F un card with patriotic colors using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Dapper Denim Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 1-3/4" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 3/4" x 5-1/2" from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
Mount either the "enjoy the little things" or the "live laugh love" sentiment from the Layering Love Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the large white rectangle.
Pick out the cobblestones framelit from the Build a Bike Framelits. Place the long, skinny strip of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the cobblestones framelit on top on one end as close to the bottom long edge as you can get. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Note: This framelit does NOT cut the cardstock. It just dry embosses it slightly.
Leave the Cherry Cobbler strip on the Big Shot and just move the cobblestones framelit over slightly to dry emboss the next section of the strip. Put a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Repeat until you have dry embossed across the entire strip.
Use Paper Snips to trim across the top of the cobblestones strip.
Adhere the cobblestones strip to the bottom of the stamped large white rectangle. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess Cherry Cobbler Cardstock as needed.
Adhere the large white rectangle to the large Cherry Cobbler rectangle and then to the front of the Dapper Denim card.
Mount the bicycle frame image from the Bike Ride Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Dapper Denim Ink Pad and stamp in the center of the 2-1/4" x 3" Whisper White rectangle.
Mount the solid handle bar grips image from the Bike Ride Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad and stamp it inside the handle bar grips on the Dapper Denim image.
Mount the solid pedal image from the Bike Ride Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad and stamp it inside the pedal on the Dapper Denim image.
Mount the solid seat image from the Bike Ride Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad and stamp it inside the seat on the Dapper Denim image.
If necessary, use the Cherry Cobbler Marker to color in any areas of the seat, handle bar grips, and pedal that didn't get colored. Use the Marker to color in the rivet dot on the back of the bike frame as well.
Pick out the bike frame framelit from the Build a Bike Framelits. Place the stamped bike frame image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the bike frame framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped bike frame image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the large circle with spokes image from the Bike Ride Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad. Stamp it on one of the white squares. Reink the stamp with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad and stamp it on the other white square.
Mount the smaller open circle image from the Bike Ride Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad. Stamp off once on Grid Paper. Then, stamp it in the center of one of the previously stamped wheel images. Reink the stamp, stamp off once, and stamp in the center of the other stamped wheel image.
Pick out the open circle framelit from the Build a Bike Framelits. Place one of the stamped wheel images on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the circle framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped wheel image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Repeat with the other wheel image.
Put a Mini Glue Dot on the back of the frame image near the bend at the back of the frame. Adhere the frame to one of the wheels so the bend in the frame is centered over the center of the wheel.
Put another Mini Glue Dot on the back of the frame image at the base of the frame on the front of the bike. Adhere the other wheel to the frame so that the base of the frame on the front of the bike is in the center of the wheel.
Put a few regular Stampin' Dimensionals on the backs of each wheel and some Mini Stampin' Dimensionals scattered around the back of the frame. Peel off the protective backings and adhere the bike to the front of the card to the left of the sentiment so the wheels just overlap the Cherry Cobbler cobblestone strip.
Pick out a Dapper Denim shape from the 2016-2018 In Color Glitter Acrylic Shapes and adhere it to the front of the card using a Mini Glue Dot. Be sure to put the glue dot on the smoother back side of the shape.
