Spellbinders | Camper Life Winter Birthday

Hello! I am sharing a winter birthday card featuring the incredibly versatile Camper Life die set, part of the Warm Wishes Camper Collection at Spellbinders. Check out all the new collections here. I used the Camper Life die set on a Halloween card and a holiday card. Scroll for details about the Spellbinders  Back to School Sale that runs until August 28, 2022, 11:59 PST.

  • I created the background snow by applying Deco Foil Blanco Transfer Gel through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on to Cosmic Sky cardstock. In order to cover the entire background (the card is 5 inches wide by 7 inches tall) I stenciled twice. Once dry, I added the panel to a card base.
  • With the Camper Life die set, I cut the camper and snowbank from Snowdrift, LagoonPhone Booth, Timber, Beeswax, white glitter, and silver foil cardstock.
  • I heat-embossed the Sweet & Savory sentiment on Lagoon cardstock and cut it with a Spellbinders banner die.
  • I added the camper assembly, snowbank, and sentiment to the card background.

For the hop, I created a die-cut, mini-slimline, birthday card with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Stitched for You” and Embossing Folder Kit Club “Faux Stitch.”

Spellbinders | May 2022 Club Inspiration Blog Hop

  • Dry-emboss sky with Embossing Folder Kit Club “Faux Stitch.” Attach gray cardstock ground to the sky panel (I put the debossed side up) and add assembly to mini-slimline card base.
  • Cut Open Road car and balloons. Assemble car. Glue strings to balloons. Once dry, loop strings through the piece on the car.
  • Cut sentiment with dies in the Large Die of the Month kit “Stitched for You” from Onyx cardstock. To precisely place the letters on the card, I cut the sentiment mats (separate dies) with the letters in place as guides. Given the mini-slimline size, I did not have enough room to include the sentiment mats on the card.
  • Embellish with Silver Mix Gems.
