Bike Ride to Adventure

 Hello Everyone,

Stopping in today to share a card I made with some super pretty papers from Webster's Pages.  I added a sentiment and striped ribbon to complete.

Quickie post today.  See you next time for more cards using the Webster's Pages papers.

Tall Trees on the Bike Trail

Hello Dreamers,
How is your day going?  Well, I hope.  Doing good here.  Did my grocery shopping already this morning.  So, that means I get to goof off for a bit.  Yea!  LOL  Today, let's take a bike ride with a project made with stamps from Lost Coast Designs.

Materials List:

Stamps: Tall Trees Background and Bike Border from Lost Coast Designs

Ink: Mushroom Adirondack,Versa Fine Black

Distress Ink: Faded Jeans and Forest Moss

CS: Black; Not Quite Navy - Stampin' Up

Sheet Music Paper (or sheet music stamp would work too)

Metal disk embellishments

Ribbon Slide -Stampin' Up

Tweed Ribbon

Instructions:

• Make a card from Not Quite Navy CS and add a layer of black CS
• Stamp the Tall Trees stamp onto the sheet music with Mushroom ink
• Stamp one of the Bikes from the Bike Border with Black ink
• Distress with the Distress inks

• Add the stamped piece to the card base
• Add the silver metal embellishment
• Wrap the tweed ribbon around the card
• Slide the ends of the ribbon through the ribbon slide and tie in a knot

I was using the paper with sheet music as a scrap to test the Tall Trees stamp...My husband is a musician and prints lots of sheet music.  And, when it does not print correctly, he hands it to me and says, "Can you use this?".  Of course I can.  Anyway, I liked the way the trees looked on the sheet music and just went with it.  And, that is my design process for this card...in case you were wondering.

Spring Bike Ride with Lost Coast Design

Hi Dreamers!
We are really having nice  Spring weather this weekend!  Got out for a nice walk in the afternoon and ran some errands later.  The temps got up into the high 50's!  So, seems like Spring is on the way!   So, lets take a bike ride today in Dreamland.  Today's project was made with a Lost Coast Design stamp called Bikes Border and measures 8" long.

This is a long narrow card that incorporates shadow stamping and heat embossing.

• Cover an acrylic block with Tan pigment ink (All inks from A Muse Studios) and stamp onto white CS
• Heat set the ink
• Ink the Bike Border with brown pigment ink and stamp over the shadow stamping.
• Heat emboss with clear embossing powder

• Layer with black CS 
• Tie black ribbon around a Kraft card base 
• Add a piece of polka dot DP from Canvas Corp.
• Add the stamped bikes.

And, how about a few super fun challenges for my embossed bike ride card?!!

I will taking the day off tomorrow to enjoy the Easter Holiday with my family.  My brother is making dinner.   Not to worry!  He is a good cook.  So, I will just enjoy getting together with everyone and celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord!    Hope your weekend is good and filled with the blessing of Easter!  Love ya.
