Route 66 Birthday

I needed a male birthday card so I pulled out my Fun Stampers Journey goodies and came up with this one.

 

The squiggly line is a map of Route 66 and I put a jewel on Kingman, AZ which is where we live about a mile off of Route 66. I used some white ink to stamp it.

 

The, "Happy Birthday" was typed in Word and printed onto a piece of 8 1/1 x 11 cardstock.

 

The truck, Route 66 sign and sentiment are all from the, "Hit the Road" stamp set, all were heat embossed and fussy cut (for some reason there is no matching die set for these stamps) everything and adhered them to the card with foam pads.



 

Kingman Center for the Arts

A while back we went to a local yearly arts and craft sale. The first booth we came to was selling 6 x 6 canvases to help raise funds for the Kingman Center for the Arts. The idea is to take the canvas home, create something on it and return it to be sold at an upcoming art show that will help fund the new art center.

The subject matter for the canvas is Route 66, Kingman, AZ is a part of the longest remaining stretch of Route 66 and the town depends on tourist dollars to survive.

After having several ideas running through my mind, here is what I came up with after going to see, "Cars" 3, what is more Route 66 than the, "Cars" movies?

 

The pic is a bit crooked but I am just too lazy to take another one.

 

After painting the canvas a very light blue I put on a coat of silver Craft Twinkles (hard to see in the pic) and used my Cricut Cars cartridge to cut the Cars logo and the Route 66 sign. The, "Kingman, AZ" was cut using Street Signs.
