I am loving the new Fresh Air paper collection. It has some truly beautiful patterns. I think you could use it for more than outdoors theme.
I love this card sketch, in case you haven't noticed. It is from our MIFYH Volume 3 book. It worked well with my stamped images. I only had to fussy cut the camper. By then, I was feeling a bit cross-eyed at the thought of fussy cutting. LOL
Of course, you could totally stamp it right to the paper, but I wanted it to have a 3-d feel. I added some black brads from my stash. I love mixing the old with the new.
These will serve as thank you cards for my son's upcoming birthday party. So pleased with how it turned out.
Have a great day.

Campfire Birthday Invitation
Today, my boy comes home from his first "summer camp" trip. His class field trip took him to a local summer camp for 3 days and 2 nights. I was lucky enough to go to the same place at his age. I am super excited to hear how it went.
My children are 23 months apart almost to the day in age. So, as soon as I finished working on my daughter's party projects, it was time to come up with a plan for my son's birthday. I used a similar design to the last invitation I shared. Hey, it works!
Again, I found inspiration on Pinterest with a digital invitation file. But, if they can create it digitally, chances are I can find stamps to do it myself. The original had a tent, a campfire, and some trees. I added that cute bear and camper.
I used my Flower Market cricut cartridge to create my trees. Note: When cutting something that intricate, you may want a fairly new cricut mat. I threw away several trees that had to be scrapped because they didn't cut correctly. I used the retired Camper Crazy stamp set and the retired Beary Best stamp set and had fun coloring and fussy cutting. My husband thought I was crazy. Thank goodness I only had to make 10. LOL
What do you think? I've gotten so many compliments on them. We're pretty excited to celebrate the boy's birthday next month.
Have a great day.
