I recently purchased a die cutting machine (Gemini Junior) and ordered this fun die cutting set from Spellbinders. This card is for my new son-in-law. He drives a pick-up truck, so I thought this would be perfect for him.
I started by die cutting a kraft card base (Sugar Pea Design Builder). I used Nuvo Hot Cholcolate embossing powder for the sentiment (Ranger Letter It Birthday). Next, I cut out all the truck pieces using Bohemia Blue Bird "All Boy" card stock (coordinating double sided paper). I enjoyed the die cutting and paper selection. I wanted dimension so I used foam tape for the truck body and then an additional layer of foam tape for the license plate and bumper. I tucked in a few gifts die cut from scrap paper I had left over. The ribbons on two of the packages are light green but they did not photograph well.
I am entering this card in:
Cardz 4 Guyz "To Die for Challenge" I lost track of how many dies I used on this card, but I think my son-in-law will really like the card.
Happy Little Stampers "Die" Challenge I've never made a card with so many dies before, it was kind of like doing a fun puzzle.
The Male Room "Do It Yourself Challenge" This card is for my son-in-law. He drives a pickup and for Christmas he asked for tools so he could do maintenance and repairs himself. So we got him a variety of DIY tools.
Brown Sugar Transportation Challenge - A pick-up is my husband's primary mode of transportation.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge I think this little pick-up is as "cute" as can be!
