Create with Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Travels & Adventures!

Hello! Happy weekend and welcome to a Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! I hope you are having a great time using our Stampin’ Up! products and that you’ll get some neat ideas that you can use from our blog hop today.

I even added a little bit of detail to the window to make it look realistic. How fun!

This is the card recipe:

• Card Base: Basic Gray Cardstock 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
• Layer #2: Brights Designer Paper 5-1/4″ x 4″. Glue to card front.
• Layer #3: Neutrals Designer Paper 2″ x 1-1/2″. Trim the 2″ end into a banner shape with Paper Snips. Glue to the right side centered over the designer paper layer.
• Layer #4: Basic White Cardstock 4-3/4″ x 3″. Follow these steps:
  • Stamp the truck image to the right using VersaMark Ink.
  • Sprinkle with black embossing powder and melt the powder using the Heat Tool.
  • Color the truck using Smoky Slate and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Markers.
  • Color the window using the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Marker. Use the Color Lifter to lighten up the color a little.
  • Add diagonal streaks to the window with the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Marker.
  • Stamp the balloons using Bermuda Bay Ink.
  • Stamp the dirt to the left of each tire using Soft Suede Ink.
  • Glue to card front at the left using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Sentiment: Stamp the sentiment on Bermuda Bay Cardstock that measures 2″ x 1-1/8″ using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Glue to the truck body. Stamp the sentiment again using only the Birthday Wishes line on a 1/2″ strip of Pool Party Cardstock. Trim the ends into a banner and glue over the first sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
