Hello! Along with the nautical theme, I am a big fan of the camping theme for summer cards. I used the newly-released 51-645 Campers die set from Penny Black on a CAS “Happy Trails” card that could work for variety of occasions such as a retirement or an upcoming vacation.
- The 51-567 Tree Border was die cut from Noble Fir cardstock and adhered added to the background. The border does not cut the bottom portion so the tree border can be cut to the size you want.
- I stamped the 30-841 Happy Camper sentiment on to white cardstock and cut it with one of the dies in the 51-033 Silver Linings set. I cut a second cloud with the same die.
- The camper was created with the inlay technique. I cut textured, white cardstock with the 51-645 Campers set. I cut the door out of the camper. I cut the bolt detail out of the camper, with the door in place. I cut the camper from the red cardstock. I cut the bolt from the red camper using the top portion of a guide. I cut the bolt from brushed silver cardstock. I put the pieces together and cut the door again. I backed the assembly with yellow cardstock. The camper is taped together on the back.
- I embellished with yellow accents – a butterfly (51-132 Flights of Fancy) and small flowers (51-618 Swinging).

Cute card. Great idea for retirement theme.
