Snow Camping - a customised Birthday card.

Can you believe that anyone is crazy enough to go camping, in a tent, in the snow? Well, my youngest has done this now for the last two years, so after I saw the first years's photos, I knew I had to pull an old die set out of my 'favourites' drawer. He insists they are toasty warm in their Zero 10 degrees sleeping bags, but I really don't know!

Greatest Journey, with the tent, snow and silhouetted figure was one of those bundles that a mum & gran of boys couldn't part with when it retired. It also has a bike rider which I used for a grandson when it was current. You can check that card out here.

The sentiment is another more recently retired die called Wanted To Say. I wonder if you have stamps or dies that you just can't part with.



 Upcycled card backing from DSP packs is a wonderful medium for ink blending, having a bit of shine to it. The moon was created by punching a circle from a post-it-note sticky part and masking off the area.

I always add adhesive sheet to fiddly pieces like these before I die cut and it makes for a much cleaner crafting experience. You can find it in the die cutting section of the online store but click on adhesive sheet and it will take you there. It is a little pricey but a little goes a long way, and since I've been very frugal about the rest of the supplies its a well-deserved luxury.
