Continuing to use cards sets from my card kit binder, I decided to make a "Road Trip" card for someone special. The papers & compass transparency were from a card maker's personal shopper set. The "Road Trip" was a copper embossed piece I got a long time ago from HOTP. To cut the hole out of the center, I used a Spellbinder's die (Labels 29).
On the inside, I added a little pocket with a flap - so I can include some spending money for their trip, but it won't fall out of place. The paper was glimmer paper from my stash. The embossing was done with an old Cuttlebug embossing folder. I just scored & folded it so it would work, using a circle punch part-way on the inside to create a place where they can easily use their fingers to get to the money.
Next up is a birthday card. Unfortunately, the light makes this one harder to see. The circle in the upper left corner says "Just for You". This card was made using freebie papers from a magazine, and that circular sentiment came with them. I added white border Dazzles to edge the borders. The sentiment is stamped and die cut with JustRite stamps/dies (Your Special Day Medallion Labels stamps & Oval Medallion dies). I matted this with white card stock that I cut with the next larger die & colored the edge with a marker.
The inside uses more of the paper & a leftover Hunkydory greeting.
This final card is made using patterned paper from my stash. The focal was made using JustRite stamps & dies ("Celebrate Today Vintage Labels Four" stamps & matching dies). I heat embossed it in gold, then used a black Sharpie to color in portions of it. A ribbon from my stash forms the horizontal border that the focal sits on. Border stickers frame the card front.
The inside uses more of the paper & border stickers - along with a tag left over from the previous card - that I stamped using a stamp from "Enjoy the Day Vintage Labels Four" from JustRite.
