Use Lawn Fawns camping stamp and die sets to make this greeting card for those who love the outdoors
We bought a campervan last year to get out and explore a little more. This love of the outside can be seen in this really cute card made using some stamp and die sets by Lawn Fawn.
This card does require a few stamp and die sets to make but I can invisage how many other uses the dies will have. The tent can be a childs play tent or for those going to a gig in the forest or maybe a moving away or new house card. The forest background can be used for star gazing cards or maybe scenery for picnic cards. As crafters we have to make sure stamp and die sets are multipurpose!
It was really fun building this scene up and because you make it yourself, you can change any of the colours or characters to reflect the recipients preferences
