Tree Lot for As You See It Challenge #288

The As You See It Challenge this week is a Theme Challenge and the theme is Vacation Activities. That's easy and hard for me: Easy because we most often camp when we go on vacation; hard because I needed to use lot of retired products to complete my sample card for the challenge. Here's the challenge banner:

When we vacation we have a 24' foot travel trailer that lets us go to many places and set up home wherever we travel. I love it. So far, because of Covid travel restrictions, we haven't been out of our home province, but hopefully that will soon change.

We've always loved camping. It's gets you out in the fresh air and the woods and you meet new people and experience nature. We'll probably continue as long as we're physically able to do so.

Here's my card:

• On a card base of Soft Succulent cardstock, I layered a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of the now retired New Horizons DSP.
• Using the retired Tree Lot Dies I die cut three trees from Evening Evergreen and Mint Macaron, with the Mint Macaron backed with adhesive sheets so they stick like stickers to the larger backing pieces. 
• The main trailer piece is die cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock with accents die cut from adhesive-backed Silver Foil Sheets and Basic Black cardstock.
• The sentiment is from the Campology stamp set (still available) and is backed with a Crumb Cake tree ring die cut using the Tree Ring dies (also still available). A bow from linen thread is added.

A quick and easy card to make, but lots of fun, too!

Thank You Cards Using Heron Habitat Bundle

 I've been dying to play with this bundle since I saw it in the new Annual Catalogue. The Heron Habitat bundle is so beautiful! And I imagined it would look so great with the New Horizons 6" x 6" DSP as well.

Then I visited a lake-side community on the weekend and one of the houses had some outdoor decor featuring a couple of heron with both metallic and coloured grasses, and I immediately thought about using that idea on a card! And so these Thank you cards for my customers are the result. 

I should note that along with the New Horizons DSP, I also used a sheet of the Texture Chic Specialty DSP. Here are some of the individual designs:

This one features the standing heron, stamped in Basic Gray, and coloured in a bit with the light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends marker. The grasses behind are die cut from the Brushed Metallic cardstock in copper. The bullrush in front was stamped using the Stampin' Write markers in Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede to colour the stamp itself, and die cut using the Heron Dies, as was the heron.

The sentiment is from the same Heron Habitat stamp set and is die cut with a label from the Heron dies. The sentiment, bulrushes and heron are all mounted using Stampin' Dimensionals or Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

The only difference with this one is the background and the flying heron.

The difference here is the background DSP. It is the Texture Chic Specialty DSP.

This one uses scraps of leftovers from the sheet of DSP from Texture Chic. One is the front side and the other is the backside of the sheet.

Since the new July/Dec Mini Catalogue will be coming out in...you guessed it...July, the Jan/Jun Mini Catalogue will be retiring at the end of this month. As Stampin' Up! likes to do, some of the products from the Jan/June Mini are retiring along with it, and bringing you some great savings at the same time! Check out this list of retiring products and see if you can find a product you wanted on sale:
