Life's A Journey: Enjoy the Ride

When I see a card that is so well-crafted and I have all the supplies myself, I can't HELP but CASE it and this one is no exception. My Stampin' Pretty Pal Windy Ellard made a similar one some time back, and I've been meaning to make it, too. She used different colors and Designer Paper, but I used colors I had on hand.

The sentiment from One Wild Ride could be used on a card for many occasions! I love this stamp set just for that reason.

Masculine Birthday - One Wild Ride

As I wait for my new items (especially designer series paper!) to arrive from the new catalog, here is a card I CASEd from Kathyrn's Stampin' World that doesn't need any designer paper!

I used a piece of retired copper paper behind the stamped focal point. The tire track stamp is White Craft Ink on Basic Black Paper and makes a wonderful little stripe across the bottom. 

Thanks for looking today! I hope you are inspired! Take a look at my Online Store and order some stamps for yourself!

One Wild Ride Happy Birthday!

My team member Renee CASEd this shiny and beautiful card using the One Wild Ride stamp set and brought it over for a couple of us to make. I love all the layers and how she brought the Black Ombre stamp pad, which I used to stamp the motorcycle and the top sentiment. There is also Wink of Stella on the motorcycle to give it a little more sparkle.

Thanks for looking today. I hope you will leave a comment so I know you are out there!

Pals Blog Hop - "Wicked Folds"

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for October 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month our projects feature cards made using “wicked” folds. What is a “wicked” fold? It is anything other than the standard A2 card fold. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

I believe this is called an "easel card", or a version of one. It's not wicked at all, but easy to duplicate. You simply cut the card base the same way you would (any shape or size) then cut out the middle of the front to make a "frame." (I made a 3/4" cut using my Stampin' Trimmer, turning the card for each side).  Score the frame horizontally halfway down the frame and then make a second card front "frame" the same size as your card front and adhere that over the bottom of the fold. When you close the card it looks like the photo below. It's flat for mailing. You could make it a shaker care using TWO Window Sheets instead of the Window Sheet and Watercolor Paper like I used here.

The little stamped circles popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals help keep the card standing up.

In this version, I placed an Window Sheet between the frame and my watercolor paper. The watercolor paper has a skyline painted on it with four birds drawn on. The Window Sheet has the motorcycle stamped in Jet Black Stazon. In person it looks more 3-D with the bike in the foreground. I added the top frame using Stampin' Dimensionals. The motorcycle does not look fuzzy in person, but when I uploaded the photos, they blurred a little for some reason. Sorry about that! :-(

Materials Used: One Wild Ride stamp set, Watercolor Paper, Window Sheets, Pumpkin Pie and Very Vanilla card stock, Jet Black Stazon, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker; Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sky inks; Big Shot with Bunch of Banners Framelits, 3/4" Circle Punch, Tombow Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Congratulations! Well Done!

One week from today, our son graduates from the Police Academy and begins a job as an officer in a local city. We are so proud! I made this card using Night of Navy and Smoky Slate Card Stock with Whisper White accents.

The badge from the My Hero stamp set is perfect here, stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder. I used a Blender Pen and a pool of Night of Navy ink to color in the "#1" circle. I perfectly punched it out using the Best Badge Punch.

The "CONGRATULATIONS" sentiment is from One Wild Ride. I framed it using the Bunch of Banners Framelits.

I'm glad you looked today. I invite you to shop my Online Store any time! 

One Wild Ride for the PPA312

I have several male relatives with birthdays this fall and I'm going to be ready! Luckily the one this is for also rides a motorcycle, so this set, One Wild Ride is perfect! This is my first card with this set and it's for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge starting today.

The card came together fast, all I had to do was choose a background and colors. The stamp set provided all the other elements to put in place of those circles on the sketch above.
