Love at First Sigh

Happy Hump Day...downhill to the weekend and March Break for me...wahoo!!

Today I have another one of the Make-n-Takes we did at my team meeting this week. It uses the Pedal Pusher Sale-a-bration stamp set...

Wedding/anniversary card featuring the Pedal Pusher stamp set with sentiment from the Greatest Greetings set.

I began with a piece of Basic Gray card stock on which I heat embossed the bike and basket images from the Pedal Pusher stamp set in white. I added the tin cans to the back fender, which are from the Beautiful Ride stamp set. The pink banner is cut from some Have a Cuppa DSP and the glittery one is a piece of Metallics Glitter Tape, which is also a Sale-a-bration freebie. I matted the front panel with a piece of Melon Mambo card stock...there's just something about that pink and gray...love it!

I added some twine from the Baker's Twine Combo Pack as well as some little confetti hearts, punched from Melon Mambo card stock using the Confetti Hearts Border punch. The sentiment is from the Greatest Greetings set and is stamped in Basic Gray ink on Whisper White card stock. The card is built on a Basic Gray card base.

On the inside I added a Whisper White panel on which I stamped the bike in Basic Gray and the hearts, also from the Pedal Pusher stamp set, in Melon Mambo. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Ride set and is also stamped in Basic Gray ink. I added one more little bitty confetti heart.

I love it when I can combine two or more stamp sets on one project. What are some of your favourite sets to combine? I'd love to hear your ideas!

So Vintage

Happy Wednesday...half way to the weekend...woohoo! We are heading into exams at school today, so my marking load is going to triple in the next couple of days! I'm thankful I had some stamping time last weekend, because there may not be any for a while ;)
Today I have a fun birthday card for you...

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may have seen a post over the weekend showing a partially coloured page of flowers and some Stampin' Write markers.  This is what I was making! A perfectly retro birthday card for the former flower child in your life :)

I began with a piece of the black and white floral-patterned DSP from the Neutrals Colour Collection stack.  I used Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Tangelo Twist and Bermuda Bay markers to colour each little flower. Then I matted it on a piece of gold foil sheets and added some gold foil flower stickers from the All Boxed Up Kit.  Totally psychedelic, no? It was the perfect backdrop for my tie-dyed VW Bug from the Beautiful Ride set. I achieved that look by filling an aquapainter with rubbing alcohol and using it to pick up colour from my ink pads. I dabbed the aquapainter on the car image until I had the look I wanted. The wheels and windows are coloured with Smoky Slate and Basic Gray inks. I also heat embossed the word Love in gold.

The sentiment is from the That Thing You Did stamp set. I stamped it in Basic Black ink and then fussy-cut it out.  That isn't something I normally do with sentiments, but I really felt like this particular design called for it. I added a little gold glimmer star by way of embellishment.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment from the That Thing You Did set and added a couple more gold foil stickers. This may just be my hubby's next birthday card!  Hee-hee :)
