One of my favorite images from the It's Your Day double stamp set is the bicycle. For this card, some houndstooth paper and some woodgrain paper from the new Dakota kit is used along with two new colors of gray card stock - Slate and Whisper. The bicycle was stamped using CTMH's new pigment ink in Slate. It was then heat-embossed using Clear Detail Embossing Powder for a smooth and slightly shiny raised appearance.
Using the "s" button on the Artiste cartridge, there are nine different flap cards that can be cut, as well as an envelope and a card holder.

Great cards!
ReplyDeleteCute projects. Really like the oval shape with the bicycle and your distressing was the perfect touch!
ReplyDelete2 fantastic cards! The Dakota one is my fave -- masculine cards are so hard and this one is great!
ReplyDeleteLove the Dakota card!
ReplyDeleteI love that bike on the hound's tooth! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think it's unanimous - the Dakota hounds tooth and the bike are fab together! The Flirty card is cute too.
ReplyDeleteLove these cards! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI like both cards. I've been trying out the flap cards too. It looks like you cut it out 2x - once with Flirty and once solid cardstock (goldrod?) which you trimmed down to just be on the front. Very interesting - I found that cutting it just once from B&T was a little flimsy. Thanks for the idea. I'm going to try that tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThank you. And actually the flap card is just cut once with the card stock. After that, I cut a strip of the patterned paper to put on the outer left side of the card and another rectangle of patterned paper to fit on the inside of the card. Just wanted to add that color to liven up the plain card stock.
