Hello friends! I honestly can’t believe that it’s October already. Where has the time gone? But, on the bright side, a brand new month usually means new stamp releases! I’m here to share the newest Animal House Stamp Set that I was kindly sent from Technique Tuesday! Every month, Technique Tuesday comes out with a brand new Animal-themed Stamp and Die Set.
This month’s set features an adorable hedgehog named Henrietta along with some fun nature stamps. For those that follow me, you know that I adore creating 3D scene cards. I thought it would be fun to create a fun little pop up box card for Henrietta to strut her stuff, lol.
To start, I first created the base (box) of my card using a sheet of 12″x12″ White Card Stock, some patterned paper (any patterned paper will work), a scoring board, paper trimmer, scissors and some strong adhesive.
Box Card Dimensions
- Trim paper to 4.25″ x 12″
- Score along long side at 2 3/4″, 5.5″, 8 1/4″ and 11″
- Rotate 90 degrees and score paper (along short side) at 2 1/8″
- Cut flaps accordingly and fold
- Inside shelf measurements are 3.5″ x 1″ and scored along the long side at 3/8″ and 3 1/8″
For my images, I stamped them with Copic friendly black ink, colored with Copics (colors listed below) and used the Henrietta Hedgehog coordinating Crafting Dies to cut them out.
Copic Colors Used
- Trees: G20, YG13, YG17, YG67
- Tree Trunks: E31, E23, E29
- Reds: R05, R14, R46, R59
- Whites: 0, C00, C2, C4, C5
- Henrietta: E30, E31, E25, E27, E29, E49
For my grass, I simply trimmed a few pieces of green card stock and used my scissors to cut some grass patterns (it’s easier than it looks!). Once done, I lightly blended each piece with some Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink to add some slight shading.
I stamped my sentiment onto some White Card Stock and placed it on the front flap of my card. I also added two small strips of deep red card stock to make my sentiment pop.
