Happy New Year! Happy 2017! I hope your evening was safe and happy. I can assure you I was in bed hours before the clock struck midnight. There’s no better way to spend an evening. 🙂 I’m kicking off the new year with a card that combines a fun, new bundle from the 2017 Occasions Catalog (Custom Tee Bundle, which combines the Custom Tee photopolymer stamp set with T-Shirt Builder Framelits Dies) with a fun, new stamp set from the 2017 Sale-a-Bration Brochure (Tasty Trucks). I combined them with a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and a fun set of papers from the Annual Catalog (Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack). Here’s my card:
And here’s the banner for the FMS challenge that inspired my card:
This is the second project I’ve made for this Freshly Made Sketches challenge – here’s the first one, which featured the Special Reason Bundle from the 2017 Occasions Catalog (you can click on the photo to read more about this card):
Tips, Tricks and Reminders
- Custom Tee Bundle. How cute is this shirt? There are three shirts (a guy’s tee, a girl’s tee and a tank top) in the set and lots of fun ways to embellish the shirt. Dress it up with suspenders and buttons or dress it down with a fun saying, this set is perfect for casual, fun projects. To make things even better, there’s a great sentiment stamp set in the Sale-a-Bration brochure that pairs with the Custom Tees images. So many great ways to combine these stamps and dies. Here’s a look at the set:
Custom Tee Bundle, Stampin’ Up!
- Tasty Trucks. The fun sentiment on the t-shirt and the coordinating image of an adorable taco are from a 2017 Sale-a-Bration stamp set – a photopolymer set with a sweet food truck and 15 other images – hot dogs, pancakes, cupcakes. I don’t have a graphic of the stamp set yet, but I can assure you it’s adorable. Because my card is a square, I created an envelope with my Envelope Punch Board and Whisper White 12″ x 12″ Cardstock. Just a tiny, little taco on the edge of the envelope flap was enough to decorate this envelope to say “there’s something fun and sweet inside.”
- Color Combination. I adore these colors from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack. I’ve used these papers together before (they are the same design with different colors) – in my other card, I also paired these papers with Crumb Cake and a thin, white border. If you’d like to see that card, CLICK HERE. If you like this combination of colors as much as I do, please save this:
Stamp Sets: Custom Tee, Tasty Truck Papers: Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Whisper White, Thick Whisper White Inks: Archival Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Delightful Dijon Accessories: Blender Pen, T-Shirt Builder Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I hope you’ll pop over to the Freshly Made Sketches site to see the cards by the design team members and to play along with this week’s challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy New Year, Brian! We, too, we’re asleep hours before the new year. We’d gone on a wonderful nature walk for a few house during the day and that was “our” celebration!
Oops! Maybe I am up too early because I missed the “auto-correct” mistakes in my first comment!
What a fun set to start the New Year! It will be fun seeing how many stamp set will fit perfect on these shirts. I bet their is one for every occasion in our inventory.
Happy New Year Brian!
