Try it Now – Cute Autumnal Birthday Card – Fluffy Squirrel. – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Looking for a fun and seasonal way to celebrate a birthday? This cute autumnal birthday card featuring the Fluffy Squirrel Stamp Set is perfect! With its sweet woodland theme and warm colours, it’s sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Fluffy Squirrel Stamp Set and Punch
The star of this project is the Fluffy Squirrel Stamp Set with its coordinating punch. This is a two-step stamp set which means you first stamp the outline of the squirrel and then add colour and detail with the second stamp. It’s quick, easy, and gives such a lovely finished look.
For my card, I stamped the squirrel and then used the punch to cut it out perfectly. I also added a little tree stump which I fussy cut to complete the woodland scene.
Background Papers – Thoughtful Journey and Beautiful Bokeh
To create the soft, autumnal backdrop, I used the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper for the scene behind the squirrel. I love how it gives a watercoloured look without needing to paint it yourself.
For the card base background, I layered in the Beautiful Bokeh Paper, which adds texture and depth. Together, these papers give the card a dreamy, woodland feel—ideal for autumn birthdays.

Measurements
- Balmy Blue / Blackberry Bliss Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
- Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm
- Beautiful Bokeh designer series paper (DSP) – 14.35cm X 10cm
- Thoughtful Journey DSP – 14.35cm X 7.5cm
Finishing Touches
The sentiment “Go Nuts! It’s your birthday” works perfectly with the playful squirrel. I added a few embellishments for a touch of sparkle, keeping the design simple but eye-catching.
This card is a great way to use autumn colours and stamp sets that work well for both men’s and women’s birthdays. The squirrel brings fun, the background brings warmth, and the finished card is both seasonal and versatile.
