    A 2 for 1 card I made at the same time as last week’s motorcycle card. Made an extra motorcycle, so I made a birthday card w/ it, using pretty much all the same supplies.


    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC906), we are visiting Belk & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS item. I made several motorcycles last week & had one left over, so I made another slimline card w/ it.

    This card uses pretty much all the same supplies I used in THIS post, except the filmstrip die. While I was making all the motorcycles, I made an extra one. This time it was a little easier since I didn’t have to cut up all the motorcycles. I added a dry embossed copper background & backed it w/ a narrow black layer. 

    The motorcycle was popped up w/ foam to give it a little dimension, 

    Here is a handy trick that made putting the bike together a lot easier. I put a piece of sheet protector over the package w/ the bike picture & taped it to my glass mat. Then I assembled the pieces of the bike right on top of the picture.

    Since the pkg picture is the exact size, I knew the pieces would all be in the correct places. The sheet protector kept the glue off of the pkg & I was able to wipe it up easily off the sheet protector.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    A masculine slimline card for a special man or boy, featuring a filmstrip die & a fab motorcycle. Helpful tip on assembling the die cuts, too.


    Happy Easter! A big congrats to Heather, the newest Featured Stamper (FS844)! She has a wonderful gallery full of scrapbook pages & after much browsing, I chose THIS page to case for my card. I kept the filmstrip layout but instead of pictures, I made clips of a motorcycle to fill my frames.

    So for my slimline card, I die cut the filmstrip then added a thick cardboard behind it to elevate it. I die cut all the parts of the motorcycle & put together 3 of them. I arranged them to look as if the camera was catching it as it rode by. I added the greeting in 2 parts to the last couple of frames. The copper layer was embossed w/ a diamond plate embossing folder.


    The bikes were all cut to fit inside the popped up filmstrip. I didn’t want to take the chance on messing it all up when I stamped the greeting, so I put it on separate pieces of white & fit them inside the filmstrip.

  • Real Flowers

    A pink floral card using flowers stamped onto real pressed flowers (on watercolor paper) then die cut.

    For the Inspiration Challenge, we’re visiting Dans le Lakehouse & Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.

    My pink floral card started w/ a piece of watercolor paper I had run thru the die cut machine to press real flowers into the paper. I did this a year or so ago so I don’t remember which flowers I used but they had such lovely pinks & purples. I stamped the petunias directly onto this then die cut them. For the leaves, I used a couple of green watercolor pencils & a water brush.

    The large offset circle is a new die & I cut the striped paper w/ the larger section & plain pink w/ the smaller one. The colors in my flowers went really well w/ the lovely floral paper in the background. I stamped the greeting directly onto the striped section.

    The petunias & split circle were both popped up just a bit.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
