Jungle Critter Party

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am playing along with Lawn Fawn Inspired By Challenge #196. I was inspired by Elena Roussakis's cute puppy party at the banner table framed with scallops. I made a jungle version with jungle critter paper in the background instead the rainbow stripes using Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate More Critters Stamp Set, Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate More Critters Add-on Stamp Set, Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate Hangouts Stamp Set, Lawn Fawn Scalloped Rectangle Stackables, and Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite animal below?
A: Me? Monkey



Supplies:

Hooray, You Did It!

Hi Crafty Friends,
Graduation season is upon us and Poppy Stamps has the perfect stamp set for your grad cards called Hooray Stamp Set. I used it with the Nordic Floral Burst Background Die in PINK so I can also remind you to join the Poppy Stamps May Challenge Tickled PINK.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Any graduates in your life?
A: Me? No, but in 2026 the grad will be ME from PTA School

Step #1: I die cut the Poppy Stamps Nordic Floral Burst from a pink and gold shimmer pattern paper from the Memory Box Glimmering Gladiola 6x6 Paper Pad and the background gold shimmer from the Poppy Stamps Vintage Pastel Mirror 6x6 Paper Pad.
Step #2: I mounted the burst to the right side of my card on the heart paper from the Poppy Stamps Birthday Fun 6x6 Paper Pad. Then, I trimmed the edges and mounted it on a gold shimmering base.
Step #3: I stamped my sentiments and mounted them in the center right and added little gems from the Poppy Stamps Autumn Fairy Jewels.
