Thinking back to some serene, restful days at the lake inspired me to create a couple of cards using the Campology Stamp Set. And I love plaids and checks...oh, and coffee!! Let me give you the details for creating the cards yourself.
First up:
This card comes together pretty quickly. For the background I used one of the selections from Plaid Tidings Designers Series Papers (153527). I stamped three of the images from Campology Stamp Set (152553) in Shaded Spruce ink (147088) onto Whisper White card stock. I cut them out using Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820) and glued to the plaid DSP. This was all adhered to a Whisper White card base. For the inside of the card, another piece of the plaid DSP was glued to the bottom edge; the sentiment was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink. And all done!
Card base, whisper white (8 1/2" x 5 1/2", fold at 4 1/4"). Plaid DSP layer, 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".
Second card:
Card base is Mossy Meadow card stock, 11" x 4 1/4", folded at 5 1/2". Layer of wood grain paper from In Good Taste DSP (152494), 3" x 5 1/4" and checked paper from Heart Warming Hugs DSP (153492), 5 1/4" x 1". Overlap the wood grain & checks just slightly (approx. 1/8") and glue together. Then glue to card base.
I stamped the image of the coffee pot & mug from Campology stamp set in Basic Gray ink (149165) onto Whisper White CS. The sentiments are from Nothing's Better Than stamp set (152507). Using Mossy Meadow ink, I stamped the sentiment just above the coffee pot and cut around all the images using an oval from Stitched Shapes Dies (152323). I stamped "Coffee" on a scrap of white card stock, also in Mossy Meadow ink. Using Stitched Shapes Ovals I cut a larger oval in Mossy Meadow card stock. I glued the two layered ovals together. I glued the end of the Coffee to the front of ovals, then used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere it all to the card front.
Inside, a strip of the checked DSP, and sentiment from Campology.
A variation of this card: I colored in the coffee pot & mug using Stampin' Blends, Granny Apple Green.
