As cute as many of the cards and projects I was seeing using the Foxy Friends Stamp Set, I have to admit, looking at the many stamps in the set and the Fox Builder Punch, I felt a little intimidated and wondered how to use the punch and all these stamps! Finally I had to stop and watch the Stampin’ Up! video and look at some samples online, and now I have taken the leap! I can’t wait to make some more cards and projects with all these cute critters!
To make this card, I started out kind of copying a sample in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog. As usual, it didn’t come out to be an exact duplicate. The A Little Foxy Designer Series Paper Stack is going on my next order, so I made my own designer paper for this card! I found two different sized hearts in other stamp sets to stamp for background paper on Whisper White for this card. The card base is made of Smoky Slate Cardstock. The fox is stamped in Tangerine Tango Ink. Then I stamped his eyes and nose and also his front legs. These are some little details that you add with this stamp set. I didn’t use the Fox Builder Punch today on this card!
I tied on some of the Smoky Slate 1/8″ Stitched Ribbon for an embellishment. The fox is die cut with one of the circles in the Layering Circle Framelits Dies and layered on a scalloped circle die. The greeting is made with the Thoughtful Banners Stamp Set and punched out with the Duet Banner Punch. Did you know you can bend the photopolymer stamps a bit if you want them to be curved, like in a greeting?
Check out the A Little Foxy Suite on pages 56-57 in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog! So many cute samples and see all the stamps you get in the Foxy Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set. If you are also interested in the Fox Builder Punch, be sure to get the Bundle and save 10%!
