I own a lot and I mean a lot of burger stamps but when I saw this freebie digi from Hunkydory I couldn’t wait to colour it and make a card. I used the Tim holtz stencil for the ketchup splats but the first attempt went a bit overboard and looked more like a bloodbath than ketchup lol.
The last of the car cards for the moment, I’m not promising it will be the last ever just the last I have currently made lol.
I had to colour the other Ferrari in the set and it had to be red, I have enjoyed making these cards and there might even be a few more before I’m finished lol
I am sure I made more of these in different colours but this one was in my drafts waiting to be seen. It does make me want to make more.
Another car card and this time it’s a classic car, isn’t it weird that we associate certain cars with certain colours and this is no exception, it had to be powder blue lol.
Another of the car cards and this one had to be a Porsche and it had to be white lol. Not much else to say except there will be more of these as I loved making them and they are a great guy card, not too fussy and with a car lol.
Sometimes you envisage a card in your head and sometimes you make one with stuff leftover on your desk lol. This is the leftover kind but I still really like it lol. The background was from the reading girl cards and the bear was an experiment with a layered set and it worked so it needed to be used, the only thing actually made for this card was the sentiment.
I was trying to add where the bear came from but I can’t find the stamp set so it’s a mystery lol.
Is there any other colour you can get a Ferrari in, I don’t think so….of course I could be wrong but I do think red is iconic.
Now I don’t think the person I made this for will ever have a Ferrari except in card or model form but that shouldn’t stop you dreaming lol.
Another tried and tested design and I used every stamp in this set and made a whole set of cards that I will show after the birthdays.
This is a different style for me and one that kind of evolved along the way. I wanted to use a word background stamp from photo play that I bought at the infamous scrapbook expo but it looked lost on its own so I thought give it some splatter and this is the result, of course it’s not real splatter but stencilled on but it works.
I was inspired by a card I saw on Instagram (I don’t remember who’s card it was to give credit, apologies to the person), I really liked the simplicity of the design and I had a similar stencil so I thought why not make some similar.
This isn’t the only colour combo I used but I forgot to photograph the other one….
Woohoo the last of this design at least it is when I am typing this post in September last year, who knows I might have revisited it and made a load more lol
I wish I had made the wine a different colour combo but it does look more of a match in real life than on here
Last of the failed backgrounds and I think one of my favourites, these stamps lend themselves so well to the splatter background and now I want to make them in different colours
Almost the last of the failed backgrounds only one more to go, when faced with a blue moon looking background it seems logical to make a blue moon cocktail to go with it. It is making me want to try a blue moon now though lol.
This is one of the failed backgrounds for the gin bottle card from my last post but I do think it worked perfectly with the gin glass from the stamp set. Looking at this card does make me want to make more lol
So this card wasn't as easy as the others as Gin has no real colour so I went with a sort of lime juice splatter, of course this resulted in about four other backgrounds whilst trying to find the correct colour so expect to see those soon.
And so the obsession resumes lol. I made this card at the same time as the beer/bike/wine ones last year but waited until after the persons birthday to show it. The colour of the coffee cup is different to one I would have chosen but I was challenged to make a peach mug whilst on a call with friends. I am amazed that the first time I use this stamp set the company is no longer trading which is a shame as it works so well
I am not entirely sure how long I have had this stamp set but its a while, it even had dust on it lol.
I am still obsessed with embossing the background and also the notched die from Pink and Main, its the perfect size and shape. Of course I do wish I had measured better when adding the reinbeer bottle as its now as a jaunty angle lol.
Christmas is fast approaching and my cards are all now made and posted, I set myself a deadline of the 1st December but rarely make that. As I am writing this I want to make more cards but of course I am in the final throws of organising christmas presents, wrapping paper and food lol.
Ingredients
Image and Sentiment: Reinbeer from Your Next Stamp
Dies: Notched stax from Pink and Main
Card: Recollections by Michaels 65lb
Embossing Folder: Tim Holtz
Now this one follows the previous posts but I used a different stencil, I didn't think the splatter stencil would work although if I had made it look like mud it might have.
Last one of these until next year and then there are quite a few lol.
Whilst I had the stencil and canyon clay colour out I thought why not make a few and I surely did. I enjoyed making these so much and now typing this post I want to make more lol.
Now I said in my last post you would have to wait a while but then I remembered I made a few others that have already been received so I will post them now and when you see the others next year I will hopefully be on another obsession lol.
