Franci’s Whimsical Guinea Pig Card

Hello there, Franci here and happy Wednesday! Today I’m happy to be here with a lovely card full of little guinea pigs!!

The Wheelie Like You set from Lawn Fawn is one of my faves and I love creating little scenes with that cute guinea pig/hamster! First of all I created my card base and a coordinated panel out of white cardstock, then I die cut a window out of my panel with the die included in the Shadow Box Card Park Add-on set. I also die cut the grass twice and I colored it with Distress ink. For the sky I used a piece of light blue gingham paper from the Gotta Have Gingham paper pad.

I stamped lots of guinea pigs and also flowers and mushrooms plus other elements from the Oh Gnome! set, I colored them with Copic markers and die cut them with coordinated dies. I styled everything together and I glued down all my images with a combo of Glue Tube and foam tape.

I added some details with a white gel pen and stamped my sentiment at the bottom. Oh this punny sentiment is sooo sweet and adorable!!

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today!
Have a lovely day! Franci

Now let’s see what our amazing Design Team has created to inspire you!

Grace created a stack of adorable critters precariously balancing their Fintastic Friend on top! This inventive card has lots of movement as the images are attached to a hidden clear thread, making it look as though the stack is swaying back and forth. Be sure to check out Grace’s Instagram to see this card in action!

Samantha M used the windows in Peekaboo Backdrop to make cute little scenes featuring the Happy Howloween pups celebrating a very adorable birthday!

Karin‘s delightful design features a cute couple of dogs from our Critters at the Dog Park set! The wedding attire is found in Bicycle Built for You!

I “wheelie” like Samantha C‘s adorable card starring our little hamster from Wheelie Like You! The rainbow colors add to the charm of this sweet card!

Jessica used a pair of Meow You Doin’ kitties to make this charming card! The sweet little scene is backed by a pretty white on white Fancy Lattice Backdrop!

Franci did a great job of combining old and new on this super cute Shadow Box Card! She used the new Shadow Box Card Park Add-On to create a fun scene for the Critters in the ‘Burbs cat and bunny!

Christy‘s inspiration for her sweet card is her adorable new puppy, Gemma! She used images from Critters at the Dog Park on the custom background and created a cute scene on a Fancy Scalloped Circle using Holiday Helpers and the puppy from Bicycle Built for You!

Who says farm animals can’t be pets? Certainly not Joyce who made this totally fun birthday card featuring the Hay There critters! Her fun scene includes a Leafy Tree Backdrop and the Spooky Fence Border!

Jenn used Meow You Doin’ to depict her 3 favorite kitties! Mr. Harley is overseeing the festivities while Gus stretches and Jac juggles a fish!

Franci’s Whimsical Smart Cookie Card

Hi there! Franci here with you today with a cute card inspired by the Challenge 20 “Fun with Food”!

This makes me giggle so so much! First, I die cut a Stitched Rectangle and a Simple Stitched Hillside from white cardstock. Then I added color to my panel by sponging on some distress inks and set it aside to dry. I stamped all my images from these Lawn Fawn sets: Wheelie Like You, Smart Cookie and the ladder from Cheery Christmas using Jet Black ink which is Copic-friendly. Then I colored all the images with Copic markers and I die cut them using their coordinating dies.

I assembled the scene by attaching the elements with a combination of liquid glue and foam adhesive.
I stamped the fun sentiments from the Thanks a Bushel stamp set at the bottom of the card and the one from the Smart Cookie stamp set at the top with the same black ink used before. I added some sequins and finally I drew some details with a white gel pen to make my critters and sweets even cuter!

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a lovely day!
franci 🙂
