Hello! Today I am sharing my second project for
January with the theme All About the Girls.
When I
ordered the Honey Bee stamp set Little Pickup from Neha, I knew I had to create
with it right away! It kind of screams to be used on a card for a bloke, but
the set itself is so versatile with all the sweet additions you can have loaded
into the back of the ute. I figured that pink and frills are not for all girls…but
(I think) most of us like to receive flowers!
There are
words from the Honey Bee Sending You Sentiments stamp set that coordinate with
this set which can be used for a celebration, a get well, a heads up on a change of address
and on an occasion when you want to lift someone’s spirits.
This card
uses Neenah Classic Crest 110lb Smooth Solar White Paper for the base which is
cut at 4 ¼“ x 11” and scored at 5 ½“ to make a side folding card of 5 ½“ x 4
¼”.
I applied
Tumbled Glass and Broken China Ranger Distress Inks directly to the top half of
the card base with a Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool to create a sky back ground.
I coloured the area in Peeled Paint Ranger Distress Ink that would be seen
behind the track.
The hills with
tree trunks were die cut with the Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts Stitched Tree Borders and
I also used the coordinating Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts Grassy Hillside Borders for
the foreground of the scene. These pieces were coloured with Shabby Shutters
and Peeled Paint Ranger Distress Ink as were the green leaf pieces for the
trees. I coloured the tree trunks with a Ranger Distress marker in Gathered
Twigs.
On each
piece – the sky, hill and two layers of grass, I squirted water using my Ranger
Distress Sprayer which left the splotchy texture.
I took the
first layering piece with the trees and die cut a track into it for the ute (pickup truck) to
move along. The Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts Slide On Over set also coordinates, however
I wanted the track to be a little longer than the die would allow. I placed the
piece into the Sizzix Bigshot so that the right side of the die was hanging outside
the sandwich of the plates so that it would not be cut.

| Please excuse the state of the plates! |
I then flipped the die
around and matched it up with the cut piece and again ensured that the die would
not cut at that end by leaving it outside the plates. This enabled me to have a longer
track along the card.

| Again, please excuse the state of the plates!! |
I stamped
the ute and flowers from Honey Bee Stamps Little Pickup with my MISTI stamping
tool in Memento Tuxedo black ink onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured the
ute and flowers with Copic markers. The flowers and ute were then diecut using
the coordinating Honey Bee Little Pickup dies.
I chose 'a little pickup' sentiment from Honey Bee
Stamps Sending You Sentiments and stamped in Versamark ink using the MISTI
stamping tool to assist with placement and embossed with Hero Arts white embossing
powder using the Wagner heat tool.
As the ute
is a large image, I cut four cardstock discs with the My Favorite Things Surf
and Turf dies so that I could secure it in two places. I glued a My Favorite
Things Spin & Slide Disc onto two of the cardstock discs with Ranger Multi
Medium matte and placed them into the tracks underneath so the Spin & Slide
discs were facing up. The other cardstock discs were then adhered onto the other
side of the Spin & Slide discs. At this point, both ran freely along the
track. I placed them apart so the ute could then be glued to the discs in a
sturdy position.
I then
adhered this layer to the card base using 3M Scotch Double-Sided Foam Tape and
used it also to adhere the first layer of grass in order to give the ute
clearance to move along the track. I adhered the final piece directly using Ranger
Multi Medium matte and added the single flowers along the bottom of the card.
I finished
off the card by diecutting three of the 'Sending
you' sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Sending You Sentiments die set from white
cardstock and layered them together, adhering the words to the card base using
Ranger Multi Medium matte. With a lick of Zig A Wink of Stella in clear over
the sentiment, the card was complete.
