Trucking Along

Hello friends,

A masculine card today using the Trucking Along stamp set (#162299).

I stamped the blue for the truck with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) using the stamping off method. To do this, ink your stamp, stamp it on scrap paper then stamp onto your card. This gives a lighter image. I then stamped the outline image of the truck with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Silver from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Trucking Along Builder Punch (#162305) was used to punch the truck.

I cut the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and the Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) with Nested Essentials dies (#161597). The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and was stamped with Night Of Navy ink. This was also cut with a Nested Essentials die.

The card front is from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393). I stamped the timber grain from the Textured Timber Stamp set (#163656) with VersaMark & Silver embossing powder onto the left side of the DSP. The card front was matted with Cherry Cobbler card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The truck was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Country Woods Designer Series Paper

Hello crafty friends,

An easy masculine card using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) and the Trusty Tools stamp set (#163274).

I stamped the woodgrain from the Textured Timber stamp set (#163656) on the right side of the Basic White card front (#159228) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I also stamped another image from this set on a smaller strip of card with Early Espresso ink (#147114).

I attached 2 of the deigns from the Country Woods DSP and the smaller stamped card to the card front. I cut another piece of DSP with a Deckled Circles Die (#162286) and attached that with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107) and cut with another Deckled Circles die. This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The tools from the Trusty Tools stamp set were stamped with Early Espresso ink and coloured with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904). These tools were cut with the Trusty Tools dies (#162722) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The card front was matted with Pool Party card (#124391), then attached to the Basic White base card.

Magnolia Mood

Hello stamping friends,

This flower is from the Magnolia Mood Bundle (#163507) which includes the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) and Magnolia Mood dies (#163506).

I stamped the magnolia with Smoky Slate ink (#147113) onto Basic White card (#159228). I coloured this with Stampin’ Blends - Peach Pie (#163827), Soft Sea Foam (#147102), Old Olive (#154892), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and 1000 (#159465). I cut this floral image and the detailed image with the Magnolia Mood dies.

I wanted this detailed die cut to be glossy so I stamped it all over with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The Oxidised Copper 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162190) was matted with Peach Pie card (#163800). The Peach Pie Bordered Ribbon (#163783) was wrapped around the card front, then attached to the Basic White base card. I attached the detailed white die cut with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the stamped floral image with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I stamped the “timber grain” from the Textured Timber stamp set (#163656) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). Then I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) with VersaMark & Copper Embossing Powder from the Metallics (#165678), and set it with the Heat Tool. The die to cut this is from the Christmas Labels (#164100). The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments (#164223) were added to the card.
