He's All That Vintage Truck Collage |
M asculine birthday card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Cajun Craze Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Early Espresso Cardstock
- 3-3/4" x 5" of dark brown diamond grid with dots in the centers on light brown design from He's The Man 12" x 12" Specialty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
Adhere the piece of He's The Man Designer Paper to the center of the Early Espresso rectangle and then to the front of the Cajun Craze card.
Carefully punch out the torn out piece of spiral notebook paper die cut from the sheet of die cuts in the He's The Man 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Mount the small circle with the "x" in the center image from the He's All That Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Sahara Sand Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the torn out piece of spiral notebook paper die cut. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Let some of the images go off the edges.
Adhere the stamped torn out piece of spiral notebook paper die cut to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown.
Mount the "happy birthday to a classic" image from the He's All That Set on Block C. Carefully ink up only the words "Happy Birthday" using the side of the brush tip of the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker. Carefully ink up only the vintage truck/car image using the side of the brush tip of the Cajun Craze Stampin' Write Marker. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla square.
Pick out the scalloped edge circle die from the All That Dies. Put it on top of the stamped image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die side to side and slightly closer to the top. Run through the machine.
Adhere the circle cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the right edge of the torn notebook paper die cut a bit as shown.
Carefully punch out the strip of 5 small yellow stars die cut from the sheet of die cuts in the He's The Man 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the strip of 5 small yellow stars die cut to the front of the card so it is just under the tires of the vintage vehicle as shown.
Carefully punch out the orange arrow, large orange star, medium yellow star, and small yellow star die cuts from the sheet of die cuts in the He's The Man 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals or tiny pieces cut from the edge of the Dimensionals sheet to adhere the arrow and stars die cuts to the front of the card as shown.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small dots from the sheet of Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the torn notebook paper die cut as shown.
