Hi Guys! I’m Debbie with Debbie J’s Crafting Corner. Today, I’m bringing you a fun card that’s perfect for anyone who loves a vintage vibe. We’re using the Vintage Card Essentials from Scrappy Tails to create this super sweet card that could even work as a masculine card—something I don’t make nearly enough of!
Let’s dive right into how this card came together. First, I die-cut all the pieces, starting with the car. I went with a classic red cardstock to really make it pop. To give the car more dimension and make it sturdier, I added a couple of layers of white cardstock to the back. It’s all about those little touches that make a big difference!
Next up, I tackled the tires. These are really cool because they’re made up of three different dies. You’ve got the tire itself, the white wall, and the hubcap. One of the awesome things about Sabrina’s dies is how she etches guide marks into the dies so you know exactly where to place each piece. It’s such a handy feature that makes everything line up perfectly.
Once the car was assembled, I added some of the accent pieces like the side panels, front bumper, and windows. I chose a light blue cardstock for the windows, which gives the car a nice, vintage feel.
For the background, I found some patterned paper in my stash with a travel theme. I used my dot liner adhesive to attach it to my card base. The paper is a bit thin, but the adhesive worked perfectly without leaving any lines.
I also added a partial circle die-cut that I turned into a sunset. Using Simon Hurley inks in Shooting Star, Roar, Beesting, and Midnight Snack, I created a gorgeous ombre effect. I blended the colors together, working my way from the lightest at the bottom to the darkest at the top, and then reversed the order to get a smooth blend.
For the sentiment, I used the “Your Journey Has Just Begun” die from the Stacked Suitcase set, also from Scrappy Tails. I colored it in a similar ombre style to match the sunset background. Originally, I considered using red or white, but I’m glad I went with the blend of yellow, orange, and red—it really ties the card together.
All that was left was assembling the card. I used some foam tape to add dimension to the car and then placed the sentiment. A little trick I used: I lined up the words with some mint tape on my desk before gluing them down to ensure everything was perfectly straight.
As a finishing touch, I added a few little birds to the sky with a pen, just to fill in the space a bit more. And that’s it—this card turned out super sweet, and I think it’s perfect for anyone who appreciates a vintage style.
