Casually Crafting - February 2022

   

I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share.  We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper.  Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month.  I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!

Today's theme is a colour challenge:


I decided to use the Driving By Stamp Set from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure.  It seemed like a perfect opportunity to create a fun Z fold card.  I did some fussy cutting for the vehicles so they look like they are driving across the card.  The New Horizon Designer Series Paper make a perfect background!

You can get this stamp set for free during Sale-a-Bration with a $60 order until February 28, 2022.


Instructions
  1. Cut Crumb Cake card stock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".  Fold in half on  5 1/2" score line and then fold the flap back the 2 3/4" score line.
  2. Cut Rich Razzleberry card stock 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to the inside of the card
  3. Cut Designer Series Paper 3 3/4" x 5" and adhere to the inside of the card
  4. Cut 2 pieces of Rich Razzleberry card stock 2 1/2" x 4" and adhere to the 2 front flaps.
  5. Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" and adhere to the 2 front flaps.
  6. Cut Crumb Cake card stock 1 1/4" x 11" and score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".
  7. Adhere to the card base with the long edge on the front and 2 shorter sections towards the back.  Check out my Youtube Video for tips on how to adhere this piece to the card base.
  8. Stamp vehicles on Basic White card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Colour using Blends - Old Olive, Smoky Slate, Rich Razzleberry, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight.
  9. Cut out vehicles using Paper Snips 
  10. Adhere to Z fold Band using Dimensionals
  11. Stamp sentiment on a scrap of Basic White card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
