Cutest Crew Card

I have been playing with the Cutest Crew stamp set and dies and have made a birthday card featuring the row of dogs.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the cutest crew card using the following supplies:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Pecan Pie – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic Beige – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Pecan Pie – 4” by ¾”

I placed the image of the row of dogs onto the small plate of the new Stamp Positioner, available in my online store from the 5th May 2026. I then stamped the image down the Basic Beige layer using Basic Beige ink. The stamped layer was then adhered to the Pecan Pie panel and then to the Poppy Parade card front.
