A Trio of Foxy Fall Shaped Cards

I'm popping in today with some new cards which all share a fun fox theme.  The fox trend is hot right now and I can't seem to get enough of them!

Up first is a shaped card using THIS Silhouette cutting file.  I adhered the ears and cheek pieces to some ivory felt which I then cut around by hand like a pattern piece.  This gave the felt some stability and made it easier to stitch around.  I'm sort of in love with this little guy.  I think it would be super fun to make him all out of felt and make him into a coin purse!


Up next is fox shaped card using THIS adorable Silhouette Cutting file.  To dress him up I added a little stitching around his belly and cheeks and used some black enamel dots for his eyes and nose.  His tail was the perfect place to tie a tag for my sentiment.


My last card features a adorable fox image from Papertrey Ink's Hello Foxy mini stamp set paired with a beautiful fall paper collection called Family Traditions designed by Adrienne Looman for Webster Pages.


I hope you've enjoyed these cards as much as I enjoyed making them.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  :)
