Trucking Along

CCMC780 – Trucking Along

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  This week we have a pretty color combination!

TRUCKING ALONG

Although the Truck punch is on backorder, you could recreate this card using the stamp set and cut it out!  Would give you pretty much the same look!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper was cut twice to 1-1/4 x 5-1/2, making sure I had two complete columns of the X shape on each side.  They were adhered to the sides on the front of the base card.
  • The truck was punched from Highland Heather, Berry Burst and Orchid Oasis using the Trucking Along Punch.  They were spaced on the front down the center and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The window was punched three times from Basic White cardstock and adhered.
  • The tires were punched six times from Basic Black cardstock and adhered to the truck.
  • The fenders were punched twice in each color and added over the tires on the trucks.
  • I found the tiny circles from the Tailored Made Tags reinforcement die and cut the centers from Basic White cardstock and adhered to the tires.
  • The greeting from Trucking Along was stamped with Memento Black Ink.

SO fun, isn’t it?  Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary

CCM Saturday Blog Hop – Green Eyed Lady

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  For the next few weeks, we will be featuring songs that have color names in their title!  This week’s song is “Green Eyed Lady” by Sugarloaf.  Our cards will have a shade of green theme!

I just got my Trucking Along Bundle (luckily before the punch ran out of stock…but it will be back!), so grabbed it for today’s card!

TRUCKING ALONG

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Old Olive cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper was added to the front.
  • A 1-1/4 x 4 strip of Old Olive was added across the front.
  • The 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 piece of small evergreen print from One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper has the corners rounded, then adhered to the front.
  • A 1/2 x 3-1/4 strip of Crumb Cake cardstock was torn across the top and added to the bottom of the DSP for the “ground”.
  • The greeting from Trucking Along was stamped with Pebbled Path Ink on a 1-1/4 x 1-1/2 piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The truck and wood bed frame from Trucking Along stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White, then colored with Old Olive Combo, Light Crumb Cake, Light Pool Party, Light Mossy Meadow, Light Copper Clay, Light Smoky Slate and Light Basic Black Stampin’ Blends, then punched with the Trucking Along Punch and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (the wood bed frame was cut out separately).
  • Two Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots were added to the Old Olive strip.
  • Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added next to the greeting with a Mini Glue Dot.

See, I told you I’d be using this layout again!  LOVE it!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
