City Streets Friendship Card with Lexa

Hi everyone! Lexa here with a pretty city scene using the City Streets stamp and coordinating dies. Honestly, I wasn't sure what should I do with this stamp set at first glance. I mean look how detailed and tiny all the elements are--I might get in some trouble coloring them. BUT...everything changed when I started to imagine how I would like the buildings to look. It reminds me my college time.  Did you know that I majored in architecture? So yeah, this set has some kind of special connection with me. I'm wondering if some of you will understand how I feel. :)

I love spending time with my girls.  Time pasts really fast every time I'm with them. That's the inspiration for today's card...Hanging out until the sun sets with a pretty pink sky like the ones often seen from where I live. I blended Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks on smooth white cardstock as my background. I'm still learning the how-to blend them smoothly. I also flicked some water for the white spots.

All the images are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and watercolored with Distress Markers. I use a super fine tip brush and had to be extra careful so the inks won't bleed. Instead of using black cardstock for the street, I choose black polka-dot patterned paper. I love anything in polka-dots. Hehe. For a last touch I used some Wink of Stella glitter and glossy accent on every window.

I hope you like it.  Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

City Streets Masculine Car Card with Vanessa

Hi everyone!  Vanessa here with a masculine card using City Streets. 

I don't know about you, but I have problems creating cards suitable for men. Most of them don't like the cute, overloaded stuff. But just by using the right colors and keeping it clean & simple, I think this one would be ok for a guy.

I stamped the shops onto a panel of watercolor paper that I had trimmed slightly smaller than my grey card base and colored them with grey watercolor. Now I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from Sock Hop onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered both, the panel and the strip, to the card. Then I stamped and colored the car and die-cut it with the matching dies. It is so difficult to see it, but I added Glossy Accents to the car to make it shine. Finally, I adhered the image to the card with foam tape and finished the card off with matching sequins. 

I hope you like today's inspiration! The City Streets set is so fun, don't you think? Thank you for stopping by today!

City Streets Interactive Spinning Car Card with Lindsey

Hi! Lindsey here today with a fun interactive card using the cool new stamp set City Streets. I loved the little car and scooter in this set, so that took center stage on my card. I wanted the cars to be able to "drive", so let's take a closer look at how I accomplished that. 

I started off with an A2 size stitched rectangle in light blue. Then, I stamped the different buildings from City Streets all over the rectangle in a blue dye ink. I set that aside and cut a large and small stitched circle, the large from grey cardstock and small from white. I stamped and colored five of the little cars in the set. After cutting the cars out with the coordinating die, I adhered them to the large grey circle which I considered the road. I stamped the greeting, scooter and dog on the small white circle. I bent the greeting to follow the line of the circle. 

Once all my pieces were ready, it was time to assemble the card. I pushed a brad through the center of the circle and then through the center of the blue rectangle. This will allow the grey circle with the cars to spin. I then adhered the white circle to the top of the brad. This way, the grey circle can spin, but the white circle stays stationary. I decided that the card needed a little something extra to bring it all together, so I put a red scalloped piece of cardstock behind the blue rectangle panel. That's it! 

I just love how this card turned out. I hope you'll try your own interactive card and check out this fun stamp set. Don't forget to keep checking back to the blog for more inspiration using these fun new stamp sets. Have a great day!

City Streets: Let's Have some Coffee by Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here.
Today's card features the City Street Stamp set. What a great and versatile set!

I started the card by chosing a color scheme from my Copics: I decided to go with shades of lime green, turquoise and aqua. I stamped the café because I knew I wanted to go with the caffee theme. But I also stamped ALL the accessoires, some even twice, so I had a good variation to choose from.

Fo the background I did some inkbending but it became a little bit blotchy. But I arranged the images and realized that it wouldn't occur to someone who don't know.
I arranged the images the way I liked it and stamped the sentiment. For the cardbase I chose a macthing cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.
