Cutest Crew Card

Posted on May 1, 2026May 5, 2026 by Mo Rootes

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”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White

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 5^th 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.

The same image was then stamped on scrap Basic White card with Early Espresso ink and die cut using the Cutest Crew dies.

Using the following Blends Pens I coloured in the image – Light, Medium, Deep, Dark Crumb, Light Pecan. Dark Poppy & light Granny. The die cut piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

From the strip of Pecan Pie card I die cut the row of paw prints and tucked it under the row of dogs having trimmed it down first.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using one of our products of the month. I have chosen to make my card using the Painted Illusions dsp, February’s product of the month which is still available.

Colours used in this card are:

I created the quilted painted illusions card using the following supplies:

Lost Lagoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Night of Navy – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Painted Illusions dsp – 1” squares x 9
Backing – 3” by 3” – I used grid paper but copy paper would do

Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Night of Navy

I ran the 5¼” by 3½” Basic White layer through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder and adhered the embossed panel to the panel of Night of Navy card. The layer was then glued to the Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I laid out the 1” squares of Painted Illusions dsp on the 3” by 3” piece of grid paper creating a pattern. When I was happy with the layout, I used liquid glue to adhere the 1” squares to the grid paper.
