New Driver Card
I had this idea to make a card for someone who has just passed their driving test.
The sentiment and car are Couture Creation cut, foil and emboss dies, but the garage is made from some simple die cuts, with details added using the Couture Creations Mini Scoring Board.
I've used some nesting rectangle dies to create my garage. To begin with cut out the largest rectangle twice - one in the colour for the walls and the other in the colour for the door - I've used some red foil card for my door. Use the Next size down rectangle die to cut the space for the door.
Use a die to cut the shape for the roof. You can cut this from the waste piece.
I used my Couture Creations Mini Scoring Board to add embossed details to the door and also to the roof, before sticking the elements of the garage together.
I used high tack double sided tape to stick my "door frame" over the piece of card for the door.
Then add the triangle for the roof - only put glue on the part that over laps.
Trim off the corners sticking out behind the roof, and trim the bottom of the garage if it's a bit tall - it will depend on the shape of the rectangle dies you've used.
For the car, I used the Jalopy cut, foil and emboss die. I used a piece of white card as an extra shim on top of the die when I foiled mine. The windows didn't cut out, so I coloured these in grey and stuck the two layers together so that my windows are filled in. You can use this die with ink instead of foiling, and cut in your die cutting machine like a normal die.
For the road, I used a wedge of card. I've added some texture using an embossing folder.
Decide where this needs to sit on the background layer of card, stick in place overlapping the edges of the back ground and then trim from the back using scissors.

The "Nailed It!" sentiment is foiled using another cut, foil and emboss die - I show you how to work with this die in my video.
