Hi Friends! I recently shared an easy card, using the new “Mountain Air” stamp set, and I promised to share a ‘stepped up’ version – well, here it is!
As soon as I saw the “Pedal to the Metal” and “Mountain Air” stamp sets in our new 2020 Mini Catalogue, I KNEW I wanted to make a card using both of them together.
What FUN this card was to make! The first card I made (above) is for my sweetheart, for Valentine’s day (trust me, he’d rather have a card with a truck on it, than hearts! LOL). The inside is stamped with a “Happy Valentine’s Day” and “I love our life together.”
I decided to make the same card for my Dad’s upcoming 70th birthday, which is the card I demonstrate in the video. Both my Dad and my BF have blue trucks, so I really didn’t change up the cards too much. I think I prefer the second card I made, for my dad, to be honest – I like the brighter sky. I can’t decide though if I like the die-cut mountains best in Basic Gray or Smoky Slate inks but I think both colours work.
Each card took me about an hour to make, but I enjoyed every minute of it! Here’s how I made them:
PS: Thanks to a viewer’s comment on my video, I realized the ‘earth’ on the card doesn’t make too much sense does it? HAHAH! I should have made a sun instead (or even the moon). Oh well! What can I say? I had too much fun making the earth so just ‘go with it’, k? LOL
The sentiments I used on my Dad’s card are from past “Paper Pumpkin” sets. I stamped the envelope for my dad’s card too and used a mailing label for his address.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card demonstration! I’ll be back on Monday, have a fabulous weekend!

HAPPY STAMPING!
Wow, these are fantastic!! I tried CASing your card and learned alot of what not to do along the way! LOL. I'm pretty happy with it though, so much to look at, my daughter's boyfriend will love it.
