I loved using the Geared Up Garage stamps and dies when they were first released, but I have to admit that they have been neglected and left on the shelf for a few months (plenty of distractions from pretty new things is my excuse!). However, for the person I have in mind, this set is the perfect set to make a card with.
The designer series paper that initially accompanied this set is no longer available, but I remember it fondly and so I have used the stamps in the set to pay homage to it. I have stamped the washers in Pretty Peacock and Basic Grey on Smokey Slate card and the oil spill is stamped in Silver Delicata ink on black card. Then, I used the Stitched Shapes dies to cut out two squares from each of the patterns. These were mounted alternately on a piece of Pretty Peacock, creating a larger stitched edge square. The set of Garage Gears dies has several individual cogs to choose from and one large set of interlocking cogs that can be cut out as one piece. Doesn't this large die look impressive when it is cut out of silver foil?
The Happy Birthday sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday set is stamped on to a die cut Stitched Rectangle. There are lots of dies used to create this little card, but it all adds to the coordination. The stitched dies are my favourite, and most used, dies and the Garage Gears are a must because they team up with the stamps!
While I had a pile of coordinating elements on my desk I continued to craft and created a pile of mini birthday celebration cards. I have used similar colours and also stamped and die cut the car. Now my dilemma is, which one do I send first?
