Here’s my card from the release. SSS sent me the Woodland Friends stamp set.
So I had to get coloring! I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Copic friendly ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Mostly E 30’s but the stump is E40’s.
A totally charming set of cute critters, sentiments and accessories.
I masked off the bottom and ink blended Gathered Twigs and Mowed Lawn Distress ink. Then I moved the mask and ink blended the top with Tumbled Glass Distress ink.
Here it is from the side. I die cut the largest panel with Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die set in kraft cardstock, then inked it good with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.
I cut a top fold cardbase, scored at 5 ½ in then one side at 2 ¾ in for the easel. I cut the corners of the cardbase off with a scissors to match the top Emerald Cut panel, then I inked it up too.
After I adhered everything together with glue, I tied on the thin cord from May Arts.
When I cut out the mushroom image, by hand, I left a piece at the bottom so I could score and make a stopper.
Here it is A2 size, folds flat and ready to go in the envelope.
I added some dots with a copic marker and a white gel pen. I used a die cut heart and glossy accents to glam up the heart on the stump.
Here’s a short video of how it fits in an envelope and how it sets up! (if a thank you comes up, just tap/click on the CC or subtitles and turn it off. I have no earthly idea how it got on there!)

Lovely coloring and the easel design really makes a statement.
Awwww, my oversized order has been placed, sigh… However, I may have to go back later for this set ‘cuz this card is just TOO cute. I still have a cutie pie stamp from one of their previous releases waiting to be colored. After seeing your adorable card I moved it up the line in the use-next basket. So many baskets, ack! BTW, you got me with the Spellbinders cleaning set. I clicked over and ordered the whole works. Somebody stop me!
Every day I sit and watch the Mama deer with her twin babies right out my window, less that 6-8 feet from me as they rest in my yard. I live out in the country with baby deer and also cute little bunnies. This stamp is just adorable-and the Spellbinder die is perfect! I have it and have not used it yet. Your inspiration has spurred me on. Just flat out darling and oh so creative!
So cute. Thanks for sharing.
Such a sweet card! And I love a shaped easel card as well!
Easel cards are always fun and yours is no exception! The color of the base card and the beautiful deer 🦌 look amazing!
