Trucking Along on a Friday Night

-

 There's just something about fall that makes me think of good, old=fashioned things...like this truck! I'm not a huge car fan and can't tell you the difference between a Maserati and an Aston Martin, but I can tell the difference between a new truck and an old one. I can also tell you that I prefer the kind that is represented in the Trucking Along stamp set! And I prefer the stamp set because it's a stamp set with an accompanying punch!



To create this card, you simply need the Trucking Along bundle, a card base of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, and some inks.

Directions
  1. Stamp the tree outline in Pecan Pie ink repeatedly across the card base.
  2. Ink tree fill image in Crushed Curry, then "thump" with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write marker, and stamp on top of an outline image. Repeat until all trees have leaves.
  3. Ink the "dirt" image with Old Olive and stamp repeatedly along the base of the trees, creating a grassy area where the trees are planted.
  4. Clean "dirt" image. Ink with Crumb Cake ink and stamp repeatedly between grassy area and base of card to create a dirt road.
  5. On the scrap of Very Vanilla, stamp the outline of the truck in Gray Granite ink.
  6. Ink the truck fill image with Cajun Craze and stamp on top of the outline image. The light parts of the fill image near the fenders belong just under the lines of the fenders on the outline image.
  7. Stamp the wheels stamp in Black ink.
  8. Punch out truck and add to card base using Dimensionals.
  9. Add a sentiment in Cajun Craze in the top right of the card.
Here's the video that will better show you the process (and the thumping technique):

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer.
