While this card is meant for newlyweds, I think it’s appropriate for today. After all, we are beginning the journey through 2016.

I think the Beautiful Ride stamp set will be one of the most popular sets of the new Occasions catalog, because everyone I’ve talked to so far says it’s one of their favorites. The car alone is worth getting the set, but the accompanying images make it a must have.

The Going Places suite of products, on pages 38-39 of the new Occasions catalog, is a perfect accompaniment for this stamp set. Here I used a piece of the Designer Series Paper Stack as the background. I added a very thin Basic Black layer behind the DSP, and adhered it to a Real Red card base.

I stamped the car in black on Real Red card stock. I cut out the car, and cut out the windows with my Paper Snips, then backed them with a piece of Window Sheet. I filled in some details (tires, wheels, bumpers, door handle, mirror stem) with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker and a White Stampin’ Chalk Marker.

I stamped the luggage in black on Crumb Cake CS, cut it out with my Paper Snips, then filled in some details with Stampin’ Write markers in Smoky Slate (corners,) Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede, and Crumb Cake.

I stamped the cans in black on the strip of Very Vanilla CS, and colored them with a White Stampin’ Chalk Marker and Stampin’ Write Markers in Real Red, Crushed Curry, and Old Olive. I stamped the sentiment in black on the Very Vanilla strip. I matted the strip with Basic Black CS and glued it to the card front.

And finally, I adhered the car and luggage with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here’s what I used:

Thanks for stopping by today, Sweet Stamping, and Happy New Year!
