Howdy!
It’s the first Friday of the month, so that means the amazing Demos of the Global Stamping Friends are having another hop! This month we are showcasing The Neutrals.
What are the Neutrals you ask? The Neutrals are, in order of appearance, Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Gray Granite, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate, and Soft Suede.
These are some very useful colors and most can be used in combination with any of the other color families that Stampin’ Up! has to offer!
The stamp set I used is Geared Up Garage. Yes! I really do love this stamp set and framelits…A LOT! If you have any doubts, or need other ideas on how to use it, you can check out the other posts here, here, here, and here! 😉 It’s just a perfect set for the guys in my life!
Here is my newest card creation:
Then on the inside, it looks like this. The top flap of the card was trimmed off a bit so that the smudge and navy line were part of the inside, too.
The materials used for this card are:
- Smokey Slate cardstock for the base
- Merry Merlot and Basic Gray cardstock for the gears
- Merry Merlot ink for the sentiment
- Night of Navy cardstock for the thin line across the bottom and ink for the smudge spots (it’s a stamp, not my mess)
- Basic Gray ink for the Crackle Paint background stamp
- Classic Garage DSP for the car and I used the car framelit from the Garage Gears framelit dies
- Geared Up Garage stamp set bundle
Feel free to shop in my store to get your hands on this amazing stamp set and framelit dies HERE or by clicking on the blue words in the list above! Don’t forget the DSP while you are at it! I sure trust this set makes it into the new Annual Catalog! We will find out soon! I’m not ready to stop using it! 😉
That is all I have for you today. I trust you enjoyed another creation from one of my all time favorite Occasions Catalog stamp sets! Now let’s hop on over to Tricia Butts blog and see what she created with The Neutrals!
Blessings, June

- The Male Room – #107 DIY (I had also designed this card with this challenge in mind, but it also closed before this blog hop went live, so I missed out. Bummer!
