Stampin’ Up! #1 Demonstrator Pootles – Toadstool Hedgehugs Card for Pootlers Team Swaps!
Well today I have a card that reaches levels of ‘cute’ that I don’t think I’ve ever hit before…
Hedgehogs hold a very special place in my heart. We had regular spiky visitors to the garden in our last house, year after year, and I was delighted to find that we have a group that visits us in this house. Hopefully you can see this video here of a lovely chap visiting us! They are absolutely adorable.
My other love is toadstools. As you can see from the video and photos… (they’re illuminated and too cute!) So pairing the 2 together makes total sense!
So I made a toadstool background on my card by using the 1/2″ and 3/4″ circle punches, about 3 or 4 of each and then adding the toadstools and hedgehog over the top.
Circle punches made my life so much easier, even though I was only making 6 for our Team Swap Group (I’ll be sharing their swaps to me soon!), but you know, I do like to punch out shapes where I can!
I hope you like the cards, they were fun to make, and I hope you like a peek at the family hedgehogs who like to visit us each night!

Lovey design
Yes indeed, the very hight of cutenss. I too love Hedgehogs and have many a story of them in my garden. Fron them fighting, coming out of hibernation in winter, watching me watering the garden to them taking shortcuts right through the house. Just like your card they are wonderful. Many thanks Sam and take good care
What’s a team swap??
I love hedgehogs too. I was blessed to visit a hedgehog sanctuary while on holiday. One of the hedgehogs had recently had babies and l was able to hold one in my hand and give his tummy a little tickle. Oooh so soft. I didnt want to leave.
Lovely card
Cute card Sam, that is amazing having hedgehogs visit you. I don’t think I have ever seen one in real life, maybe at a zoo, but can’t remember. I think toadstools are cute too. Love the ones in your garden.
He is soooooo cute. I wish I had them in my garden. Love your card.
