Hello! Thanks for joining us on our Create with Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop! We love creating for you to give you some inspiration in your own crafting.

We're having fun with an Animal Kingdom theme this week for our blog posts. I don't usually get too many animal sets, but like everyone else I wasn't able to resist the adorable 'Cutest Crew' Bundle!


Stampin' Up! Card Ideas 2026. Cutest Crew Bundle

Products Used

  • Bundle: 'Cutest Crew'. Adorable little dogs, cats & birds! The surprise is that the little birds have become my favourite part of this bundle.

  • Colour Combo: Crisp Cantaloup & Secret Sea



Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Card Base:

    1. Cut Thick Basic White Cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".

    2. Score in half at 4 1/4".

  2. Card Front:

    1. Cut a Secret Sea DSP (this is from Mixed Up Patterns) to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and add to card.

    2. Cut Crisp Cantaloupe DSP (2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP) to 3" x 4" and mat on a 3 1/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock. Add to centre of card

  3. Details:

    1. Heat emboss in white on Secret Sea Cardstock the sentiment and cut out with the 'Scalloped Blooms' Dies.

    2. Cut out the lined die from Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock. Cut into 4 pieces and tuck behind the sentiment. Then add this whole piece to the card with dimensionals.

    3. Stamp birds in Black and colour with Stampin' Blends. I used Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow & Granny Apple Green. Cut out and add to card.

    4. Cut out the little butterflies and add to card.

    5. Add a few In Colour Butterflies too.
