Hi Friends, Samantha here! What’s better than a summer campout with good friends and good s’mores? These squirrels are having the time of their lives!


All of the images from S’more the Merrier, Let’s Go Nuts and Critters in the Forest were stamped with Jet Black ink and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I added some details to the images with a white gel pen! I used Distress Inks in greens to add color to the hills and grass that were die cut from white cardstock.


I used Distress Inks to ink blend the night sky, too. Then I splattered some white acrylic ink and gold paint on top to mimic stars! The sentiment was heat embossed in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock. I popped a few of the squirrels up with foam tape for some dimension! My favorite squirrel is that one peeking out from behind the trees with a few marshmallows! Sneaky little guy! Lol!

Thank you so much for inspiring us with this super cute card, Samantha!
