It is time for a super cute challenge at Retro Rubber Blog Challenge. Use a critter stamp! A critter can be a bird, butterfly, anything
with fur, or whatever if it has a cute face!
So come join us and share your cute critter creations at RRBC.
I am not much of a “cute” stamper, so my image choices are a
bit limited. Glad to have this fun peep
from Unity Stamp Company that has been around since May of 2014.

| The front of the card in closed position. |
I also used a new-to-me Oval Pull Card by Karen Burniston
for Elizabeth Craft Designs. To use this
die it is best to just head over to her YouTube channel and take a look at her
how to video or this
fun video for
inspiration. She is a great designer of
moving cards and an excellent teacher as well.

| The card open, notice how the bird and heart moves revealing the present and sentiment! |
I started with by stamping the peep form the aforementioned Little
Sumptin’ Peep set. He is stamped in
Imagine Memento Tuxedo Black on white card stock and colored with Chameleon
pens in Cornflower Blue BL4, Indigo BL7, and Mellow Yellow YO2 and then fussy
cut. All of the other papers were from
my scrap bin; the patterned plaid paper is a very old Hot Off the Press
probably purchased at Michaels 15 years ago!
My scrap of pink was so small I almost didn’t get the 2 additional
hearts I needed to hid the sentiment behind the window, glad that worked
out! The balloons and mini present are
dies that I have owned forever (think 15+ years) from Quickutz. The rest of the card is from the Oval Pull
Card set, including the cute little heart.
The sentiment that shows through the transparent window is from the Hero
Arts OWH Missing You set. The sentiments
are stamped in Imagine Memento Danube Blue.
A little bit of craft thread in coordinating colors finishes the
balloons off quite nicely don’t you think?

barely enough pink to make the extra hearts I decided to use!
