A Handmade Camping Card

If you or anyone you know loves to go camping, this handmade camping card is a cute way to celebrate that passion. And it was SUPER easy using the new camping dies from the latest batch of papercrafting dies from Rubbernecker!  For this fun card I used the Camping Tent, Camp Fire Set, Camping Items, Cooler, Winter Tree, Spring Leaves, Leaf Group, Grass and Birds.

Card Base and Grass

• Cut an A2 sized white card base and a 4.00″ x 5.25″ piece of white cardstock.
• Use a blender brush, cloud template and Beachside ink to apply a cloudy blue background on the white piece of cardstock.
• Apply ATG adhesive to the back of the cloud layer and attach it to the card base.
• Cut two grass sections using green cardstock.
• Attach the back grass section to the card base using ATG adhesive.
• Apply a strip of mounting tape to the back of the front grass layer and attach it to the card base.

The Tree

• Cut the tree using Kraft cardstock and the leaves using green cardstock.
• Apply Antique Linen ink to the tree by swiping the pad directly over the cardstock.
• Form the leaves using the molding pad and leaf tool.
• Attach the leaves to the tree branches using using glossy accents.
• Tuck the trees in behind the grass layers and attach using rolled up strips of double stick tape and rolled up glue dots.

Camping Images

• Use teal, yellow and white cardstock to cut the tent sections and attach them together using strips of rolled up double stick tape and glossy accents.
• Use red, black and white cardstock to cut the cooler and assemble the pieces using glossy accents.
• Cut the campfire using yellow cardstock and the stones around the fire using gray cardstock.
• Apply yellow stickles to the fire and set it aside to dry.
• Use teal and gray cardstock to cut the campfire stools and attach the sections together using glossy accents.
• Use dark blue cardstock to cut all the cooking items and lantern and apply white dots over them using a white gel pen.  Note:  I wanted the coffee pot, cups and pan to look like the old-fashioned granite ware.
• Cut the birds using red cardstock and the globe of the lantern using white vellum.

Complete the Camping Scene

• Tuck the tent in behind the back grass layer and attach to the card base using mounting tape.
• Apply mounting tape to the back of the cooler and tuck it in behind the front grass layer.
• Insert the campfire and stools in behind the front grass section and attach using small pieces of mounting tape.
• Attach the cooking items to the grass area and attach using glossy accents.
• Attach the lantern to the peak of the tent using small pieces of mounting tape.
• Finish the scene by attaching birds to the scene using small pieces of mounting tape.
