Hello everyone.
I am back with a Father’s Day card design using the Geared Up Garage stamp set (item #148590) and coordinating dies (item #148521). This is a fabulous stamp set for the men in your life. What man or teenage boy is not fascinated by some aspect of a car – whether it be simple maintenance to keep it running, rebuilding an engine or the entire car or simply driving a car.
When this stamp set first came out, there was a coordinating pack of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper but it has since retired. So, in my Facebook Live crafting session of May 16, I demonstrated how to create a background using stamps and ink. You can watch the video here.
I’ve made several cards with the set for birthdays and it’s always a big hit.
The coordinating die set allows you to cut out many of the images and when adhered to your card with dimensionals, they add more visual interest.
Cutting & Scoring Measurements
Card Base: Whisper White 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored in half at 4-1/4″
1st Layer: Basic Black 4″ x 5-1/4″
2nd Layer: Whisper White 3-3/4″ x 5″
Scrap black to cut out scalloped square die
Scrap Whisper White for stamping
For the greeting: Whisper White 3-3/4″ x 1″; Basic Black 4″ x 1-1/4″
If you’d like to purchase any of the supplies used in my project, shop my online store and be sure to add the Host Code for the month of May: MBXCGTK3.
Now hop on over to the next blog post to see that project.

Absolutely great card for the guys in our lives! thank you Erica – love it!
Thank you so much. It was a little more work but well worth it.
Great card! Thanks for showing how to use without the co-ordinating DSP … I find once the DSP is retired I am kind of lost so I appreciate your inspiration!

I agree. It's the best option especially when the stamp set carries over to a new catalogue but the paper is gone. And don't forget to use different colours too. Then you are totally recreating our DSP.
