Just Driving By Birthday Card

Made a card for my nephew who just turned 16 and got his driver’s license! I mailed it off before I took a picture of the inside where I had put the sports car colored in red with the “You’ve got style” sentiment.

I used the Just Driving By stamp set which is FREE with a qualifying purchase. I used Basic White Thick for the card base and added Misty Moonlight cardstock embossed with the Tasteful Textiles 3-D embossing folder – one of my all time favorites!!  I cut the Crumb Cake cardstock with the Rectangle Stitched Dies – another favorite! I used Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Smoky Slate and Grey Granite Stampin Blends. I used the light Gray Granite blend on the windows.  The linen thread added the perfect final touch. 

I did a little stamp surgery because the original stamp said “driving by just to say hi”.  I cut off the “just” and the “hi” so my stamp said “driving by to say”.  Then I just added a Happy Birthday and it worked great!  This is the second surgery I have performed on this set LOL! I also cut the balloons off the sports car stamp (see my You Make My Heart Go Beep post below).  I think the finished card is a perfect masculine card.
