Nature lover's wedding card | video tutorial

My husband's cousin got married and the couple are nature lovers.  Their wedding photos were taken out in a forest wearing their hiking gear and they registered at REI!  Need I say more?!  So I wanted to use this theme in their wedding card to make it more personal.  This is one of the benefits of being able to make your own cards - how hard do you think it would be to find a nature themed wedding card out in the stores??!

So here's the card.  It came out so much better than I thought it would.  I was happy to use a few pieces of cardstock from my scrap box.  I also was able to use my old stamp set that is an oldie but a goody from TPC Studio called Camp.  This old camping stamp set was an impulse purchase when I was on vacation and stopped by a craft store in the area.  But this set has come in handy so many times - especially since we've been camping every year.  So I was happy to pull out this set again to use it for this card. 
I combined these scrap papers and older stamp set with some new products I got in my July Simon Says Stamp 2014 card kit.  I used the patterned paper from the kit to do some paper piecing.  I loved the small images on the paper and the colors too worked out.  
I was in the mood to break out older products from my stash - even ones I haven't used yet - like the stencil from Heidi Swapp.  You'll see in the video how I combined using the stencil with other older tools like my Versamarker, heat and stick powder, and glitter of all things!  These are truly old products that I haven't used in ages.  So it truly felt good to pull them out and put them to use. 
I hope you enjoy the video tutorial and are inspired to pull out some of your older products and tools and combine them with newer products to create your next project!
