This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is another catalog CASE. This time I used the card sketch and the vehicle theme, but kept my Christmas in July theme, too! Here's the catalog inspiration:
The Trucking Along stamp set is perfect for this, not only because of the trucks (gotta love those old trucks!), but because it has holiday images and sentiments, as well as Spring, Summer, and Fall.
I started with 1 3/8" strips of Basic White onto which I stamped the trucks and sentiment. The Christmas tree was stamped with Shaded Spruce (filler stamped off) in the back of one of the trucks, then the trucks and gifts were colored with Stampin' Blends. I arranged them on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Shaded Spruce and used the largest Deckled Rectangle die to cut them out.
A 3 7/8" x 5 1/4" Shaded Spruce mat was adhered to the Basic Beige card base and the deckled die cut added with Stampin' Dimensionals. Some Adhesive-backed Snowflakes were added as well, for a festive finish. Now here's where the story takes a twist.... I adhered everything to the card with the fold on the wrong side! Have you ever done that? Well, if you have, I hope you have a Take Your Pick Tool in your crafting tool kit, because it's a life saver! That little flat paddle end slipped under the Shaded Spruce mat and I was able to carefully lift it off and turn it the right way. 👍
