Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a theme challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
With our theme – it seemed pretty much a done-deal for me to bring you another sneaky peek at the Cutest Crew bundle – available 3 March 2026 in the new Online Exclusives! I also used a smidge of Garden Poetry DSP (another new Online Exclusive coming 3 March). Take a look-see:
And – here’s that Theme Challenge!
I used the current Sunday Stamps Sketch as inspiration for the layout!
I started by adhering a pretty piece of new Garden Poetry DSP to a Pretty in Pink mat using Liquid Glue for the card front.
Using the two dies in the Cutest Crew bundle, I cut out seven Basic White strips – 4 paw-prints and 3 diagonals. I cut them each down to 4″ long.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the strips to the card front.
On the 1 1/8″ x 1 3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Cutest Crew sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink. I matted the little rectangle on Pretty in Pink and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Cutest Crew kitties in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Using Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and Light & Dark Peach Pie and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends I colored the kitties. I used Light Petunia Pop and Light Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends to color the butterflies.
Using the die in the Cutest Crew set, I cut out the kitties – then I used scissors to cut off the two gray kitties – and a butterfly!
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals – I adhered the kitties to the card front.
I added some Pretty in Pink gems from the 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped the paw prints image from Cutest Crew in Blueberry Bushel on the bottom of a Basic White panel!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of a Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Blueberry Bushel paw prints across the front…
…and more of the Garden Poetry DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Once again, the Cutest Crew set lives up to it’s name! I love those die cut paw prints – and the adorable miniature panthers, don’t you?! And Garden Poetry DSP proves it’s versatility – not a flower in sight!! 🙂
I hope you like this fun little stamp set – and have added this to your gotta-get-it list for 3 March! 🙂
