Wheelie Happy Birthday - Stampin' Up!® Along These Lines

   Guy cards can be hard so when my stampers ask for more guy cards at class I try to deliver.  I loved how this one turned out!  I think it can be easily CASEd even if you don't have the stamp set; use the color combo or the layout and use a stamp set that fits or change out the colors to the recipients favorites.  And the opportunity for dad jokes and terrible puns is there too if you want to go in that direction (as you can see by the title of this one!).

    I started with a Cloud Cover base then used the Party Banners dies to make a long narrow banner out of Florals in Bloom DSP.  The B sides to this paper pack are lovely small patterns that work beautifully for cards.  This one is in a Secret Sea pattern which works perfectly for a guy card. 

  Next I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Summer Splash square.  The stitching details along the edge is a great way to add interest without extra layers. Using the long line stamp in the Along These Lines stamp set I stamped stripes across the square in the same color ink.  

  The next layer is a Basic White rectangle that the bicycle is stamped on in Memento Black.  Some of the bicycle details are colored in with markers.  The short line stamp is used to extend the bike lines off the cardstock.  This layer is popped up with dimensionals.  

  A small Party Banner die cut in Timid Tiger is stamped with the sentiment from Choose Happy and is tucked under the edge of the Basic White layer.

 Finally a few 2025-2025 In Color Flat Pearls are added to the corner.  Since 3 of the 4 colors of this card are 2025-2027 In Colors you have several choices to use with this pack of embellishments.  And speaking of In Colors don't forget that this group of In Colors is 15% off the rest of August.  Which color are you stocking up on?  Me?  I can't choose just one so I'm getting all of them!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
