A Bicycle Built for Two!

When I saw this bundle with the bike stamps and dies, I knew that it would make a bicycle built for two. I needed an anniversary card and it was the perfect stamp set for that!

STAMPS:
Bike Ride & Beautiful Blossoms

MATERIALS:
Tranquil Tide – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score at 4 1/4
1 1/4 x 3 (greeting background)
Whisper Whisper White – 5 1/4 x 4,
1 1/4 x 3 (greeting)
2 3/4 x 4 (bike frame)
2 3/4 x 4 (tires)
Pool Party – 3 x 4

INSTRUCTIONS:
-Die cut the Oval frame using the Layering Oval dies
-Pressure emboss the Whisper White with the Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder
-Stamp the bike frame two times with Tranquil Tide
on the 2 3/4 x 4 Whisper White and cut with dies
-Stamp the seat, petals and handlebars With Pool Party
-Layer the bicycles together putting just a tiny bit of adhesive on the rear axle (on the stamped side) of the first bicycle. Layer the 2nd bicycle on top where you put the glue matching the petal to the axle. Adjust the bicycle so that the top tube (I had to look it up to find out what it is called) to the seat tube. Trim off the rest of the top tube, handlebars and front axle.
-Using a Paper Piercer poke a hole in the front axle and the back axle of the bike frame
-Insert a small brad and trim off any of the brad legs that show with scissors
-Stamp the outside tire with Pool Party on the Whisper White
-Stamp the rim of the tire with Tranquil Tide
-Stamp the greeting on the 1 1/4 x 3 Whisper White and punch the bottom banner on Duet Banner Punch
-Punch the top banner out of the 1 1/4 x 3 Tranquil Tide with the Duet Banner Punch – layer
-Put a NEW Mini Dimensional center of the tires. Adhere the bike frame to the tires by removing the back side of the dimensional.
-Glue the tires to the front of the card and remove the dimensionals you put on the back of the seats and handlebars
