Hi, everyone! Kalyn and I are back with our video series, Two Many Cards. If you missed our first four videos in this series, check out the original post HERE, which explains how and why we’re sharing our own unique take on the same products.
Today, we’re featuring Stampin’ Up! Foxy Friends and Fox Builder Punch. This is a fun, versatile set with 29 images that can make cards for every occasion, year-round! We’re also featuring the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, Nature’s Poem Cardstock Pack and Nature’s Twine Pack. These products and their colours and textures all work so well with our featured products.

I love this set so much that once I got started, I got carried away and made three cards with three very different layouts. As you can see, the possibilities are endless with this stamp set, especially by changing colours and sentiments!
I used cats as my feature animal because I have so many cat lovers in my life and I could always use more cat cards in my stash. This first one uses a traditional layout of repeating images.
I used inks that coordinated with the colours in the Nature’s Poem Cardstock Pack to stamp nine cat heads. Then I arranged them on a panel embossed with the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, and embellished with twine from the Nature’s Twine Pack.
The idea for my second card spun off from the three extra heads that were stamped for the first card. I added bodies and tails to create a little trio of kitties. Then I stamped some cute, tiny mushrooms to finish the scene.
You can see how tilting the heads and adding the legs in the front makes a difference in the look and personality of the cats.
Both the sentiments from the first two cards are from a Paper Smooches stamp set called Many Thanks and the flag tag die is from My Favorite Things’ Blueprints 29.
My third card doesn’t have a sentiment but makes an impact without one because of the details on the cat and the pearl embellishments I added to the laurels. I used the spotted head, bibbed torso and white-tipped tail to make this lone kitty unique.
Since this panel is flat and the card base is the palest of the three cards, all the white space and pearls on the laurels really makes the kitty pop.
I really enjoyed playing with these beautiful products! Stampin’ Up! was one of my first loves when I started stamping more than a decade ago.
