Hello, cafe friends! Our usual Sunday bike ride got moved to Saturday this weekend, as we knew that rain was expected to come today. A good day for growing grass, but not a good day for biking.
Rainy days are good days for making cards...like this bike card! I recently sold and bought a bike set. First, I sold the Papertrey Ink stamps and dies for Pedal Pusher. It was a cute set, but it was really difficult to use. Add closed dies to that combination, and it made it even tougher still.
So I sold that set and purchased the stamp set Bike Ride from Stampin' Up. I had seen so many simple, cute cards with this set. Easy to layer, easy to die cut, stamp alone without die cuts...so many options!
For today's card, I used some Stampin' Up embossing folders to create the sky and sidewalk.
{Today's Brew: Bike Ride stamps and dies (SU), embossing folders (SU), Lawn Fawn grass die and banner die with sentiment, PTI inks and card stock}
This bike was inspired by Sam's vintage style city commuter bike...I love the green!
This weekend was the historic home tour in Saline. I missed it in the morning, but we are still able to enjoy the homes that are marked along the route downtown. SO many pretty homes to see! Here are just a few.
We explored some of the subdivisions and neighborhoods around town, admiring all the beautiful blossoming trees and spring flowers.
Next time, I will try to take photos of more of the historic homes. I am a confessed house junkie! Hopefully, the townsfolk don't report me for stalking them. ha ha!
Blessings on your Sunday, cafe friends!
PTI's Pedal Pusher was on my wish list forever and when the purchasing the stamps and dies together became impossible was removed. Thanks for the info on its difficult usage. I ordered the Hero Arts MMH kit this winter with a bike and floral shop stamps. It's been fun to use. Once again I enjoy my MI tours with you.
