Ready, Set, Go! – GDP #541

Leave a comment

This Online Exclusive Ready Set Go! stamp set (167537) has been my go to stamp set in my limited crafting time these days.

This week I used it for a great colour challenge by Global Design Project.

This is a fairly simple card – just lots of cardstock layers.

I stamped the race car in Cloud Cover Ink all over the Basic White layer. Then I stamped it again in Secret Sea. I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends ( Daffodil Delight and Timid Tiger), fussy cut it and attached it to the cardfrot using Dimensionals.

Next the sentiment was stamped in Secret Sea on a layered banner. The flags were stamped in Secret Sea, fussy cut and glued down.

Finally, I embellished with some Timid Tiger Flat Pearls.

All of this got layered onto Daffodil Delight, Timid Tiger and finally a Cloud Cover card base.

I think this one has just a little bit of a retro look to it.

New Product Alert – Ready, Set, Go!

🏁Start your engines because this one is going to zoom out of the Online Exclusives section! 🏎️💨

The brand new Ready Set Go! stamp set (167537) is officially available — and I could not wait to create with it!

This set is perfect for kids, teens, race fans, and those hard-to-make masculine birthday cards. I paired it with Afternoon Azure and Two-Tone Secret Sea cardstock to create a bold and fun race car themed fun fold.

🏎️ Zoom-Worthy Fun Fold Birthday Card

This design looks impressive but is actually very simple to put together!

✂️ Measurements & Supplies

🟦 Card Base (You’ll Need 2 Pieces)

Afternoon Azure Cardstock

  • Cut 2 pieces at 5 ½” x 8 ½”
  • Score each at 4 ¼”
  • Fold on the score line

After folding:

On the other folded piece, cut off the bottom panel measuring 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”

On one folded piece, cut off the top panel measuring 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”

🔹 Important Assembly Step

Apply adhesive to the back of one full panel and glue the two card bases together so they become one sturdy card base with two opening flaps.

This creates that fun layered effect when the card is closed — and a full writing panel when opened!

🏁 Stamped Front Panels (No DSP Used)

Instead of Designer Series Paper, I stamped directly onto cardstock for a custom look.

Two-Tone Secret Sea Cardstock

  • Cut 2 pieces at 2 ½” x 4″
  • Stamp your checkered flags and “Zoom!” background images
  • Adhere to the front flap panels

I love how stamping directly on the Two-Tone cardstock gives depth and keeps the design cohesive.

📝 Inside Panel

White/Neutral Cardstock

  • Cut 1 piece at 4″ x 5 ¼”
  • Stamp your sentiment and small accents (like the mini checkered flags)

🎨 Why I Love This Combo

Afternoon Azure gives that bright, energetic pop that feels fast and fun.
Two-Tone Secret Sea adds richness and contrast, making the orange race car really stand out.

And I kept it clean and bold:

  • No DSP
  • No ribbon
  • No embellishments

Sometimes simple stamping makes the biggest statement!

🏎️ Perfect For:

  • Kids’ birthdays
  • Teen birthdays
  • Masculine cards
  • Race fans
  • Fun fold lovers

This stamp set makes creating for boys so much easier — and that’s always a win in my books!
