Woodland Whimsy Cards

Seriously…I could live in this enchanted wonderland with adorable fox and other cute critters.

No babies here.  It’s been 20 years since my “baby” was born.  However, that is no reason at all to not HAVE to HAVE the new Woodland Whimsy Collection.

This collection is so versatile.  It is not just for babies, at all!  Such beautiful, fun-loving colors are sure to put a smile on any face.  Imagine getting a card in the mail with this refreshing collection, and the whimsical critters!Those would make anyone smile.

So, let’s create a couple of cards to send to ANY loved one.

To create these cards, you will need:

When creating cards, I love making the embellishments come to life.  In this case, I want to make that adorable little fox come to life!  How do you do that?  The more foam squares, the better. Pile them on.

  1. When you say cut to measure, how do I know what the actual measurements are? The numbers for the smaller pieces aren’t showing up for me in the instructions.

    Cute cards!!

  2. I love these cards and can’t wait to teach my card group how to make them. I did notice a discrepancy though. The “ingredients” list says Evergreen and Brown cardstocks, but the directions for the owl card says grey. Just something you might want to clear up. (The picture does look like brown cardstock thoough.)
