The Adventure Begins – a Die-Cut Camping Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a camping scene in which I have combined the Spellbinders Camping die set with a sentiment in the Hero Arts The Adventure Begins stamp set. With warmer weather here in the PNW, my thoughts turn to outside adventures.

To create the sky, I inked white cardstock with Distress Oxide inks in Fossilized Amber and Blueprint Sketch. I then added Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink to darken the sky (this color is not yet available in Distress Oxide; I sure hope it will be at some point).

The back row of trees was cut with the Poppystamps Pine Tree Border from Black Licorice cardstock. The tent was cut from Chili Pepper cardstock and Taylored Expressions Earl Grey cardstock. I trimmed away the tent portion of the piece I cut from the gray cardstock. I cut the ground (using the MFT Snow Drifts die set) and the trees (included in the Spellbinders Camping die set) from Noble Fir cardstock. I cut the lantern from TE Silver Foil Cardstock and added a tiny circle cut from TE Potato Chip cardstock.

The sentiment was stamped on a panel of Taylored Expressions Toffee cardstock from which I cut the circle in the center to create a frame. The card base was created with Blue Jay cardstock.

  1. Wow–I’ve seen the dies and said, “Meh” but then seeing what you did with them–WOW! I have outdoorsy friends and family for whom this card would be perfect!
