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!
