Yet another camp card and the camper!

This is the card I made for the BFF's sister. Again, this is a CASE of Dawn McVey's Summer Camp card. I love how cute these turned out and will use this design idea again and again, I'm sure.
All supplies PTI: Cardstock: Fine Linen, Ripe Avocado, Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate; Patterned Paper: Pacific Vineyards; Stamps: Summer Camp; Dies: Limitless Layers 1.75" Circles, Half & Half; Ink: Fine Linen, Dark Chocolate;
Other: WRMK Corner Chomper; I handcut the double-ended tag and the label

This card fits A's personality. She is not a girly-girl so pink is out of the question. Had it been camo, it would've been even better!

And here's Elizabeth as I dropped her off at camp. So excited about the week!
Tent, Sweet Tent! This is her home for a week. She is in a platform tent with three other girls - two from her troop (her BFF and the BFF's sister). Looking forward to making jewelry for a week!  Her hair is wet because she'd just finished her swim test. She's a red hat (lowest level) and will have Red Cross certified swim lessons while at camp. We miss her already!

Another card for camp

I had one last card to do for Elizabeth for camp and I finished it up last night.  My PTI order came on Monday and I've been anxious to use all the sets I purchased. I was able to use the new Summer Camp set on Elizabeth's card. I decided I'd CASE Dawn McVey's card from the PTI team group post. I knew E would love something like this.  I chose to go with Raspberry Fizz, Aqua Mist and Smokey Shadow. I eliminated the Wine Tag layer...partially due to exhaustion (it's midnight, I need to get this done so I can go to bed) and laziness (don't have the wine tag die and didn't feel like cutting...I know, super lazy there, Gina).

All supplies PTI unless otherwise stated.  Paper: Stamps: Summer Camp; Cardstock (Stamper's Select White, Aqua Mist, Smokey Shadow) Patterned Paper (Raspberry Fizz Pattern Pack); Ink: Aqua Mist, Smokey Shadow, Raspberry Fizz; Versamark by Tsukineko; Other: Dies (Half & Half; Limitless Layers 1.75") Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers)
I'm hoping she enjoys the cards she'll get while she's at camp. I think she will...especially since I've managed to keep most of them a secret from her!

Cards for Camp

Two of my girls are going to Girl Scout camp soon and they'll each be gone for a week. While they're at camp, they will have "mail call" each day and so I decided to make cards for them. Nichole Heady posted her sketch inspiration Make It Monday just in time. I used several of the sketches for cards, but only took photos of one because I've had too much going this week to break out everything to take pictures (work has been insane!)

This card is based on sketch #2:




And here is the card that I'll send to Elizabeth. She loves Raspberry Fizz, so her card is done in that color:

Since I already had everything out, I went ahead and made cards for both of them and a few for their friends who were attending. Elizabeth's BFF will be at the same camp she is and I thought it would be fun to surprise her with a note during mail call.  I've been anxious to use the Blueberry Sky and Harvest Gold inks I got in a recent order. I looked through my Pinterest and found a card by Danielle Flanders to use as inspiration. I made two of these cards - one for Elizabeth and one for her BFF:
I still have a couple of cards to make (one more for Elizabeth, one for the BFF's sister who will be there the same week) but I think I'm going to hold off on those until next week...I have a PTI order that should arrive Tuesday.
