Camping Snowman

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

Can you believe I am posting 3 days in a row? My intent is always to post at least 4x a week but then life gets in the way, and it doesn't happen (lol). But now that my hubby's garden is done for the year I have a bit more time to myself. So hopefully I will be on here with my card creations.

Today, I am featuring the new Camping Snowman w/Trailer and the Tis The Season dies. I have friends who have a camping trailer, and this card would be perfect for them. I loved the trailer colors on the die packaging, but their trailer is light & dark gray. Since I was creating this card for them, I thought I should stick with those colors. Although I really like creating Christmas cards in non-traditional colors. That will be for another day.

Card Details:  

I started by cutting the trailer, snowman and mailbox in different colors of cardstock. The light that are strung across the trailer I colored with Copic markers.

Then as I was deciding on how to create the background panel for my images, I remembered this designer paper with a winter snow scene. That made it really easy. The paper is so pretty I didn't want to cut a lot of it away, so I made my card a 5 3/4" square. The paper is from the Stampin' Up "feels like frost" collection. 

White card base: 5 3/4" square
Designer Paper Layer: 5 3/4" square 

Next, I cut the Tis the Season sentiment. I thought red would be a standout, but it just didn't look right so I decided on a navy blue to compliment the background. I think it works nicely.

Now that my card elements are prepared, I am ready to start card assembly.

I attached the designer paper to the card base with double sided tape first. I thought this would make it easier to attach the images.  

For the images I used dimensional adhesive to lift them off the background slightly.

To finish off the card I secured the "tis the season" sentiment with clear drying glue. There are snowflakes with this die, so I used them as embellishments on the card.

That's it for me for this post so until next time......God bless.
