Pals September Blog Hop: All Creatures Great and Small

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is All Creatures Great and Small. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love the theme of this month’s Pal’s Blog Hop, and I sure hope you do, too! I hadn’t taken out my little Happy Hedgehog and coordinating punch for quite awhile, so it seemed the perfect time to do so! Here is my Autumn hedgehog card:

I wanted to build a little fall scene with my hedgehog, so I used the Autumn Leaves dies to cut out a variety of small leaves from the All About Autumn and Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series papers. Setting those aside, I built my card.

Here are the measurements for this 3″ x 6″ card:

• 6″ by 6″ Very Vanilla cardstock, scored at 3″
• 6″ by 3″ panel of All About Autumn Designer Series Papers, adhered to card base

From there, I used the Deckled Circles Dies to cut out two circles, one a little larger, in Very Vanilla and Pecan Pie. I also cut out a sentiment panel from the dies in this set — I love the stitching around the outside of the rectangle! I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, and then heat embossed the sentiment with copper embossing powder.

I stamped my little hedgehog on a scrap of Very Vanilla and punched it out with my Hedgehog Builder punch. I cut a length of the pretty and shiny copper ribbon to drape behind the sentiment panel, and adhered the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I popped up the sentiment panel as well, and then added a smattering of small leaves to the card. I used a couple of embellishments, and I was done!

All the products used to make this project can be found at the bottom of the post. I so enjoyed combining my cute little hedgehog with some new products from the September-December Mini Catalog — I will say it’s one of my favorite catalogs ever!

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month (second Wednesday), when our theme will be The Color Purple. Until then, have fun in your craft space.
