I enjoy creating projects in unexpected ways, like this card I created using the Bike Ride stamp set. As the name implies, this stamp set features a bike, and lots and lots of fun accessories to use with the bike. My friend Amanda won this stamp set at our On Stage event back in April, so I asked her if I could borrow it to create a card prior to the annual catalog going live on June 1st, (I have since purchased it myself). Of course I was dying to build a bike, but I decided to create a “non bike” project first. This stamp set is so cool because, well, first of all there are 24 stamps in this photopolymer set and many of the images are two or three step stamping. For instance, the basket was stamped first in Soft Suede with the basket weave image. Next I stamped the “color” part of the basket in Soft Suede that was stamped off once. I did a bit of fussy cutting on the basket, only because I didn’t have the Build a Bike Framelits, and I popped the basket up with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the bunch of apples which I colored in with Markers. All of this was attached to layers of circles from the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Layering Circles Framelits. The banner is a strip of the Wood Texture Designer Series Paper Stack that I punched with the Banner Triple Punch and stamped the sentiment from the Wood Words stamp set. Oh yeah, one more thing, I don’t know if you spotted it or not but I created a debossed edge around the Whisper White Layer of the card by scoring the card stock 1/4″ and 3/8″ from the edge of all four sides.
