WHAT ARE STAMPIN’ UP! CLING STAMPS? Watch my video demonstration with tips here.
Create a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base of Crumb Cake card stock using the Stampin’ Trimmer, it cuts and scores.
Adhere a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Tranquil Tide card stock to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
Layer and adhere a 1 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of Classic Garage 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper over a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Whisper White card stock. Use a Clear Block C to stamp the “exhaust” (Geared Up Garage) in 2nd generation (stamped off) Basic Gray ink. Adhere to card base with Snail Adhesive.
Adhere a 3 x 1 3/8 piece of the orange pattern from Classic Garage 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper as shown with Snail Adhesive.
Use the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, and coordinating car die (Garage Gears) to crop the car image from the Classic Garage 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Whisper White card stock. Trim to 2 1/4 x 3/4. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Crop a 1 5/8 x 6 piece of the Classic Garage 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper with the envelope liner die (Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies), Big Shot, and Magnetic Platform. Adhere to the outside flap of a Whisper White Medium Envelope. TIP: Cut with the envelope liner die on the opposite side of the pattern and use a relatively clean bottom plate. This reduces creases from the cuts in the plates.
Add three Basic Black enamel dots from Best Route Enamel Shapes as a final touch.
Oh my gosh, Mary, WOW!! this is an incredibly gorgeous masculine card, You are right, masculine cards can be dull because we’re afraid to embellish them too much but this is just amazing, stylish and fun.
Love all the pops of color you got from the DSP, and the way you created the “exhaust” is totally genius.
Thank you for sharing, off to pinning.
I appreciate your thoughts, Maria. I’m hoping my nephew will enjoy it!
This is a great card for any age.! Would be great for my grandson who just got his learners permit to drive. Love it!
let’s hope he doesn’t produce this much exhaust! love that it’s a good match for him!
Fantastic compilation! It is great that you were able to give it a lot of interest with the addition of the orange and colored DSP. TFS.
Masculine cards can look kind of flat in simply neutrals and color offers that perfect pop. Thanks for sharing, Juanita.
Thanks, Frenchie! I have never been afraid of making masculine cards!
Love this really cute card from this wonderful masculine set. I love the exhaust stamp and the crumb cake base. Have a great day, Mary.
I think you could use the “exhaust” stamp in lots of ways to build a background. Beautiful in colors, too, right?
Didn’t get this set…..and thinking I might have made a mistake on passing it up. GREAT card my friend.
If you are going to just get one thing, I suggest the designer paper. Very versatile!
A gorgeous card, Mary! I love that it’s masculine through-and-through but still celebrates wonderful colors. Such a great layout for a wonderful card!
That pop of orange keeps it interesting. Thanks, BK!
Love the carry-over of the car image to the envelope liner! Great card, Mary!
Thanks, Michelle. I love the vintage cars!
