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!)
