Three minute Pedal Presents

Good morning! It's Thursday and that means it's time for a fast card here. Today I'm using one of my favourite sets in the summer mini catalogue for a one layer birthday card that would suit quite a few people I know, male and female. Come and have a look:


When I saw this bicycle I squawked! What a fantastic image! It comes with a basket on the front that you can fill with presents, hearts, flowers, a cake etc, all of which are provided. I wanted the bike without the basket for this card though so I quickly coloured the parts of the rubber I did want with an Early Espresso marker and stamped it onto a Crumb Cake card base.


These balloons come with the set too and I think they look celebratory tied to the front of the bike! The balloons and the bike were coloured with a Poppy Parade marker - this colour is so perfect for colouring on kraft card stock. Using a ruler, I marked off the 'ground' with a Crumb Cake marker and doodled a bit of detail under the line.


Finally I stamped the sentiment onto Whisper White card stock, cut it off with my trimmer and made ribbon tails on each side with a square punch.

Pedal Presents is one of the exclusive sets that you can earn for free when you host a qualifying party, or make an order of £150 or more (this can be a single or group order), or order as part of my Stampers 6 club.

Here's what you'll need to make today's card:
Stamps: Pedal Presents (hostess set) Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Early Espresso
Card stock: Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Other: Markers, square punch, stamp-a-majig
I'd be delighted to order any of these items for you and can have them delivered to your address in the UK. I'm committed to providing excellent customer service and am always happy to offer help and advice. To place your order, just send me an email or give me a call on 01280 820593.

I'm as busy as a bee at the moment preparing for my in-laws' golden wedding anniversary. There's lots to do - not least of which is some baking and preparing of food! There might be the odd foodie photo coming up in the next week so brace yourselves!

See you tomorrow when I'll have a little gift to show you.

Hugs,

  18. great card Vicky - I love your 3 minute series (although I doubt I'd make any of them in 3 minutes I'm just too slow a crafter!) The balloons remind me of a European film we watched at school.
