Trains and planes

 Today's card is for a friend of my hubby's who likes all things history so this is what I came up with for him. The images and sentiments are from the same stamp set, I stamped them onto my pattern paper. Our stamp group is doing a challenge to use up our old paper pads, I think I was able to use up quite a few papers from this pack.


  • Technique Tuesday - All Aboard stamps
  • Cosmo Cricket - Fleuriste paper
  • Spellbinders - Large Deckled Rectangles and Labels trio dies


Hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend, we had a little bit of everything yesterday, sun, hot temps then rain and cooler temps.  Today looks like it will be a lot of the same.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

The papers, the stamps and those deckled edge dies really go together perfectly! It is a great idea to stamp on the patterned paper and not just use it for backgrounds to use up more of it! Very nice card!

What a clever idea to use up paper pads (Lord knows I need to do something like this!). And, what a fabulous card these panels made! I'm sure he will treasure your creativity!! Nicely done my friend!

What a perfect card for your husband's friend and I need to do the same and try and use some very OLD pads too, a great idea!!

What a great way of showcasing vintage items commemorating a history-enthusiast's birthday, Connie! Like you, we recently enjoyed a brief rain storm - about .5 inch. We were grateful because it is our seasonal wildfire threat - something that happens every Spring here. Thank you for leaving your kind comment on my blog. I appreciate you! hugs, de

A very nice card for hubby. I love the paper background. I find it so difficult to find papers to use for masculine cards.

This is fabulous! My dad would have loved this card. Sorry I've been MIA lately. The weather has been decent, so I've been spending a lot of time outside. Warm weather goes by way too quickly for me not to get out and enjoy it.

The stamps look fabulous on the paper. It's one of my favourite cards made by you.
