Aren't they just the cutest? I think young foxes are called kits. Go figure that one. Glad you had that experience!
Julia - LOVE the cute, simple cards. You are right - They do "Crack Me Up".....

Honestly Gigi - That little dog just has my heart! He is in the card rack looking at me now. And he may just be a permanent resident.
Adorable all around.... great project to do with leftover card stock.... thanks for the inspiration Julia.

Hi Julia, Been doing cards for 20 + years and its hard to find a good channel. You've done it!!! love, love, love your channel! I watch you every morning, with my coffee.(sometimes over & over ) . I also need to use up my scraps (I have tons) and enjoy your tips. And, after COVID, we all need a smile, so these cards do the trick (As a variation, try putting a wobbler under the head to make it jiggle.)

Hello Julia! I love these cards! I invision looking out a second story window and the bigger snowman seems to be looking up. These cards are joyful and out of the ordinary. So fun to watch your videos, old and new.

Hi Lilly - Thank you so much! I ended up adding a gold star up in the corner that he's looking up at. It finished the card up nicely.
How cute is that! ❤

These are adorable! The dog is a hoot. I love him and I think adults would like to get him as well as children. You think of so many nice ways to add features and embellishments to these. It's nice to see that we do not always have to make an elegant card. Sometimes the "whimsical ones," like you said can do the trick and make a big impact. I want to try some of these.😉 Thank you for showing us how to make them!❤👍

Hi Julia, you are truly amazing at using up the little bits and bobs. I loved your cards they are so cute. I still have (believe it or not) my paper crimper so I might have tried running the snowman's nose through that to see how it would look. Thanks so much for another great video. 😊🇨🇦

You are so welcome Beverly! I also really like the Sakura Gelly roll pens, the tip doesn't seem to dry out as fast as the Uni's for some reason, in my studio. And they come in some fabulous colors too. I go through spurts using white pens and then letting them set not in use.
Love these!

Hi there Julia, Goodness me Julia, you don't waste anything at all do you? I would have thrown out those little scraps from the 2024 date even the centre of the 0. I find it absolutely incredible that you based these cute little cards on those little (useful) scraps. When you revealed your first card, and before you said that it was a mummy..., on seeing it for the first time I thought it was three black jellybeans on a plate... LOL 🤣And I was wearing my reading glasses at the time! All I can say Julia is that you have a wonderful and creative imagination to come up with these whimsical characters. I have never seen a circle cutter like that before, it looks very versatile. I have the Hero Arts nesting dies of many shapes including circles. I pray that you have a wonderful day whatever you are doing. Blessings, love and hugs. Gloria 🥰💐☕🍰❤

G'Day Gloria! OK so that cracked me up especially because I happen to be one of those rare people that loves black jellybeans. Really licorice of any kind will do but I am very fond of the black. My favorite card was the dog - of course! I bet you already knew that tho!! LOL Have a wonder filled day full of Blessings! Julia

@@SeniorSusieStamps Julia, I love the black jellybeans as well, and liquorice... yum. I love chocolate coated liquorice... double yum! Yes, I thought you would have liked the doggy card, and to be honest it was my favourite as well. Your day is just beginning while mine is nearing the end. Have a blessed day in Jesus. 🌻

OK now, I've never had chocolate covered liquorice. I'll be on the lookout for it. There is a hard candy coated pink and white liquorice sweet we used to get at the movies called Good & Plenty that was really good (especially if they were fresh). I haven't thought about those for awhile!!
So cute! Try putting the heads on a wobble!

Hi Sue - I wasn't sure why he looked angry. I think if I had perhaps turned the eyes a bit, but they were glued on at that point... I still have the dog in the studio, never could send him out - he's probably permanent LOL!!
OMG, where do you take all these ideas 😅. You could cut your circles with your Scan N Cut? Couldn’t you?
