Trucking Along With Day 3 of 30!!!

It's another fun day to share something I made for the fun 30 day Christmas Card Making Challenge!  Day 3 is a "Rocking Around" challenge!  "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" is probably the song that a lot of people sing in their heads when they hear this challenge.  Well I have to admit I did, anyway!  Haha.  And my mind immediately jumped to rocking around in the cute Trucking Along Bundle to go GET the Christmas Tree!  So made a quick card with that in mind ...

Colors:  Smoky Slate, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Parakeet Party

Inks: Pool Party, Parakeet Party, Flirty Flamingo, Smoky Slate, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Basic White, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper

Stamps: Trucking Along

Tools:  Basic Borders Dies, Trucking Along Builder Punch, Heat Tool, Water Painter

Accessories: Basics Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Tinsel Gems Three-Pack  

Love the Basic Borders Die that cut the bottom of the watercolor paper.  And just a pretty fun & quick card to share some festive Christmas joy!  I LOVE this truck!  

A quick tip on the truck.  There is a coordinating punch to punch out the truck.  SWOON!  And then for the Christmas Tree ... I just quickly cut it out, but I left a little "tab" on the bottom of the tree.  Then I could just easily add some adhesive to that tab and adhere it behind the truck, in the bed of the truck! 

Here are a few more photos of the details of the card! 

I hope you enjoy!  Thank you for visiting! Please let me know if you have any questions!  I would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs.  Would also love to help you get any Stampin' Up! products that you need!

Embossed Treat Bag Meets Card Decor!

I have a fun little trick for you today ... I think you should use this in your gift giving!  😊

My youngest daughter has had a student teacher in her classroom this year, and she LOVES!! her.  Well...sadly...today is her last day with them in their classroom.  😢 She has been dreading this day all year long.  But of course we had to celebrate her and give her a little gift to say thank you.  

This is where my little tip comes in!  I had made a card for her...using her favorite colors...and then put her little gift in one of Stampin' Up!'s Embossed Treat Bags.  Well...I was just going to tie some ribbon on the bag, but then had this thought!  I thought the card should be the focal point!  Haha.  SO...that's what I did!

Colors:  Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Basic Black

Inks:  Daffodil Delight, Parakeet Party, Memento Tuxedo Black (for splatter), VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Basic White, Thick Basic White, Basic Black, Vellum, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Black & White Designs Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Art Gallery, March 22 Paper Pumpkin - Beyond the Horizon

Tools:  Framed Florets Dies, Water Painter, Heat Tool

Accessories: Linen Thread, Basics Embossing Powders, Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins, Embossed Treat Bag, Clear Envelope

Now...I am sure you are asking...how is that card staying on there?!  Well this is the fun trick!  

***TIP!!!!*** Take a Clear Medium Envelope, cut it down to 4" tall, and adhere that to the front of the bag!  Then just add your card for a fun decorative focal point to the bag!  😍  

What do you think?!  Taking or leaving this tip?!  Haha.  Would this be useful for you in your crafting & gift giving?!

Here is a closer look at the card...

Yellow & green are her favorite colors, so I did a watercolor wash on some Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Then added some die cuts from the Framed Florets Dies, some greetings from a few stamp sets (Art Gallery & March 22 Paper Pumpkin-Beyond the Horizon), and some embelishments.

I hope you enjoy this card!  Thank you, Stampin' Up! for creating such fun products to make papercrafting so much fun!
