ANOTHER CARD FROM CAROL'S CLASS - PEDALING PAST

I promised more cards using the set Pedaling Past and so here you go. This is another one of the cards we made at Carol's on Friday night. The colors in this card aren't brand new but the stamp set and the designer paper is. I used Pumpkin Pie card stock for the card base because it coordinates with this awesome travel paper from the SU! summer mini catalog called Travel Journal. The colors in the dsp are pumpkin pie, bashful blue and night of navy. I embossed the card stock and the dsp with the new Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, exclusive to SU! I also want to point out that the centers of the wheels are vintage brads. This is such a great embellishment for the bicycle stamped on a Big Shot die cut scallop circle that is "popped off" the card with dimensionals. The ribbon is bashful blue taffeta. Check out our new Idea Book because SU! has added lots of great new taffeta ribbon.

Here is a tip - if you brush the embossed images with white craft ink, they really pop off the page. I did that with the card above.

Now one of the really cool stamps in the stamp set Pedaling Past is this border stamp. I stamped it twice - once above the thinking with you and once below it. I just turned it different directions. I would get this stamp set for the border stamp alone, but the bikes in the set and the sentiment - enjoy the journey - are really what also sells the set. By the way...they sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set - which is another great new SU! stamp set in the New Idea Book that is very versatile. By the way, this is the envelope for the card, but you could stamp something very similar on the inside of the card. I know I would find this "Happy Mail" if it came stamped like this to my house!
Lastly, since we focused on the New Color Coach at this class, I wanted to show you how well these colors really go together. And what is really nice, is that this card would work for a male or female so that if you wanted to send a thinking of you, happy birthday, best wishes, good luck, happy retirement or just a note...this is a great card. There is also a tricycle in the set so you can make a child's card, and there is a bicycle built for two if you need to do an anniversary or wedding card. And there is a great Thank You sentiment also.


At only $14.95 (#120069) for clear mount or $19.95 for wood mount, this is a great set to own.
