Some Retired Products

Hi!
I showed a card in my last post that I'd made almost a year ago as a sample for a group that I do card making with once or twice a term.  Today's card was made at the same time for the same group.  Even though most of the products on it a retired I thought I'd show it to you anyway.

I loved the Motorcycle stamp and was sad when it retired, however the Need For Speed set filled the gap it left behind rather nicely, so I wasn't sad for long.  I loved the paper too, it was perfect for male cards!

Stamps: Motorcycle (retired)

Ink: Night of Navy

DSP/Cardstock: Travel Journal DSP (retired), Night of Navy, Crumb Cake, Whisper White

Other: Dimensionals

Bye for now,

Grungy Birthday Card

Hi!

Today's card was made for a workmate of Rob's.  A male workmate.  Which meant a male card. Sigh...  They are soooo hard to make.  Thankfully Stampin' Up! has released the Well Worn DSP, which makes male cards a lot easier.  And when you have a great sketch to work with, like the current challenge at Unscripted Sketches, it's even easier!

I wanted to emphasise the grungy look of the DSP and continue it through onto the plain cardstock.  To do this I used one of the 'filler' stamps from the Simply Soft stamp set as a background stamp.  I never would have thought to do this - thanks to Nikki Sadler for the idea!

Just a different angle of the front of the card.  The Motorcycle panel is popped up on Dimensionals.

And the inside of the card.  I carried through the look from the front by using more DSP and stars.

Stamps: Simply Soft, Curly Cute, Motorcycle (retired)

Ink: Cajun Craze, Not Quite Navy

DSP/Cardstock: Well Worn DSP, Cajun Craze, Not Quite Navy, River Rock

Other: Artichoke Denim Ribbon, Small Star Punch (retired), Sponge Dauber, Dimensionals

Catch you later,

Just Add Ink #65: Just Add Mateship

Hi!

This week the girls at Just Add Ink are honouring Anzac Day by challenging us to Just Add Mateship/Friendship.  I thought about it for a while and then decided that I'd make a male card.  Many men bond over a motor, so I decided to ink up my brand new Motorcycle stamp.

The Motorcycle image is stamped on Vellum with Basic Black ink.  I cut a section out of both the Basic Black base cardstock and the Brushed Copper cardstock and then adhered the vellum behind the cut out.  It gives the stamped image a softer look.

The rest of the embellishments are Rub Ons from a retired set called 'Anchored'.  I won them recently, so I can't tell you which SU catalogue they are from.

I like this Rub On.  My husband Rob reckons it looks like a motorcycle tyre, so it fits nicely both with the theme of the challenge and with the stamped image.

I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Stamps: Motorcycle
Ink: Basic Black
Cardstock: Basic Black, Brushed Copper, Vellum
Other: Anchored Rub Ons (retired), 1 1/4" L Circle Punch, 1" M Circle Punch, Dimensionals.

Catch you later,

Tina
