All Geared Up to Celebrate

I made a version of this card for my daughter's boyfriend for his birthday. He owns a black car, so I had to make sure this car was black, too. I made this card so I could share it with you, only changing the greeting from Derek's card. This one still works for a birthday, but it can be used for any celebration. I was inspired by a card I saw in Pinterest, but there was no information on who made it. Mine is similar to it, but I changed it up a bit.

This card features the Geared Up Garage Bundle, along with the coordinating Classic Garage 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper & Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon.

The bundle includes the Geared Up Garage Cling Stamp Set and the Garage Gears Thinlits Dies. When you purchase the bundle, you save 10%! I just love the large gear die that comes in die-set, along with all of the other little gears. You can see a picture of the bundle below.
