You can make cards for many occasions with this Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set. That bunny is perfect for baby cards or Easter. Everyone loves deer so you have that covered for many cards. Even just the little trees will be fun to use.

To make this card, I used Crumb Cake for everything. The card base is Crumb Cake Cardstock with some stamping of Crumb Cake Ink. You could also use Versamark Ink for that same color or watermark look. The deer and trees are stamped on Whisper White Cardstock with Crumb Cake Ink. The greeting is stamped in Crumb Cake Ink with a little sponging around the edges.

The greeting is stamped and then die cut with one of the Ornate Frames Dies. The greeting itself is from the Gather Together Stamp Set. Just for a tiny bit of bling, I added two gold dots (that I think are retired!).

To stamp the deer with the trees behind him, stamp the deer on the Whisper White Cardstock, then stamp him preferably on a piece of sticky note and cut out. The “sticky” will help hold the “mask” on the cardstock in place. Place the mask over the deer then stamp the trees, even overlapping onto the sticky note because that is protecting the deer. Remove the mask and see how the masking technique worked! Save the mask in your stamp set so you can reuse it, no matter how messy it looks!

If you are looking for masculine cards or for someone who likes nature, this stamp set is perfect, not to mention making any kinds of cards you like with it. I think it is a nice change from all the florals and more “common” type of stamp sets. My son became fascinated with foxes after going to some national parks or other similar places were he saw foxes. One place was even some kind of preserve for foxes and people gather at a distance to take photos. So sometime I will make him a fox card!

If you don’t have time for coloring and all that, for any card that you are making, remember the monochromatic way of stamping…..just one color, no coloring!
