Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a good week! I recently posted two cards I made with the Fluffy Squirrel stamp set. Today, I am bringing that stamp set back as I just love it! It was perfect for making an anniversary card for my husband!

I love making cards for a specific recipient. I like to pull in colors that they like and add little touches that remind me of them. In this card, one of the squirrels is giving the other one a flower. My husband built me a greenhouse this past year to keep all my flowers safe from the deer and the weather. So that is what the little flower represents. The other squirrel is holding a little heart which represents my love for him.
The card was fairly simple to make other than using a little bit of many different products so that I could make a very customized card. The card base is Pecan Pie cardstock. The next panel is an antique wood pattern from Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The Heart panel paper is from the Weekend Adventures Designer Series Paper. It is cut out with a recently retired die from the Hearts of Elegance Dies. The squirrels are from the Fluffy Squirrel stamp set. These are 2 step stamps. The outline images were stamped with Tuxedo Black. The inner image that gives them their color was stamped with Pecan Pie for one and Petal Pink for the other. The flower was added with Mossy Meadow ink and colored in with Berry Burst Stampin’ Blend. The heart was cut out with a die from Pet Love Dies with Berry Burst cardstock. I fussy cut the Pecan Pie squirrel to include the flower. I punched out the Petal Pink squirrel with the coordinating Fluffy Squirrel Builder Punch. The squirrels were adhered with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Mixed Labels stamp set and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. I cut the sentiment out with a banner die from the Words for the Seasons Dies. This banner was also adhered with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I decorated a panel of Basic White with a small strip of the Weekend Adventures DSP. I left it blank for writing my own message!
There is something special about being able to create a card specifically for your recipient versus giving a store bought card. I find that people love that I added their favorite color or theme. Something as simple as a card becomes much more meaningful when its hand made.
I have added information about new specials and products from Stampin’ Up below. If you have any questions about my card or about any stampin needs, please reach out me to at nicole@thesigningstamper.com 🤟
