Let’s get to my card for Day 4!! I adore the Big Pickup Cab and Big Pickup Tailgate and always look forward to the add-ons for each season!! The Loads of Holiday Cheer Stamp Set has a ton of images to add to the pickup for the holidays!! Santa decided to forgo the sleigh for his red pickup to deliver this truck load of gifts!! Here’s the front of the card…
And the back…
EEEEKKK!! How adorable is this!?! I love Santa’s hand waving in the back window!!
I started by stamping the Big Pickup Cab, Big Pickup Tailgate and the images from the Loads of Holiday Cheer Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Intense Black Ink. After coloring them with Copics, I die-cut all of the images with the Big Pickup Cab, Big Pickup Tailgate and Loads of Holiday Cheer Honey Cuts. I die-cut my card base from heavyweight white cardstock using one of the Big Pickup Dies, leaving the fold out of the top of the die. The die-cuts of the front and back of the truck were adhered to the card base with Bee Creative Glue.
All of the die-cut images were also adhered with Bee Creative Glue. I added the wreath, holly and stockings to the grill of the truck and put Santa in the driver’s seat. I did trim the rear view mirror with a craft knife to tuck the edge of Santa’s hat behind it.
On the back, the gifts were added to the bed of the truck. I trimmed the bottom edge of the die-cut to get rid of the white border. “Merry” was white heat embossed onto the bed of the truck using the Bitty Buzzwords Stamp Set. “Christmas” was die-cut from green and white cardstock with dies from the Bitty Buzzwords Honey Cuts. “Santa” was stamped onto the license plate with red ink. I added a few highlights with a white gel pen and some shine with a stardust gel pen.
I absolutely LOVE how this turned out!! There are so many more images in the Loads of Holiday Cheer Stamp Set…enough to fill up at least a couple more truck loads!!
Thank you so much for popping in today!! Hope to see you tonight on the Instagram LIVE release party!!
