- card from Daffodil Delight Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Balmy Blue Cardstock
- 2" x 3" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 2-3/4" from Daffodil Delight Cardstock
- 3/4" x 1-1/2" from Basic Gray Cardstock
- 3" square from Old Olive Cardstock
- 3" square from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 2-7/8" square from Adhesive Sheets
- 2-1/2" square from Daffodil Delight Cardstock
- 3/4" x 2-3/4" from Balmy Blue Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 4-1/4" from Soft Suede Cardstock
- 1" x 2-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 7/8" x 2-1/8" from Adhesive Sheets
Use your fingers to tear the Soft Suede strip in half lengthwise.
Adhere one of the torn halves of the Soft Suede strip to the bottom of the large, vertical Balmy Blue rectangle. Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim off excess Soft Suede cardstock along the bottom, left, and right edges.
Adhere the Balmy Blue rectangle with Soft Suede attached at the bottom to the front of the Daffodil Delight card.
Pick out the camper die from the Tree Lot Dies. Put it on top of the 2" x 3" white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed. Leave the die out.
Put the camper die on top of the small Basic Gray rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so you cut out the tire. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off the tire on the bottom of the white camper cut out.
Adhere the white camper over the top of the Basic Gray tire.
Pick out the combined camper top and siding die from the Tree Lot Dies. Put it on top of the small Daffodil Delight strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the yellow camper top piece die cut to the top of the white camper cut out and the yellow camper siding piece die cut to the bottom of the white camper cut out.
Peel the protective backing off of the 7/8" x 2-1/8" Adhesive Sheets. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the 1" x 2-1/4" white strip. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the pennant banner die from the Tree Lot Dies. Put it on top of the white strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the NON-ADHESIVE side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Make sure you leave the protective backing in place.
Put the pennants banner cut out CARDSTOCK side up on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. Use the brush tips of the Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Balmy Blue Stampin' Write Markers to individually color the pennants as shown.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the colored pennant banners cut out. Adhere it to the front of the layered camper cut out as shown.
Pick out the open large, medium, and small tree dies from the Tree Lot Dies. Put them all on top of the Old Olive square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the large Adhesive Sheets square. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets square to one side of the Pear Pizzazz square. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the detailed large, medium, and small tree dies from the Tree Lot Dies. Put them on top of the Pear Pizzazz square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Pear Pizzazz (green) side is face up. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool and die brush tip on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
One at a time, carefully remove the protective backings from the detailed tree cut outs. Adhere them to the matching solid tree cut outs.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the layered camper cut out to the front of the card on the bottom left side.
Adhere the layered large tree cut out to the front of the card so it is tucked behind the camper on the left side and only tree shows through the camper window.
Adhere the layered medium tree cut out to the front of the card so the left side of it is tucked under the front of the camper cut out and the bottom overlaps the top of the torn Soft Suede strip.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the small, layered tree cut out to the front of the card on the right side so it overlaps the right side of the medium tree cut out a bit and the top of the torn Soft Suede strip.
Now, use Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered camper cut out in place as shown.
Pick out the largest cloud die from the Give It A Whirl Dies. Put it on top of the remaining white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Adhere the cloud cut out to the front of the card on the left side about 3/4" from the top side and about 1/2" from the left side.
Mount the "together for the long haul" image from the He's All That Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Crushed Curry Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Daffodil Delight square.
Pick out the scalloped edge circle die from the All That Dies. Put it on top of the stamped Daffodil Delight square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Unlock the Banners Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the Balmy Blue strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the inward notch) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat on the other end.
As you are ready to stamp using the Flowering Tulips Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "love you so much" sentiment from the Flowering Tulips Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Balmy Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the punched Balmy Blue banner.
Adhere the "love you" banner to the center of the "Together for the long haul" sentiment circle cut out so it covers the van with the surfboard on top.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered sentiment circle cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the right side of the cloud cut out.
