Mary's file comes with a Christmas tree in the bed of the truck, but that was easy enough to trim away and replace with this cute sentiment patch from Just Because Cards.
I added his age on the back of the truck - which I won't share with you! LOL - and stamped Happy Birthday on the banner. Honestly, it took me longer to choose the font for the birthday numbers than it took to put the whole thing together. I finally settled on the Cricut font Southwest because of its simplicity.
The truck body is cut with a shiny black paper that I have been hoarding forever and I left the edges free of inking to give the truck a little definition. I added white gems for the headlights and red gems for the tail lights and called it done. I think a red version of the truck complete with tree would be a great Christmas card for Master J. Maybe add Santa driving it? Hmmm!
Thanks for visiting with me on a rainy PNW day : ) Christine.
Great truck! Thanks for sharing at Bitten by the Bug 2.

ReplyDeleteThis truck box card is ADORABLE! And yes, I do love it when things work out so well. You used fabulous papers on the truck. And ... Even if you weren't the only entry, I still would have selected this card as our Project of the Week. Congratulations. The winner post will go live tomorrow morning.
