TGIFC564

The stamp bundle is called Cutest Crew, and it is well…the cutest!! Whether your a dog person, cat person, or bird person, it has something for you.

The stamps are adorable and the matching dies add even more. Not only do the dies cut out the coordinating images, there are stand alone dies with more animals and things such as pawnprints.

The DSP that I used for the background is a sneak peek as well. It is called Wood Grain Wonders and has a subtle wood grain print.

Both of these items are part of the upcoming Online Exclusives that will be available to order on March 3rd.

To Make the Card

Begin with a 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, score and fold at 4-1/4” to form your card base.

Sandwich a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Wood Grain Wonders DSP in the Birch Wood embossing folder and run through your cut & emboss machine.

Stamp a row of dogs on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento black ink. Color the images with the following Stampin’ Blends; Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite, Medium Light (SU700), Pretty Peacock, and Summer Splash.

Cut the stamped image out, along with two strips of paw prints in Early Espresso cardstock and a set of flowers in Crushed Curry cardstock, with the Cutest Crew dies.

Adhere one of the paw print strips to the DSP, one inch from the top edge. Then, adhere a 4” x 1-3/4” piece of Basic White cardstock below it, followed by the 2nd paw print strip below that.

Trim the excess paw print strips off with your scissors and adhere the piece to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp your sentiment on a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock using Memento black ink.

Cut the sentiment out with the long, skinny banner using the Stylish Shapes dies, and adhere it to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere three flower die cuts to the card as shown.

Add a small dab of Wink of Stella to the center of every flower.
