Motorcycle Stamp Archives - Libby Fens, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Out for a Saturday drive, motorcycle man? Here in Texas, it’s a beautiful, cold morning! So enjoy that brisk ride!

I made this card for a new to me challenge, Try Stampin’ On Tuesday. This is their latest challenge, #114. Pop over, come back, tell me what you think? Identical to the sketch, right? I just rotated mine.

I used a retired Stampin’ Up, Motorcycle stamp for this challenge. Yes, I used it a few days ago, but I’m still playing around with it. And, it’s one of those things, I have (borrowed) it, now what am I going to do with it? So, seeing several posts using this stamp, will make you pull it out and use it or go on a quest to find it! Lol!

I started with a Naturals White base then added Basic Grey and the stripes through the center use the Chevron Embossing Folder. Pretty simple. It’s a manly card, so no frills here, just thrills! The circles are some non Stampin’ Up framelits, Spellbinders, I believe.

Happy Stampin’

Happy birthday, motorcycle man!

I am playing around with this stamp and lovin’ it! To bad it’s on loan. I was asked to make some surprise birthday invitations with a motorcycle theme. Well, not sure what I will actually make, but this sure is nice! I like to play around with a new stamp to get the feel and to see how it stamps.

I got my inspiration today from Seize the Birthday. Similar card challenge from last week, but this time it’s for men. So, more clean. More simple. More manly. And, no frills. I think I accomplished that here.

I used a variety of retired items here. The Motorcycle stamp is retired. The greeting came from a retired stamp set, It’s Your Birthday. I have several current birthday stamp sets, but none matched the simplicity of this card. That’s just what it need. Simple. Clean. No frills. And, this retired ‘Happy Birthday’ did the trick.

The silver strip? Metal Repair Foil Tape, found at the hardware store. Pretty cool stuff. Adhesive backed and all. Kind of cool! I’ll need to practice working with it more. I ran it through using an embossing folder. Not sure what it’s called. It’s not Stampin’ Up. It looks like metal. It was hard to photograph evenly here. But, trust me, in person, it looks stellar! It’s one sweet card!

Happy Stampin’
