Vintage Road Trip

 Hello crafters! I hope you are well and that you had a good weekend with lots of crafty time.

This week we have a Transport It theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us!! And don't miss the stunning project by our September guest designer Debbie Emmons.

I thought that the new Simon Says Stamp A7 Notched Rectangles, from the STAMPtember® release, look like tickets and decided to make a ticket shaped card. The theme of the card is taking a road trip in a vintage car. Almost everything on the card was stamped.

Start by die cutting a Simon Says Stamp A7 Notched Rectangle from heavystock cardstock. I really like this die cutting set. 

I also die cut the smallest rectangle. Smear Distress Ink on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Press the paper into the ink. Let dry and repeat.

Stamp one of the Tim Holtz Vintage Autos on the paper.

Add more stamping. I stamped the sentiments with Archival Ink Red Geranium. Turn the small rectangle into a ticket. The sentiment stamps are from: Tiny Text, Curiosity Shop and Road Trip. The compass comes from Tim's Warehouse District and the small stamps are from Correspondence.

Stamp some script with the ledger stamp from Tim Holtz Etcetera and gold emboss the grid pattern from Tim's Ultimate Grunge set.

Die cut A7 Notched Rectangles from gold kraft stock and from red cardstock. Die cut the cardbase by folding the cardstock and placing the cutting edge of the die just above the fold.

Staple the small ticket to the card. I also added some Simon Says Stamp Mini Stars.

I bit of gold embossing folder got stuck to the car. I like stray embossing powder, so I melted it as it was.

Adding a few embossed elements with metallic powders adds a nice finishing touch and an additional texture.
