Love Truck Bunny

Hello again everyone! I've got a fun little card today that I think could possibly be used for a masculine birthday.

Inside of card

Paper Rose Studio Supplies Used:  Love Truck Builder Metal Cutting Die 28843, Trevor and Friends Clear Stamp 26119, Black & White A5 12pc Sentiment Sheets 19023, Happy Birthday Chunky Script Stamp Set 24640

I started this card by creating a background for the truck and bunny to star in.  I'm terrible at drawing so please excuse my very amateurish background!  But I just wanted you to get the impression the bunny was driving down a dirt road, so hopefully, that came across.  The bunny was stamped from the Trevor and Friends stamp set (he's the one at the left elbow of Trevor), and I was careful to wipe away the ink from his arms when I stamped him.  I could still faintly see where his left arm would have been, so I used a Copic pen to fill that arm back in.  After colouring him in with Copic markers, I cut him out.  

I die cut the Love Truck from white cardstock and coloured it in with Copic markers, and I also cut extra hearts to have fall out the back of the truck. I used silver foiled cardstock for the bar across the bottom of the truck.  Once I had the truck assembled, I inserted the bunny into the driver's seat and glued him in place so it looked like he was holding the steering wheel.  I popped the truck up on foam tape for added dimension and then attached it to the background panel. Then I used glue to attach the hearts, making it look like they were falling out the back as he raced by.  The sentiment was cut from the Black & White sentiment sheet, and I just thought it was a really fun and different sentiment to go with the image.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment with black ink.  I had stamped and coloured in the Trevor stamp image onto Neenah 80# Solar White cardstock, and coloured it in with my Copic markers. Finally, I fussy cut the image out and glued it into place above the inside sentiment. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and I hope I've given you a little inspiration.  That Love Truck is a really sweet little die!

Trevor and Friends Card

Paper Rose Studio Supplies Used:  Trevor and Friends Stamp Set, Triple Banner Metal Die, Super Day Sentiments Clear Stamp, and the Big Bloom Stencil.  Other Supplies Used:  Copic markers; Distress Oxide inks in Lucky Clover, Twisted Citron, and Evergreen Bough; Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste, and Ranger Glossy Accents.

 

Hello and welcome back everyone!  I've got a friendship card to share with you today that features the adorable Trevor and Friends stamp from Paper Rose Studio. I wanted some interest on the background, and since I didn't have any patterned paper with polka dots, I decided to create my own.  The Big Bloom stencil was perfect for this.  Using only the spotted background part of the stencil, I used finger daubers to dab on the Distress Oxide ink in a random pattern over the card front.  I just kept rotating the stencil until I had covered the entire card front.  I used the same inks to randomly cover one of the Triple Banner die cut as well (I actually cut three of these to stack up).  Once the ink on the banner die cut was dry, I applied a layer of the Moonstone Glimmer Paste over it and let that dry.

I used Copic markers to colour in the stamped image, and added some Glossy Accents to the coffee cup to add some gloss. Finally, I fussy cut around the bunny's nose on the left side of the image as I wanted to pop the two outside bunnies heads up on foam tape to add a little dimension.  It's hard to see that dimension in the photo, but it is there in real life.

Next, I stamped the Super Day sentiments onto the banner die cutouts.  I used my stamp positioner for this, and slightly shaped the stamps to follow along the wave of the diecuts.  I clear heat embossed the sentiments.  Then I glued the three banner diecuts together with the coloured one on top. 

To assemble the card, I glued the stamped and coloured image at the top and used foam tape behind the bunnies' heads on the left and right. Then I glued the stacked Banner die cuts beneath the image.  Finally, I glued the sentiment pieces in place and glued the card front down to the card base.  That's such a sweet image and I could see it being used for so many occasions!
