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. 

So, let's get started with some details of how I created my card. 

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. 

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. 

And that's it for me for this week. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new die. If you are a trailer owner or you know people with trailers this die is for you. You can pick it up for 30% off right now. 

See you next Saturday!!
