Thoughtful Branches~Hedgehog

The minute I saw this card that The Pampered Stamper created for one of her classes I knew I had to recreate it and I knew others would want it too so that is when I decided that my biweekly Coffee Class was the perfect place to have others create it.  It was a huge hit! Thanks Jackie for sharing your design with us.

Here is my version:

So much fun to put together. I am totally in love with the Thoughtful Branches Bundle.  I am so sad that it's only available while supplies last so if you have not gotten it yet I am not sure why but click on the links below to purchase yours before they are gone then come back to finish reading about this card!

Phew OK so you have gotten your bundle now lets talk about how to complete this card.  I made my hedgehog on an oval body cut from Crumb Cake Paper and the Layered Oval Framelits.  I punched my ears from the Festive Flower Builders punch I used the medium size "petal" and cut it in half for the ears.  I attached them to the oval and then layered the branchy part of the Thoughtful branches (I trimmed off the trunk of the tree) I popped it up on Dimensionals.  I layered all of that on a sponged Circle that I cut from the Layered Circle Framelits. 

Punch a heart from Crumb Cake for the "hogs" face and layer it upside down.  Punch eyes from the Owl punch and decorate with the Chalk marker.  add the nose and voila you have your "hog" ready to mount on the card.  Just cut your 1/2" circle in half and attach them as shown for your feet.  Aw isn't he/she adorable?! Mine is a boy. Just Sayin'

If you needed to see the full instructions and see how easy it was before picking up your supplies then now is the time to make a few purchases to show your love to me and to all those recipients of this awesome card you too are going to recreate!  Shoo-Shoo, go shop, be happy, but most of all...

Enjoy!
