You may not know this about me… but I love squirrels and I feed my backyard squirrel buddies every day. I used to think they were trained.. but now I know.. they have ME trained.. they come to the back sliding glass door (next to my office desk) and stand up and look for me until I come to the door with their daily treats 🙂
So there was NO doubt about it.. as soon as I saw this cute Fluffy Squirrel stamp set, I had to buy it!
I stamped the outline portion in Memento Black ink and the solid portion with Pecan Pie ink from Stampin’ Up!.
Fun Fall Background
I used the new Etched Autumn background stamp to create the fall feeling in the background of my card.
As noted above, after inking the background stamp with my full size Daffodil Delight ink pad, I randomly added ink with my two ink spots. You can get ink spots by purchasing one of the 2 spot assortments, using the spots in your kits or Paper Pumpkin kits, or, inking your own by buying uninked spots and ink refills. I just find it really helpful to use my ink spots for more control.
The Etched Autumn stamp is part of the September Online Exclusive Release (find it on page 9) – if you haven’t downloaded your copy, be sure to do that now!
Here are a few of our backyard buddies.. Jason and I love to take photos of them.
Did you know.. when it’s hot, or even just when they are tired, they “sploot”? 🙂 It’s so cute.. they do this on the deck and on the top rail of the fence.

Your pictures would make a great scrapbook page documenting your love of squirrels!
That would be very fun!! I think I’ve made a few over the years!!
So cute – bothered the squirrels and the cards! Love the colors.
Love your Squirrel Card!
When we lived up North in RI…Hubby and I also fed our squirrels! Hubby named
them all! We saw 6 generations of squirrels.
We bought unsalted roasted peanuts and feed them.
We moved South, because of our health, we couldn’t shovel snow anymore.
We now live in NC. We get snow, but it’s in the low inches, not in feet!
Now we can just let it melt away!
That is what we buy for them, too.. at Sam’s Club. And also walnuts in shells.. they love those so much. They also get a really hearty mix of nuts and seeds in feeders around the garden. 🙂
Love your squirrel card!
Love that last squirrel photo best he looks like he was brushed and posed perfectly for the
photo!
They are super cuties!!
So happy you love squirrels!!!!!! Sorry that your country is far of mine. I could sent you a few animals ….
