STAMPIN' UP! HAPPY FOREST FRIENDS FRIENDSHIP CARD

 Welcome to the third (and last, just for now) instalment of my Happy Forest Friends series of cards!

Today's card features the sweet little fox and owl, and a few patterns of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper.





Isn't the sentiment, from the Count On Me stamp set, a beautiful one for a friendship card?  I stamped it in Basic Gray ink on Basic White card, and cut it out using a Harvest Die.

The fox was stamped in Calypso Coral ink, the owl in Sahara Sand ink, and the tree stump in Soft Suede ink, all on Basic White card.





I cut some tiny flowers from So Saffron card, using Sending Dies, and added Classic Matte Dots as the flower centres.

STAMPIN' UP! HAPPY FOREST FRIENDS THINKING OF YOU CARD #2

 I'd like to share with you today the second card I made, in my first play session with the delightful Happy Forest Friends suite.  The waving bear is pretty cute, isn't he?  He's raised up on Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, to sit on top of the Linen Thread wound around the card front.





In addition to using some of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper on my card front, and for the little banners, I fussy-cut a couple of tiny birds from the paper, to use as accents on my card.

I perched one little bird on the tree stump on the patterned paper:



... and added the other bird to my sentiment "rosette".  The sentiment, stamped in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White card, is from the Flowering Tulips stamp set.  I cut it out using a Stylish Shapes Die, and added the two DSP banners that were created with an All That Die.

The sunshiney background is the Rays of Light stamp, in So Saffron ink on Basic White card.  A few Brushed Brass Butterflies were added, for even more happiness. :)

STAMPIN' UP! HAPPY FOREST FRIENDS THINKING OF YOU CARD #1

 The new Happy Forest Friends suite, in Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalogue, is categorised as a "Kids & Baby" suite.  Pfft!  It's my favourite suite in the catalogue, just for its "everyday" cuteness!

Here's the first card I made with the Happier Than Happy bundle, and co-ordinating Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper.



The bear was stamped in Soft Suede ink on Basic White card, and die-cut.  Onto the Natural Finish Ribbon, I stamped (in Soft Suede ink) the little acorn, just 'cos I love a bit of theming!

The toadstools were stamped in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White card.  The tree stump was stamped in Soft Suede ink on Sahara Sand card, and the foliage stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Old Olive card.  There are co-ordinating dies for each of these images.

I stamped a little grassy patch in Mossy Meadow ink, beneath the bear, to ground him.




The sentiment I've used is from the Flowering Tulips stamp set.  After stamping it, in Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White card, I cut it out using the oval die from All That Dies.  Behind the oval is an Old Olive piece, cut using a Beautiful Shapes oblong die.

The little acorn was stamped in Soft Suede ink on Sahara Sand card, die-cut, and adhered to a DSP banner created with one of the All That Dies.  A Linen Thread bow adds a finishing touch.



Even though "cutesy" is not normally my thing, I adore woodland creatures, and creating with these new products just makes me happy.  Expect to see lots more!
