How fun is this handmade card for campers?
People who love to camp LOVE to camp! It truly is a whole lifestyle and I think this handmade card for campers would be such an awesome way to let them know how much you get that they love this outdoor experience. While there are so many fabulous details on this card, they are all thanks to the Camping Tent, Camp Fire, Camping Items, Evergreen Trees and Grass dies plus that cute background from the Off The Grid 6″ x 6″ Paper Pad all from Rubbernecker. As many fun little pieces as there are, this card comes together faster than it looks – let me show you the details.
Card Base and Grass
- Use white cardstock to cut an A2 sized card base.
- Use teal cardstock to cut a 5.50″ x 4.25″ layer and Off the Grid 6″ x 6″ Paper Pad to cut a 5.25″ x 4.00″ layer.
- Apply ATG adhesive to the teal layer and attach it to the card base. Pro Tip: I most always use white cardstock for the card base for stamping sentiments and layer colored cardstock for the front base.
- Attach the designer paper layer to the card base using ATG adhesive.
- Use green cardstock to cut two Grass sections.
- Attach the back grass layer directly to the card base using ATG adhesive.
- Apply a strips of mounting tape to the front grass layer and attach it to the card base.
Camping Tent and Trees
- Use green cardstock to cut the Ever Green Trees and run them through the straight crimper to add dimension.
- Tuck them in behind the back grass section and attach using strips of mounting tape.
- Cut the tent sections using teal, orange and gray cardstock.
- Use rolled up double stick tape to attach the tent roof to the tent base.
- Attach the tent flaps to the inside tent opening section using glossy accents.
- Apply a piece of mounting tape to the outer edge of the tent flaps and glossy accents to the tent opening piece and attach the the whole front section to the tent base.
- Tuck the tent in behind the front grass section and attach it to the card base using a piece of mounting tape.
Die Cut Camping Accessories
- Cut the Camping Items lantern using vellum, teal and orange cardstock, attach the pieces together using glossy accents and attach the completed lantern to the tent using glossy accents for the handle and a small piece of mounting tape for the bottom.
- Use teal, orange and light brown cardstock to cut the Camp Fire sections.
- Attach the camping bench sections together using glossy accents, apply a piece of mounting tape to the back of the bench and attach it to the back grass layer.
- Run the camp fire logs through the crimper to add dimension and attach them together using glossy accents.
- Attach the two fire flame sections to the logs using glossy accents.
- Apply yellow stickles to the flames to add sparkle.
Here are the things I used to make today’s card for friends who love to camp. Note that the Off The Grid Paper Pad has LOTS of designs that will work with this card layout so if you want to make a stack of these, you will be able to just cut, assemble, arrange and have a whole bunch of cards to share!
