Masculine birthday card

Masculine birthday card. The Ready Set Go stamp set is a stand alone photopolymer stamp set for anyone who loves motor sport, or speed or fast cars. It’s especially great for making masculine birthday cards. There are great images which not only feature racing cars, but also include checkered flags and a traffic cone and some great sentiments.

How I achieved perfect repeat stamping

I was heartbroken when Stampin’ Up! discontinued selling the Stamparatus! Here’s their latest new big thing – the Stampin’ Positioner! I’ve had a play and it’s the bees knees! I used it to create this masculine birthday card with repetitive stamping without re-inking to create the dark to lighter shades of the same image as pictured below.
