Legendary Ride stamp set

Hi friends,

I need a few masculine cards so here is one using the Legendary Ride stamp set (#160754).

The bike was stamped on Very Vanilla card (#106550) with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The co-ordinating die from the Legendary Ride dies (#160762) was used to cut the bike.

I dry embossed the Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (#160766). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. I punched the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (#161503) with the retired Banner Triple punch and attached it to the card front.

The sentiment was also copper embossed and cut with a Stars At Night die (#162006). The edges were daubered with Copper Clay ink (#161647).

The bike & sentiment were both attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Season Of Chic

Hello again friends,

I have had a very busy week so sorry I have missed a couple of posts but here I am again. I have used a mix of products on this card.

The flowers from the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810) were stamped with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) and cut with a co-ordinating die from the Chic dies (#158815). I then cut the Lemon Lolly card (#161729) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) with another Chic die and this was attached to the stamped flower.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (#160766) but I used the back of the embossing. I cut the corners with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). The card front was matted with the Lemon Lolly card then attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the 3 circles with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) and taped these together and attached them to the card. The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Wild Wheat ink (#161651).

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were cut with dies from the Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525) and the Lazy Days dies (#161342). I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), Wild Wheat card (#161734) and (retired) Brushed Metallic Gold Foil. All these were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making them easy to attach to the card.

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add shimmer to the flowers and then added the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) to the flower centres and the sentiment.

I stamped the truck with Smoky Slate ink (#147113) onto Smoky Slate card (#131291). This was punched with the Trucking Along Builder Punch. I added a small amount of shading using the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904) and used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the mudguards.

The flowers from the same stamp set were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899), Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). The flowers were fussy cut.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (#160766). I matted this with Real Red card (#106578) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” is cut with the Wanted To Say Dies (#161594) using Basic Black card (#121688) and Real Red card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach this to the card.

The Basic Black & Real Red circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The truck & flowers were attached to the circles with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The koala and the Gold frame were cut with a die from the Fabulous Frames (#159163) and both attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Gold Foil (#132622) was used for the frame and the card front. I punched the corners of the Gold Foil with the now retired Detailed Trio Punch. The Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) was dry embossed with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (#160766). The corners were cut with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878).
