Hi Stamping Friends!
Today I created a birthday card for a friend who happens to be a UTV owner and enthusiast. I used the shimmery black embossing powder to emboss the outline image of the UTV and then colored it in using Stampin' Blends and this really made the details on the UTV pop. I also used Seaside Blue ink to emboss the water/puddle images and this looks really cool....just like the water we splash through when we are out on the trails. I hope you enjoy this cute card! Here are the details to recreate it....
List of Ingredients:
Stamps: Pedal to the Metal,
Snow Front, Nature's Beauty, Peaceful Moments, My Meadow
Ink: Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake,
Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede, Seaside Spray, Daffodil Delight, Memento
Black, Versamark
Cardstock: Mossy Meadow,
Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Accessories: Shimmer black
embossing powder, clear embossing powder, Stamping Sponges,
Tombow liquid adhesive, Whisper
White envelope, post-it note for masking sun and UTV, heat tool, 1" circle
punch
Dimensions:
Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2 ", scored at 4
1/2" – Mossy Meadow
Inside of card: 5 1/4" x
4" - Whisper White
First layer: 5 3/8" x 4
1/8" – Crumb Cake
Second layer: 5 1/4" x
4" -- Whisper White
Basic Instructions:
1. Cut and fold card
base.
2.
Stamp sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set and grove of trees from
Snow Front stamp set onto one of the Whisper White pieces for the inside of the
card and adhere to inside of card base.
Set aside.
3.
Stamp an image of the UTV onto a post it note to use as a mask. Fussy cut it out. Use embossing buddy on the second Whisper
White piece. Now stamp the UTV image
onto about the center of the second Whisper White piece with Versamark
ink. Sprinkle with black embossing
powder and heat with heat tool. Let it
cool.
4.
Once it is cool, cover the image with the mask image of the UTV. Using a Stampin sponge, sponge crumb cake ink
onto the bottom half of the card using a torn piece of typing paper to make
hills and valleys. Move the paper to
make different layers of "dirt".
5.
Punch out a 1" circle from a post it note and place the circle in
the upper right corner of the card to represent the sun. Using a stamping sponge, using the Balmy Blue
ink, sponge the sky around the sun and the UTV and stopping where the Crumb
Cake "dirt' begins. Remove the sun
mask and replace with the cut-out piece of post it note from the sun punch and
sponge the sun with Daffodil Delight ink.
6.
Use embossing buddy, then using Seaside Spray ink, ink up the water pond
stamp image from the Snow Front stamp set and stamp the image where you want
your "mud puddle" to be, then quickly cover with clear embossing
powder. (Don't let the ink dry or the
powder won't stick.) Heat with heat
tool.
7.
Again use the embossing buddy and then repeat with the swoosh image in
the Seaside Spray where you want your water to be, then again quickly sprinkle
with clear embossing powder and heat with heat tool.
8.
Using the grove of trees image from the Snow Front Stamp set, stamp the
trees on both sides of the UTV where the dirt and the sky meet using Old Olive
ink.
9.
Using Soft Suede ink, stamp some of the shrub images from the Nature's
Beauty stamp set as desired, then fill in with some of the grass from the same
stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink.
10.
Using Black Memento ink, stamp some of the birds from the My Meadow
stamp set onto the sky and extending over the sun.
11.
Using Soft Suede ink, stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment from the
Peaceful Moments stamp set in the upper left corner.
12.
Using Stampin' Blends, color in the UTV as desired. I used Dark and Light Mossy Meadow and Light
and Dark Smoky Slate. For the tires, I
used the light Basic Black. Using the
light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend, color in the sky in the UTV where the windows
are.
13.
Stamp the grove of trees from the Snow Front stamp set onto the envelope
flap.
I
hope you enjoy this card. We are always
out in our UTV on the weekends in the summer and this brought back some great
memories. Hope you have a great day!
Chris
