Sweethearts Tandem Bike Card

Created this Tandem Bike card using Sweethearts Cricut cartridge. When I bought the cartridge last yr I wanted it specifically for the tandem bike cut. Some of you may know & other may not but I tell people I can pilot a single-engine plane but cannot ride a regular bike unless it is a tandem bike like one that hubby & I have. I had a tricycle when younger that was red. Growing up we lived off a highway and older sister got a regular bike but I did not and did not get a chance to learn to ride. Later after college I took flying lessons; thus reason why I can pilot a single-engine plane.
















Sweethearts Cricut cartridge bike 3"

Used paper: 2 shades of blue, 2 shades of green & white that were in 2011 Online Summer Card Camp Wk 4 (last wk) color palette.

Used a couple of stickers: 2 flowers & basket decor (all in same color palette)

twine for bike tire spokes (took quite awhile to use the mini pop dots to do this but was well worth it)

brads for tire embellishing

Martha Stewart grass edge punch

foam adhesives

Zig 2 way glue pen to put this together

Entering this into following challenges:

    Cute card! But if you can't ride a bike I don't think I'd let you pilot my plane! ;) Love that bike cut! You need to get a photo of you and your husband on your bike and do a scrapbook layout of it with this Cricut cut. That would be so cute.

    Well, there's the phrase "I'd rather be ..." and so in my case it would be completed with "flying" or "riding a tandem bike with hubby." I'll have to have daughter take a photo of the 2 of us. When I announced the birth of my daughter I used a picture of a tandem bike with a part added to it to make it a bike built for 3 and we actually had what is called a hitchhiker that attached to back of bike for daughter and to ride the bike it felt like riding a truck since more weight was being added.
