Motorcycle "Bridge" Card

I created this fun fold card with a new to me stamp set

I bought specifically to use for my son's birthday.

It's called One Wild Ride and is by Stampin' Up!

Although it is new to me, the set has been available

since 2016.

It's actually a pretty easy card to make.

The trickiest part was getting the front panel

stuck in the right position -

until it hit me:

fold the card flat to adhere it.

I was trying to do it while it was 

in the folded, upright position.

Silly me! 

Sorry, I didn't take step by step photos,

but you should be able to figure it out

using the diagram and photos below.

I also used the old Sanded background stamp (2008?)

and screw head stamp from Nailed It (2017),

both also SU! sets.

The embossing folder is Diamond Plate by Darice.

Some sponging, heat embossing

detail work with markers plus dimensionals

finish it off. 

You could easily make a small pocket

to hold a sliding out sentiment and signed piece

or even a gift card  / cash.

Glue it to the center panel.

Here is a tip:

save the scraps from the new CLING mount stamps

to cut into pieces and use on the old not so sticky

CLEAR mount stamp sets by Stampin' Up!

It worked great!

When I was assembling my new Geared Up Garage cling stamp set,

I wondered if I could perhaps use pieces of the scraps to

place over the backs of the also new to me One Wild Ride

stamp set. It is the clear mount style. I've never had luck with

sticking this type to acrylic blocks, preferring to buy wood mount stamps still.

It does take a little bit of work,

especially peeling apart the pieces if you

don't have much fingernail length like myself ;)

Just be sure to note the difference between the sides

so you stick the correct side to your stamps.

Peel away the shiny side, stick the clear sticky film

to your stamp then remove the dull side. 

I'd like to take a moment to remind drivers to
