Happy Trails

Hi friends! A big Happy Tuesday to you! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the super cute Ham Camper stamps and dies, Ham Camper Winter stamps and a sentiment from the Santa Koala & Mrs. Claus stamp set. I’ve been on a huge fun fold kick lately and created an adorable Christmas camper diorama card for our ‘Christmas in July’ showcase! I guess maybe I should say I’m still on a huge fun fold kick, lol, as I can’t get enough of ’em!

I cut the diorama card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Keep It Simple Jade 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the front sentiment from the Santa Koala & Mrs. Claus stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added a sweet bow created with the Impression Obsession Small Bow die which I embellished with a single clear iridescent gemstone.

I stamped the camper for the inside from the Ham Camper stamps and Ham Camper Winter stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cougar White cardstock. I paper pieced some of the elements and colored the others with Sharpie ultra fine point markers and alcohol markers, and cut it with the coordinating Ham Camper dies. I adhered Eyelet Outlet Snow Tree brads prior to adhering the camper into the aperture with foam strips. I added several small clear iridescent gemstones and a sentiment stamped in black ink and cut with a die from the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Dies.
