Classic Trucks card

 I don't know about you, but I often struggle with ideas for a masculine card. I love this classic truck from the Trucking Along set item # 162299. It is available for purchase in the online exclusives. I also love that the truck comes with a coordinating punch - super simple to create multiple. 

The truck is a two-step stamping, so the background color is from a stamp. The "best wishes" makes it a nice all occasion card. Simple, fun, masculine - ya!

Quilt Card Template

Hello. I came across a posting for this fun quilt card and I thought I would share the process with you. It is such a great way to use up paper scraps! 

What you need: 

• 8 1/2' x 5 1/2' for card base
• 4" x 5 1/4" background panel piece (in my case I used gray)
• (2) 1" x 5 1/2" strips of patterned paper
• (11) 1" x 4" strips of patterned paper 

You could get away with less than the 11 pieces because you will only be using only a small corner or an inch or so on some of the pieces. 

Place your background panel down and begin by adhering the two longest diagonal pieces  - okay to let the edges overhang the panel. From there, use the template below to see placement of the remaining pieces. Just get the placement right with a small revealed border around each piece that you adhere. Don't worry about the overhanging edges - once all are attached, you will trim the edges down to the size of the background panel. Easy peasy!

This cute sentiment came from the Perennial Postage set item # 162598 in the mini catalog. To shop now:

Perennial Postage

A card for a sweet friend using the PERENNIAL POSTAGE bundle. The stem is from the ARTISTIC dies. The background is the EXPOSED BRICK 3D ef and the PAINTED TEXTURE 3D ef. I used the blending brushes and applied Rich Razzleberry and Concord Grape to the die cut stem for an hombre effect.

Oh Night Divine

A manger scene Christmas card using the Night Divine Bundle. I used watercolor paper for the background effect. Spritzed with water, then used the blending brushes to add shades of blue.

Night Divine 

Added the stars with a stencil and embossing paste inked with crushed curry. The sentiment was heat embossed on vellum. I die cut all of the manger images in white and colored with blending brushes and ink.
