I just love taking seasonal cards and changing them up. A color switch, some added elements and you have a brand new card to give to that special someone. I took the Maple Forest Card from the September Scenes Stand-Up Cards SVG Kit and gave it a delightful summer twist.

Instructions
- For the hole in the tree create a 0.623 x 0.888 (uncheck keep proportions) oval using a circle from basic shapes. Place the oval over the medium_brown.svg, (tree) select both, go to path and do a back minus front or join.
- Make another copy of the red.svg, (leaves), I used ten total.
- Make a copy of the sitting.svg, (bunny) and change its appearance to blackout.
- Cut all your pieces out.
- Assemble the owl first, he has to go in between the layers of the tree peeking out of the hole that was created.
- Follow the directions that came with the card to assemble. I didn’t use all the pieces but you surely can.
- Assemble the deer and bunny and glue to card.
- Stamp any sentiment that will fit inside.
- I cut the flowers in two sizes and placed around the card in the desired spots.
- Do the same with the leaves.
- Put gems on butterfly and attach to front.
Design Tips
- Emboss both tree layers, it will make them stand out a little more.
- Ink all or some of your edges, this will really make them pop.
- When dealing with small pieces I cut them on white cardstock and color them with markers. I use ProMarkers, they blend quite nicely and I love how the pieces look.
- I also use markers to add dimension. You can see in this card how I used them on the owl, trees and flowers.
I hope you get a chance to create my Forest Friends or go through your seasonal cards and projects and see how you can change them up!! -Brigit
