Peaceful Cabin - Stampin' Blends

This is by far my favorite stamp set from the 2021 July-December Mini Catalog. I've made lots of cards with this set called Peaceful Cabin, and it's not just for Christmas cards. It makes a great masculine card for a birthday as well as many other holidays. First, I stamped the cabin image on 4" x 4" Basic White cardstock with Early Espresso ink and the very top. I colored it in with the Stampin' Blends. I stamped the pine trees with Mossy Meadow on another 4" x 4" Basic White cardstock at the very top. I had my club members make this card at our last workshop and they did a great job. I usually do any die-cutting for them, but not the stamping. In this case, they had to stamp before they could die-cut the pine trees, the cabin, and the fence.

Here are my instructions:
