Greatest Journey


The Greatest Journey bundle is part of the Enjoy the Journey suite on pages 58-59 in the Jan-April Mini Catalog. This suite is perfect for people who love the outdoors as well as for making masculine cards. We used to take our children to Joshua Tree National Park every President's Day week to camp and hike, and this suite makes me think of those wonderful trips. For this card I used the silhouette of the mountain bike rider out of glimmer paper--there is also a silhouette of a backpacker and a runner and a tent. Come back tomorrow and see more cards I made with this suite. 


Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:
1. Starry Sky cardstock--Card base 4 1/4 by 11" scored on the long side at  5 1/2" and folded in along the score line.
2. Basic White cardstock 3 3/4 by 5" for the inside 
3. Enjoy the Journey DSP--4 by 5 1/4"
4. Basic Black cardstock--approximately 2 by 4 1/4"
5. 2022-24 In Color 6 by 6" Glimmer Paper
6. Stamp Set--Greatest Journey (#160588 for the stamp set or #160594 for the bundle)
7. Dies--Greatest Journey (#160593 or #160594 in the bundle)
8. Ink--Orchid Oasis, Whisper White, Memento Black
9. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue),  Regular and Mini  Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Paper Trimmer, Piercing Mat, Aqua Painter

Fold your card base in half. Die cut the mountain bike rider out of the Starry Sky Glimmer paper.

Use the long squiggly die and your Basic Black card stock to cut a mountain--you can make it as big or small as you'd like. Get a bit of the Whisper White ink either in the case or on a block. Add some water with the Aqua Painter and then, without squeezing it, just hit it against your finger or a pencil splattering some white on the black mountain. Set this aside to dry.

Using Memento Black ink, stamp the sentiment directly on to the DSP. If you make a mistake, just stamp it again on to Basic White and cut it out with a die or fussy cut it and place it over your boo-boo.

Attach the DSP to the front of the card, then attach the black mountain. Note that I made it to go the full 4 1/4" and made it go down to the bottom of the card--I liked it with no border on the bottom. Attach the mountain bike using Regular and Mini Dimensionals. I like that the person is doing a wheely!



For the inside, stamp the trees in Orchid Oasis on to the Basic White cardstock and stamp them again without re-inking. This is called second generation stamping. Attach this to the inside of your card. 


This is my Facebook Live from 1/16/23 where I make this card and show you some tips to help with the cardmaking. Join me every Monday at 1 pm PST for some cardmaking fun over on Stamp with Dr Robin on Facebook. Or follow me on YouTube with the same name.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
