This card was made for Craft Roulette #208 whose parameters included a joy-fold card, buggy ride colors, sticks and stones element and trim(s) or trimming(s).

For this joy-fold card I used the colors of a buggy ride to the lake to go camping with a fishing stick and campfire stones. The lake is made of blue rick-rack trim on acetate. All dies used are by Karen Burniston.

Cardbase: A joy-fold is basically a smaller card that interleaves with a larger card. My smaller card is an oval cut from acetate and sandwiched between some kraft splattered cardstock with the cardstock folded and glued into the larger purchased 5×7 cardbase. The larger cardbase had its front panel trimmed to 4-inches wide. The larger cardbase was covered with green grass paper inside (covering over the kraft cardstock) and its front panel covered with blue dotted paper.

Lake: The front of the oval acetate flap was covered with rick-rack using double-sided tape. A kraft cardstock tab was added to make it easier to open the velco fastener that keeps the card close and the bam boxes from popping open. The tab is stamped with “Lift the flap.” The sentiment of “Hello nature” is cut using the Word Set 6 – Summer set.

Tent: Watch the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page. The tent pop-up can be made with out the cording, but I chose to add the cording using tiny brads on another layer of grass green cardstock to attach it.

Animals: The racoon and fox are made with the Woodland Animals die set. They are glued to small bam boxes to make them pop-up. The fish are from the Camping Charms set and are colored with pink and mint green glitter brush markers. The fishing stick is also in the Camping Charms set.

Campfire: The pop-up campfire is made up of five dies that form the campfire pit and burning logs. It is part of the Tent Pop-Up set.
