One More Pop up ~ the tent with stamps!

Hi guys!

I have one more Pop up card created and embellished with stamps.

My inspiration was to create a card to persuade a person to

 go camping.  To make the card inviting with fall leaves, a big pile of them, so

 they can be jumped in.

This is the front of the card~simple, no big deal.

The inside ~

The tent is placed in a bed of leaves.  Extra leaves have fallen on the tent and ground.

The quote is explaining "say yes (to camping).

The tent looks hard to construct but it isn't at all.

The Tent Pop up die is by Karen Burniston and she has a video on how

 to put the tent together.  

Product used:

Darkroom Door : Fallen Leaves/BG, Say Yes/Quote stamp, Carved Leaves and

 Whimsical Words.

Karen Burniston: Tent Pop up die

Paper: Little Yellow Bicycle

Ink: Ranger

Buttons Galore & More

stickers

X-Press It tape

Mini Clipboard with Clear Scraps~

Hi, Connie here with a cute and simple mini Vintage Clipboard, by Clear Scraps, that is perfect to showcase that one special photo.  Let me show you~


Pattern paper was attached to the back of the clipboard, after the protective film was removed from both front and back of the clipboard.  Layer coordinating papers on the front, with die cuts and things of interest.  Chipboard stickers look great and add dimension to the project.


The chipboard word " Road Trip" by Clear Scraps was inked and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The word "Road Trip" was attached, under the photo, on the front of the clipboard with strong glue.


The clipboard is acrylic and very light weight, so displaying it on a small easel worked perfect.  Twine was added to the top clip for added color.  Already to give to my grandson!

Products used:
Clear Scraps: Mini Vintage Clipboard
Clear Scraps: Chipboard script word "Road Trip"
Beacon
other: pattern paper (to layer on front of clipboard), chipboard stickers, ink for shading, twine, embossing powder and ink.
