Imagine JT & Nifty Fifties

'Your cruisin' card


Card base 6 x 6 Bazzill cardstock (black)

Base mat JT imagine cartridge

Pattern page 42 handbook

Printed and cut @ 5.9

Inner mat (black) Bazzill card stock

cut @ 5 1/4 inch square

White mat cut @ 5 inch square and

edged - Martha Stewart Punch around the page 'Cracks'

The card title was printed and cut using the Imagine

and the JT color palette.

Phrase 'cruisin' page 46 Nifty Fifties handbook

I printed and cut the phrase 'get your kicks' page 38

handbook and used the word 'your' for the title.

For the car I used the Nifty Fifties cartridge

page 46 handbook. The car was printed and cut @ 2.5 inches.

I selected RGB code Red 225 Green 16 Blue 57 for the car body.

For the windscreen I used Red 199 Green 223 Blue 193.

I embossed the tyres using the Cuttlebug folder 'Mesh'.

The bumper for the car was printed and cut 4 times then adhered

together for 3D effect. I used the grey from the JT color palette for the bumper.

An Action Wobble was used to adhere the car to the card.

For the inside of the card I printed and cut a 5.9 square mat

using the same pattern selected for the front of the card.

I adhered a white mat cut @ 5 1/2 inch square

on top of the patterned mat. A place to write a personal message

to my son when he obtains his drivers licence.

Scrapbook layout 'In the Park'

How I created the frog for this layout

Using the Sizzix Sizzle dies Nature set I cut out the frog 3 times

using brown for the base, red for the frogs tongue

and Echo Park 'A walk in the PARK' tree tops for the top layer.

I cut the top part of the red frogs head and adhered it under the

top layer making sure to overlap the tongue onto the front of the

top layer. I inked around the edge of the frog using

Versa Color 55 Umber. I put pop dots under the top part of the

frogs face to give it a 3D effect. I glued the body flat onto the

base cutout. For the frogs legs I curled the paper under. To do that

I just used my fingers to manipulate the paper the way I wanted it.

The last thing I did was to glue on the frogs eyes.

The Happy Birthday was cut from the Image More Cards
