Hey crafty friends,
Lately, I’ve been soaking in those little everyday moments, the ones that remind you how special it is to be together. That’s exactly the feeling I wanted to capture in today’s card… sweet, simple, and full of heart.
For this card, I used the recently released Sweet Friendship Stamp and Die Set by Simon Says Stamp, and honestly, these little critters could not be any cuter.
I started by creating the background using Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink blended over light peach cardstock. To give it some playful texture, I splattered a darker pink (watered-down) ink along with white paint. Next, all of the images were stamped, colored with Copics, and die-cut using the coordinating dies.
Copic Markers Used:
-
Mouse: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40
-
Skunk: N7, N5, N3, N1
-
Fox: YR07, YR16, YR15, YR12, Y17
-

-
Tree Logs: E27, E25, E23, E21
-

Once everything was colored and die-cut, I arranged the images across the card to create multiple little friendship vignettes. I added a few p tiny red hearts to tie everything together. The sentiments, “We’re better together” and “Together is my favorite place to be”, felt like the perfect finishing touch for this design.
This card is such a sweet reminder that it’s often the simplest connections that mean the most. Be sure to follow along with the just-for-fun Instagram hop featuring our favorite Simon Says Stamp products.
