The Great Outdoors Wiper Card!

Happy Monday,. everyone! I hope your week is starting out great. I have seen several wiper cards the last few days and they looked like so much fun, I wanted to give it a try. Erika at Cricut Love has made an awesome video with easy to follow instructions on making this card. Thanks, Erika! It is so much easier to make than it looks.
I was excited to see the challenge at FCCB this week is Let's Go Camping. Camping was a huge part of my childhood. We camped almost every weekend during the summer. For my card, I used cuts from Campin' Critters. I cut the trees at 4 3/4" and I ran the brown through the forest branches folder. I ran the tree tops through Swiss Dots. The moon, the little bunny in the sleeping bag and sign are all from the same cart. I made the little tent by hand.
When you pull the card open, the little wiper lifts up to reveal the message. So cute how this works! I put the great outdoors on mine, and added a sneaky little bear and deer.

I am linking the card to Erika's blog: Cricut Love and I am entering it at:

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great evening :)

    Hi Lisa! I love how you do these camping cards, they are always so cute! It's neat how you get two looks from the same card on this one, how creative! I'm going to have to check out that video to learn how to do these, what a great idea.

    Thank you so much for the awards and the nomination, that was so nice of you to think of me! I did the same my friend! :) Check it out when you get a chance! Oh, and I never tired of seeing a good smirk! lol

    Hi Lisa,
    Thanks for guessing where in the world I went. LOL. It's actually Venice, Rome and Barcelona in the pictures. But I did visit Istanbul as well. I'll put up more pics when I get home if you're interested.

    This is such a cute card! I never tried making a wiper card. It looks like fun! I'm putting that on my 'techniques to try' list. Where did you get directions on how to make it? or did you figure it out on your own?

    What a fablous card, Lisa. So cute... love the bunny in the tent.
    My computer is down, so I'm borrowing the Penmaker's, but can't get much done since he's using it whenever he's not making a pen. Have a great week if I can't get back to you!
