Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card

We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs.  Look at this:

It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult.  The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing!  It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?! 

SIMPLY MARBLEOUS 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all.  I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine!  It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too!  Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.  

The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here.  We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder. 

*There's a video to see how this card was created.  You can watch it here.

The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.  

I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles.  See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February. 

The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.

After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.

  • Nature Walk card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option. Both include the exclusive video!

    I had to feature the Nature Walk designer paper for a card kit & tutorial. It’s just gorgeous with deep, rich prints.

    Save

    I paired it with the new Covered in Flowers Accents from the Spring catalog, the retiring butterflies and White Baker’s Twine. See those pretty floral & botanical die-cuts on the cards? That’s the Flower Accents! They come in a large single sheet of thick pre-cut pieces. They’re white but can be colored or textured. They were so fun to use on these cards!

    3 of the 5 designs are fun fold layouts. The kit & tutorial include 2 of each. You can choose from the PDF tutorial for $16 or the pre-cut card kit which includes up to $20 in Stampin’ Up! product for just $31.

    Everything is cut for you in this kit except for your new 1/2 package of the designer paper. You will need your own greeting images, inks, adhesives and paper trimmer.

    Reserve your kit here. Purchase the PDF tutorial here. It includes step by step directions, photos, a supply list and measurements.

    The tutorial with exclusive video link is sent via email immediately after purchase. The kit is sent at the end of February.

  • Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video

    We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

    Save

    I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

    Save

    I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

    This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

    Save

    My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    More details:

    • I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
    • We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
    • The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
    • The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

    I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.

  • A new fun fold card with the Nature Walk suite; wow!

    Karen’s swap card blows me away! I haven’t seen a card fold like this one before and I just love her color choices too.

    Save

    Isn’t it beautiful?! Can you tell that the front, main layers are ‘caught’ on the diagonal textured layer on the lower left? That’s what is keeping the flap tucked in.
    This is how it opens:

    Save

    Her colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & Basic White. I’ll share measurements below.
    Did you catch the pretty textured layer? That’s the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. And did you notice the ‘wood look’ die-cut in Olive near the greeting? That and the greeting are included the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.

    She used the Nature Walk suite for her card which includes gorgeous nature focused products. See it all here.

    Save

    Here’s how she finished the inside of her card:

    Save

    Measurements as follows:

    -card base 7″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
    -White 7″ X 5″ scored at 3 3/4″. Make a mark on the shorter end at 1″ from the top and the bottom. Trim off the rectangle to the score line for the front flap
    -Secret Sea front is 3″ square, side is 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, the diagonal piece is 2 1/2″ X 2 3/4″ cut in half and inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
    -DSP front is 2 3/4″ square, side is 2 1/4″ X 5″
