Stampin’ Up! Glamper Adventure for the Last Blast of Summer Blog hop

Mornin’, y’all – welcome to another Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop. We’re doing a Theme Hop and today celebrates the Last Blast of Summer! I know that all of us have a different idea about the right way to celebrate the end of summer, so I hope you’ll take the time to check them all out when you’re done here! 🙂

For me – I decided to use two new stamp sets in the 2016 Holiday Catalog.  Glamper Greetings and Mountain Adventure go together like beef tips and rice!  Here’s what they look like:

Glamper Greetings struck a cord with me when I saw it – my husband and I have long talked of buying an RV and exploring this great country.  May not be in the cards for a bit while we’ve still got the horse-kids with us – I’m not a fan of leaving them with people to watch.  But, when the time comes, mayhaps we’ll take the plunge.  There’ll be some discussion though – motorhome or 5th wheel?  Wayne’s a motorhome advocate, I prefer a 5th wheel.  More room for my card making – and that’s a non-negotiable piece! 😉

I combined the two stamp sets to create a little mountain lake-side scene that might look just like a spot we’d end up one day.  Take a look-see:

I started with a plain Whisper White panel and stamped the mountain image from Mountain Adventure in Crumb Cake Ink.  It’s not quite as wide as my panel is, so I used my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker to extend it to the edge on both sides.  There are three sizes of fir trees in the Mountain Adventure set – large, medium and small – so I used all of them to create a forest in the mid-ground of my scene.  I used Always Artichoke (really missing my Mossy Meadow for this one!) and with the medium and small trees, I would stamp twice without re-inking – instant distance!

Since this is a mountain lake-side campspot, I made a lake with my Pool Party Stampin’ Write Marker.  Then I used that Crumb Cake maker again to make some “ground” marks under each of the trees.  To finish my meadow, I used the grasses image from Glamper Greetings and scattered it all over in Garden Green ink – sometimes stamping a second time without re-inking.

Then I built my RV!  I stamped the outline image in Pacific Point ink on Whisper White.  For the detail image – the horizontal lines and the lattice work – I used Pacific Point that I stamped off once.  Then I decorated it with a Crumb Cake pie in the window – and colored the pie plate Real Red (who the heck makes a pie in a trailer on vacation?!?).  I added a couple of light strands – stamped in Basic Black Archival Ink and colored in Daffodil Delight.  And the garland under the window is stamped in Flirty Flamingo.

I quickly fussy cut the trailer and got ready to park it in my scene.  But, every trailer-house worth the name has a flamingo!  So – I stamped the flamingo in Flirty Flamingo (was there any doubt!?) on the card front and again on a scrap piece of Whisper White.  I filled the bodies in with Pink Pirouette and then fussy cut just the body of the second flamingo and used Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to stick him to my trailer.  I popped the trailer on with Stampin’ Dimensionals – making sure that the legs of the flamingo I’d stamped on the card front were visible and right under the flamingo on the trailer.

To finish off my pastoral scene, I added Pear Pizzazz flowers – colored with my Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Write Marker.  A Daffodil Delight sun – from Glamper Greetings – and the nice little JRR Tolkien sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink were the final touches.  I SNAILd it to a Flirty Flamingo mat and the card front was done!

On the inside, I started with another Whisper White panel and stamped Glamper Greetings grasses in Garden Green and more Pear Pizzazz/Flirty Flamingo flowers.  I added a second sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink – and one more Flirty Flamingo Flamingo!

I matted it on Flirty Flamingo and SNAILd it into a Dapper Denim card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

The Whisper White Medium Envelope was quick and easy.  I just added more grass and flowers and one Flirty Flamingo on the front…

…and gave the envelope flap the same treatment!

Et Voila!  I think this would be a nice way to end a summer, don’t you?  Well – maybe not in this particular trailer….if you know me you know I’ve got champagne taste – so my trailer will be about….three times longer and bigger!  Wait – this one would work as my craft-room trailer! 🙂  Anywho – this could be a retirement card, a friendship card, a “boy, do we need a vacation!” card!  Hope you like.

Be sure to consider Glamper Greetings and Mountain Adventure when the catalog goes live on 1 Sept!  That’s just around the corner, y’all! 🙂
