Ready to Ride … Across the Miles

I don’t ride motorcycles (I barely drive my car anymore), but I once owned a highlighter yellow scooter. Still, I’m drawn to the colors and patterns in the Ready to Ride Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love the shiny designs and retro graphics in this pack of papers – such fun! I couldn’t resist making this card with some of the pages from this paper:

There’s a fun mix of elegant, retro and masculine patterns in the Ready to Ride Specialty Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at these pages:

The rider on my card is cropped right from a page in the Ready to Ride Specialty Designer Series Paper. There are eleven unique panels on this 12″ x 12″ page, which makes this page so fun. Here’s a closer look (you can click on the image below to flip through all of the pages in my online store):

I cropped the 5″ x 3″ image from the panel above, framed it with Pumpkin Pie cardstock and mounted it on the panel of hex nuts showcased on the back of the paper. It’s a simple design I know. Picking a sentiment would be SO FUN!

The first sentiment I landed on was “SMILES ACROSS THE MILES” from the Sending Smiles stamp set. A lot of cyclists go on long trips across many miles. I feel certain this card would be a perfect way to say “I miss you while you are away.” Here’s a look at the bundle I pulled this sentiment from:

I found a couple of other sentiments I liked and FELL IN LOVE with this one:

HOW FUN IS THAT?! Here’s a look at the Silly Goose stamp set, new in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, that features this honkin’ sentiment:

In the end, I went with the sentimental option – should I have just gone for the silly goose?
