Oh man! I'm getting so behind! I'm not getting to use sets until they are on the Last Chance list! I've got to do better! You see, we have a Theme Challenge this week and the theme, decided on by clever team mate, Heather H. is Picnics! I was so stumped by this one! I couldn't think of any picnic sets I had. But then I remembered my latest order from the Online Exclusives and it was some DSP and stickers called Weekend Adventures and with the checkered pattern and outdoors motif, I thought it would be a start. And the stickers had a sweet little mug that would work! Then I remembered a stamp bundle called Adventure Together, that I had loved, because we enjoy RVing. The trouble is, it's already on the Last Chance list and I hadn't touched it yet! Well, better late than never! Here's the Challenge Banner:
Take a closer look at how it all worked out:
- On a Crumb Cake card base, I added a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of the Weekend Adventures DSP in Old Olive shades, then added the Cajun Craze checked pattern die cut with the largest Stylish Shape square die.
- I trimmed the Cajun Craze mug sticker from the Weekend Adventures sticker sheet and added it as shown on the checkered "rug" and removed the round sticker, as shown, and added it to the card front.
- From the Adventure Together bundle, I stamped the trailer, and the largest tree, coloured and die cut them and added them to the card front, the tree with glue dots, and the trailer with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Finally, from the More Than Autumn Bundle, I stamped three of the apples, coloured them and die cut them, also adding them to the card front; two of the apples with glue dots and the front one with a Stampin' Dimensional.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one stumped by a picnic challenge! I like your inventive solutions, although the products you had were certainly camping/al fresco in feel. I like that mug and rug - they put me in mind of the Girl Guide camps of my youth. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to put those "last chance" items to good use! I love the woodsy feel to your card!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you created your fun picnic scene Heather - a great way to break out those new-to-you products at last!!
