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.

The back row of trees was cut with the Poppystamps Pine Tree Border from black 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 Lawn Fawn 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 Lawn Fawn Blue Jay cardstock.

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card combining the Technique Tuesday Lorenzo the Llama sentiment with a die-cut llama created with the Spellbinders Hip Llama set.

I deliberately chose bright colors with the black and white to give that fiesta flavor to the card. To begin, I die-cut, embossed, and assembled the llama. Next, using a stamp positioner, I stamped the tassel string from the Lorenzo the Llama stamp set with white pigment ink on a Stampin’ Up Melon Mamba cardstock panel. I attached the pink panel to a white cardstock base. I heat-embossed the sentiment on a black cardstock strip and adhered it to the base, adding the llama with foam adhesive.
