Race Car Birthday Card

Well, it’s about time I made a card with a racing theme!

After all, my family is full of Drag Racers!

My husband, son and brother-in-law have all raced nearly their entire lives...a legacy that was left to them by my dear departed father-in-Law who taught them everything they know!

I even dipped my toes in the “Drag Racing” game at our local Drag Strip (which has since sadly closed down), for the Wednesday Night Drags and actually won on 4 occasions!

I was pretty excited when I saw that Stampin’ Up was releasing a stamp set with a racing theme…(even if it wasn’t drag racing!) Still waiting on that one…that would be beyond awesome!

For now, this one will have to do and I have to say it’s pretty cool!

My husband loves the color red and his race car is red, so of course that is the color I chose for this race car!

His next favorite color is blue and the new car he is building will be blue and white, so I naturally leaned to that color also.

This stamp set is perfect for that masculine card you might be looking to make for that special man in your life!

Congratulations Baby Card

I haven't made many "Baby" themed cards but have been wanting to make one with this soon to be retired Stampin' Up Set - Cutest Onesie!

I've had the stamp set for awhile, but being the craft hoarder that I am...I have WAY more stamp sets than I have time to use them all! LOL!

(Yes...it's a sickness...one I am trying to recover from, but not having much success!)

I finally dusted this one off and went to work creating this cute card for a baby girl!

Paradise Garden Thank-You Card

I am really loving some of the new releases at Stampin' Up and I decided to use this stamp set: Paradise Garden along with some of the SU new "In-Colors" for this pretty floral Thank-You card.

I used the matching hybrid embossing folder and dies for this stamp set as well and inked the edges of the sentiment on the front to make it stand out from the white embossed background.

It is a bit hard to see the embossed piece in the photo above, but it really is a beautiful leaf pattern that accents this set well!

It can be seen a little bit better in the photo below.

For the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray Ink to give it a more subtle look to match the theme of the card.

I also included a small die-cut flower stamped in the new "In-Color" Barely Blush.

I just love this new color...I think it's my favorite so far!

Below are the measurements & supplies I used to make this card.

Card Recipe:

Type Card: Side Fold (A2)

Card Base: 8-½” x 5-½”, Scored at 4-¼” - Stampin’ Up Barely Blush Cardstock

Front Mat: 4” x 5-¼” - Stampin’ Up White Willow Cardstock, Embossed w/Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder

Inside Mat: 4” x 5-¼” - Stampin’ Up Basic White Cardstock

Happy Birthday Leaf Collection Card

I was inspired this past week to make a card for the Freshly Made Sketches Sketch #731 challenge and my first instinct was to use this awesome background stamp from Stampin' Up - "Leaf Collection" (#163610).
