Who doesn't love a knitting llama? This one is just soo cute and the color combos is one of my favorites (Coastal Cabana and Flirty Flamingo). It is hard to see in the picture, but the "wall" behind our llama friend is full of texture (see video). Also, with this card, you have a choice to die cut out the llama from the DSP or stamp it, die cut it, and then color it with the blends.
I am just loving all the details in the dies. This side table, vase, and flowers are adorable and could be used with so many other stamp sets as well.

This cute card is all about the DSP. I was able to die cut that cute raccoon but had to fussy cut out the rest of his friends. I wanted that raccoon to be the star and so I had him on "double" dimensionals. I stacked one on top of the other to make him just a little bit more taller than his friends.
Those sweet cupcakes in their hands were fussy cut out as well from the DSP and I used them as my "embellishment".

Pebbled Path: 5" x 3 3/4"

Steps
- Measure, score, and cut your paper.
- Fussy cut 3 party animals from the Zoo Crew DSP and die cut out the raccoon with balloons.
- Fussy cut 3 cupcakes.
- Stamp with the Pebbled Path ink onto the Basic White the greeting in the top right corner.
- Glue the Pebble Path matte to the Basic White and glue to the cardbase.
- Attach each DSP animal with dimensionals but double stack your raccoon balloon dimensionals to make him stand out more than the others.
- Use glue dots to attach the DSP cupcakes to the animal hands and liquid glue one by the stamped greeting.
This foxy card was from a swap and I just love how they created a "spotlight" for the fox by die cutting the DSP with the Stylish Shapes Dies.
