Hedgehog Card Using the National Stamping Month Triple Stamp Set

I've been playing with the "You Are My Happy" National Stamping Month triple stamp set and I am having so much fun creating simple but darling (okay, I think they are darling! lol) cards with it.

Here are a few details of how I created this 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card:

  • I stamped my icon and sentiment (from the National Stamping Month "You Are Happy" triple stamp set) in Black Archival Ink on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of White Daisy Cardstock
  • I stamped the icon again on a scratch piece of White Daisy Cardstock
  • I outlined the edge of the 4" x 5 1/4" square, using a ruler, about 1/8" in with a black archival pen (.03 size)
  • I then colored the cute little hedgehog with my trusty Watercolor Pencils.  I love how you can create such depth with them, so easily.
  • I cut out the fluffy part of the hedgehog (whatever that is really called) on the hedgie I stamped on my scratch sheet and used 3D Foam Tape to attach it (you can see that better in the detail shot above).  Now would be a great time to mention our new non-stick scissors, so I think I will.   They are perfect for cutting 3D Foam tape, or anything sticky. In fact, I use them for EVERYTHING! I love 'em!
  • I mounted this on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Saddle Cardstock.
  • I then mounted that on a standard size white card from our White Daisy Cards and Envelopes Value Pack.
You can get all of these products on my website.  I've also created links above.  Don't forget that this awesome triple stamp set ($47.90 value) is only available in September and is only $10 with a $50 order.

Here is what all 3 carrier sheets of the stamp set looks like  (actual size is 6" x 6"):
