I shared this card using the kit over on the Hero Arts blog this weekend:
And today I’m sharing a card using two of the add-on dies!
I just love that little camper fancy die so I started off by die-cutting it with white cardstock. Then I used copics to color it. I separated some of the pieces that pop out for easier coloring and then fit them back in. I also removed the windows and added vellum behind them. I stamped a sentiment from Camp in the Wild onto white cardstock with intense black ink and trimmed it down to a fishtail banner.
Next I blended wilted violet, shaded lilac, and spun sugar distress oxide ink over a piece of strathmore bristol cardstock. I set it with my heat gun and then die-cut the forest sunset fancy die with black cardstock and layered the ink blended panel behind it. I added my camper and sentiment with foam mounting tape and finished the card by adding a little crystal glaze to the windows.
And that’s it!

The postage stamp die cut is such a cute idea. I LOVE the scenery, too.
You rocked this lit!! Gorgeous cards.
Ms. Jess, that is the best Halloween moon EVER! A beautiful card, but I am IN LOVE with the scenic kit. We picked cattails as a child and I thank you for those memories and to Hero Arts for this beautiful set! Really hoping to win ♡♡
Great colors…beautiful cards
Wow! That moon above the camper looks so cool! Amazing job!
Beautiful cards, Jessica!
great ideas to use the stamps and dies, love the camper
LOVE that camper! It’s so so fun and vintage.
Thanks for the wonderful card using the circular die. I guess it is a moon but it could just be a little scene all on its own too.
Your cards are super Jess! My fave is the trailer with the moon as it is just up our alley to take our small trailer off the beaten path & hideaway. Beautiful blending & colours for both cards. I think this is my favourite kit so far.
Gorgeous cards from a gorgeous kit! Thanks for inspiring!
Love your ideas and that camper card is awesome! Thanks for sharing with us!!
