It was my daughter Camilla’s birthday yesterday, she was 30………how did she get to be that old! Camilla is not a really girlie girl, loves the outdoors, climbing, diving, walking etc so I made her a cute card based around these things.
To recreate Camilla’s birthday card you will need:
Crumb Cake card stock – 11” by 4⅛” – scored on the longside at 5½”
Crumb Cake card stock – 11” by 1” – scored on the longside at 2¾”, 5½” & 8¼”
In Good Taste dsp – 5¼” by 3⅞” x 4
Shaded Spruce – 4 ¾” by 3⅜” x 2
Shaded Spruce – 3⅜” by 2½” x 4
Whisper White – 4½” by 3⅛” x 2
Whisper White – 3⅛ by 2¼” x 4
Scrap Early Espresso and Gold Foil
I began by using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the 4 panels of dsp to the 4 sides of the large Crumb Cake panel. This forms the main structure of the card. I added the 2 large Shaded Spruce panels to the front and back of the card using the same glue.

I added the 1”strip of Crumb Cake card stock to the inside panels using liquid glue. The glue was only added to the 2 end pieces.
The front panel of the card was created using one of the larger panels of Whisper White and the Mountain Air stamp set. I love this set, it is so versatile. I stamped with Crumb Cake ink, Shaded Spruce ink, Mossy Meadow ink and Pool Party ink. The sky was sponged in using the Balmy Blue ink and the moon was masked using a ¾” circle punched from a Post It Note. The stamped panel was glued to one of large Shaded Spruce panels and added to the card front using the same liquid adhesive.

I took one of the smaller Whisper White and stamped the lighthouse from the Sailing Home stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. The sky was sponged in Balmy Blue and I sponged a little Crumb Cake around the base of the light house. The panel was added to one of the small Shaded Spruce panel and added to the left hand inside panel.

The 2nd Whisper White panel was stamped using the Do The Impossible stamp set which has sadly retired. I stamped the runners again onto a Post It Note, trimmed it out using sharp scissors and used it to masked off the runners. I then stamped the mountains, trees and water using the Mountain Air stamp set. The runners were coloured using using Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Ivory & Bronze Blends markers. The stamped layer was then glued to small Shaded Spruce panel then to the inside of the card.
For the 3rd panel I used the Mountain Air stamp set again, adhered the stamped panel to the Shaded Spruce panel then to the right side of the card.

The 4th and final inner panel was sponged using Balmy Blue ink. The sentiment from the Family Party stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso ink. Using the World dies I cut the globe from scrap Early Espresso card and the stand from Gold Foil and added them to the sponged base. This was adhered to the last Shaded Spruce panel and then to the card base.

The remaining large Whisper White panel was adhered to the last Shaded Spruce panel and glued to the back of the card giving somewhere to write a message.
I really hope Camilla likes her card.
