I had so much fun making this card today! I followed this tutorial for a tent card: Tent Card Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
The recipient, Susan, loves camping, but I don't have any related stamps, so I went with a tree DSP, a stamped lake and a friendly bear. I stamped the bear in Versamark and heat embossed with copper powder. The lake was stamped on two strips of Seafoam cardstock and attached once to the back of the inside and once inside the circle opening to add depth. I stamped some Canvas in Creamy Caramel on a scrap of Very Vanilla (writing this is making me hungry!) before adding the sentiment. There is a little Wink of Stella on the water but it doesn't show in the photo. Hope this brings a big smile to Susan's face!

This is SO cute! I love the bear holding a heart and your lake looks great. Fab dp too, loving those trees. I've got to try this tent fold. Maybe I'll have time tomorrow.
Thank you for making a card for Susan. She will love this one too.
EDIT 6/8 - This is just too cute. Susan loves this.

Fabulous card. Love the backside of the bear. We camped in the mountains once and came back to warnings from the park ranger. They noticed that we had left out a wine glass and it attracted a bear. We've been super careful ever since.
