A new twist on Classic Road Legends

Today I am back with another project for Spellbinders. This time I’m working with the Classic Road Legends collection and I am working with three products from the collection. These are the Classic Car die set, the Timeless Truck die set and the Classic Sentiments die set. I created an anniversary card and a birthday card in this classic style.

Using the car from the Classic Road Legends collection.

My first card features the car and I decided to create a car with a difference. Much like we can create flowers in any color in card making, what is stopping us from doing the same with vehicles. I pulled out my pad of shimmer cardstock and created a teal car with a cream roof. Using metallic silver cardstock, I cut all the “chrome” parts of the car and used black and dark gray for the tires.

To complete this card, I embossed a piece of kraft cardstock with a radiating embossing folder and placed the car in the middle. To let the background be visible, I made a 5×7 card. The sentiment on the card was created with the sentiments die set from the Classic Road Legends collection which I cut out of white cardstock with a black shadow.

My second card is an A2 sized card and on here I used the Timeless Truck die set. I again used metallic silver cardstock for the chrome parts, black for the tires and use red for the body. I thought this just had to be red!!

I used two patterned papers for the background, choosing colors that let the red truck pop. I completed the card with a sentiment again cut from the Classic Sentiments die set. I love using white on black for sentiments as they pop off about any background.

  1. These two cards are so classy and great.
    The chrome bits, the cream roof, the tires, the teal chassis,… all looks so great. And the red for the truck is just brilliant. 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
