Happy Days

This card was created for Ted's Happily Ever Challenged #6 - which is likely the most unique challenge in which I've ever participated! Check out the challenge for the deets, but basically I had to use orange, dry embossing, colouring, and a vehicle.

Well, how perfectly perfect. I just happen to be on a car stamp kick! So yup, you guessed it, another Enjoy the Ride card! One of these days I'll try using another set and layout!

Anyhoo, pretty self-explanatory. It's hard to see, but I coloured the bumper, headlights, and windshield (and used the kissing technique on the body again - does that count as colouring?) I coated the headlights and windshield in Crystal Effects.

Baby on Board

This is one of my favourite cards in this series of "Enjoy the Ride."
I love how the arygle turned out, and the fun kissing technique on the car, and the bling. So happy with it!

Be Happy

Hee. I told you I was in love!

This time I used Polka Dot Basics II for the background and the kissing. It's hard to see, but I also used the dotted argyle stamp to add some interest to the background.

Just Moved

Yup, it's another card using my new favourite sets! This time I didn't add any texture to the car body, but I did use Dew Drops for the headlights!
(for those on the PTI forum, you'll notice my Hawaiian Shores ink is still a bit temperamental - I did smoosh it, but the colour separated a bit again)
I really like how the inside turned out - especially the outline of the car in the corner.

Ooh, I've passed 20,000 hits on my blog!!! I'll have a little blog candy giveaway very soon.

Birthday Boy

Another card using Enjoy the Ride. This time I added the new PTI Woodgrain impression plate!
With this card, I again "kissed" the car body with the woodgrain stamp. I also used clear dome stickers for the headlights (I wish I could remember where I got these! I have several sizes, these ones fit perfectly in the headlights.)

I'm in love

With a stamp set (or three)! Papertrey Ink's April release included Enjoy the Ride, Background Basics: Woodgrain, and A Little Argyle. As soon as I unwrapped them, I was inspired! I created SEVEN cards in less than two days. Crazy, right?

Oh, and did I mention there's a matching PTI die for the CAR in Enjoy the Ride? Awesome, right???

So here are the first two. I made them at my aunt's house, and gave them to her, so I couldn't get a normal photo in my crafts room. Both use the same layout, just different colours.

I knew as soon as I saw the woodgrain stamp set that I wanted to use it for "kissing." This is a super easy technique. Ink up a solid stamp (such as the body of the car) and then take a clean (un-inked) stamp and touch it to the inked stamp. This removes the ink from the solid stamp, and leaves the image of the un-inked stamp. Cool beans, eh?
Don't you LOVE the argyle? This stamp set is so much fun to use. I also edged both cards in white ink. Oh, and notice the wee license plate? The Enjoy the Ride stamp set includes a bunch of little sentiments to fit in the license plate, as well as larger sentiments that go along with them.

I plan to post the other cards over this week, to spread them out a bit. I've been super busy at work, so I haven't been in my crafts room since Saturday!

ps. I'm closing in on 20,000 hits to my blog. Expect a wee bit of yummy candy when I do!
