Hi, it's Therese, and I am back with another edition of Take 2 with Therese. Today's post is a Stamp Focus using the fun Chipmunk & Squirrel Stamp Set.

I have 2 cards today sharing how to mix up stamp and die sets to create punny sentiments for these cute critters!

First, I started with the Fine Alphabet and Happy Birthday Dies. I mixed it up with some stamped words from the Thick and Thin Alpha Stamp Set.

And I added a Modern Circles Stencil background with a die-cut Rounded Rectangles center.

Both my critters today are colored with pencils, in almost a ‘no-line' style.

My second card design is very similar, but this time, I used the Brush Alpha and Simple Alpha Die sets.

I also used the You are Loved Die.

This time, my background was created using the Halftone Circles Stamp Set.

To see how I created these cards, you can watch my video here or watch it in HD on YouTube.
