How To Make It: 

Start with a cardbase of Smoky Slate cardstock. Then, stamp the tree trunk image in Soft Suede ink on the 3” x 3 ¾” piece of Whisper White card stock. The 3” sides should be at the top and bottom. Stamp image centered from left to right about ¼” up from the bottom edge.

Using Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral ink, stamp the mushroom images from Foxy Friends on both sides of tree stump.

Next, stamp the leaf arch from Foxy Friends in Calypso Coral ink centered from left to right at the top edge of the Whisper White piece.

Using the Fox Builder Punch and Smoky Slate cardstock, punch out two sets of shapes so that you have enough parts for two raccoons.

With Basic Gray Archival ink, stamp the mask/eyes, tail stripes and legs/feet) as shown above. For the girl raccoon you will only need the head and body pieces. The rest can be set aside. Stamp the eyes and noses of both raccoons using the Basic Black Archival Ink.

Use SNAIL adhesive to attach the boy raccoon’s tail so that it extends from the right side of the image. Next, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhere the boy raccoon’s body so that he’s sitting on the tree stump.

Using SNAIL Adhesive, adhere the girl raccoon’s body at a slight angle behind his being sure to just tuck her in behind his side. Adhere her head with SNAIL Adhesive so that she’s peeking out over his shoulder.

Adhere the boy raccoon’s head using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the “Grateful for You” sentiment from the Acorny Thank You stamp set onto a scrap of Mint Macaron cardstock. Cut out a banner with Paper Snips and “flag” the ends. Adhere banner with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Take the Woodgrain Designer Series Paper and wrap a 6” piece of Smoky Slate 1/8” Stitched Ribbon with placement as shown. Add SNAIL Adhesive to side edges of the Designer Series Paper and wrap the ribbon around to the back so that it is secure.

Tie a bow using the Smoky Slate 1/8” Stitched Ribbon and adhere using a Glue Dot.
