Driving By To Say Hi!

Today's card is made for a friend who is in the hospital all alone and needs to be cheered up and to let them know that we are thinking of him!  

Masculine cards are a little more tricky for me.  I want the card to be fun but not too sparkly.  That is a fine line to walk, my friend!  

I started with the Driving By stamp set (a FREE Sale-a-bration item with $50 purchase 158099) because our friend was kind of into cars.  Perfect!  I stamped the vehicle images on the Basic White Cardstock and then colored them with these Stampin' Blends colors:   Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, and Balmy Blue.  I then fussy cut each out and I took off the presents on the top of the Volkswagon and the balloons from the little fancy convertible.  I didn't think our friend would need those.  

The base of the card is a piece of Pool Party Cardstock that was cut in half to measure 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".  The Designer Series Paper next in the layer is from the Sunshine & Rainbows set which is a Sale-a-bration item also , #158126, FREE with a $50 purchase right now!  I cut the piece one quarter of an inch smaller than the cardstock. 

The next layer is also from the Sunshine & Rainbows set and is one quarter of an inch smaller than the previous layer (see my pattern?).

I then cut little strips of the back sides of the Sunshine & Rainbows set to act as roads to place the vehicles on.  I also put one behind my "sign" or sentiment as kind of a sign post type of thing.  The sentiment was punched out with the Label Me Fancy Punch.  

I glued down the little "roads" pieces and then put Dimensionals on the backs of the vehicles.  The sentiment was glued down.

All set!

Now the husband is going to be in charge of writing some words on the inside.  

I hope you like it!

You can find all of the items on my Project Page (My Projects Page) on my website except for the Sale-a-bration items.  Those are easily obtained by placing a $50 order for each on my website My Online Shop.  Have fun!  

Light the Candles Card Class!

January!  Brrr.  What could be more fun than joining in a super fun class with very cheery projects?  Please join me in my Light the Candles Card Class on Thursday, January 27, 2022 at 6:30 pm central time.  I'll be working with the newly added Stampin' Up! kit Light the Candles.  It would be super fun to make these together so please consider purchasing a kit now so that it will arrive in time for our class.  Here is a handy link for you to get yours:  Get your Light the Candles Kit here!

 The neat thing about Stampin' Up kits are the coordination between other projects.  You can feel free to change up the cards and not make exactly what is shown here.  Get creative and go wild to create your own items.  There are no right or wrong answer when creating your own crafts!  

So that's it!  I hope we can have fun together making some awesome creations!

Hope to see you there!

See you next time!
