today is may release day over at taylored expressions - all of the new products we've been sharing sneak peeks of this week are now available in the te shop.
today i am sharing two camping themed projects - up first is this paper pieced bear floating down the river in a canoe. he comes from the previously released happy trails stamp set & new this month are the two coordinating die sets. i paper pieced the stamped images onto the coordinating patterned paper die cuts - using patterned paper instead of white cardstock gives the images a bit more dimension. the little happy camper sign & sentiment are also from the stamp set & his canoe - it is from the new build a scene - lakeside die set.
i built the outdoor scene around him using the build a scene - mountain tops die set & embossed the die cuts with the new know the ropes embossing folder. also new is the lakeside border die & the little clouds - which are actually meant to be part of a tree - are also from the build a scene - lakeside die set. oh, & the little fishies from the little bits - fishing boat are sized perfectly for this scene.
to create my 'happy camper' card i used the following supplies available in the te shop:
up next is a mini quilt i created with the new on the road - camper die set & the previously released build a scene - trees die set. the quilt is about the size of an a2 card & i added the tabs at the top so i could hang it from a little tree branch.
to create the trailer & tree applique i applied lite steam-a-seam 2 to the back of the fabric scraps before die cutting the pieces as usual. then i positioned the pieces onto the mini quilt and heat set them with an iron. i used coordinating thread colors to stitch around then raw edges & added the button for the wheel.
to create my 'camper mini quilt' i used the following supplies available in the te shop:

Your card is sooo cute with the embossed hills and the water with all the little fish, Courtney!! I love your fabric wall hanging, too...such a super clever idea!!!
