Hello Friends and welcome back to my blog!
SO happy you stopped by!
Today I have a card to share for the new challenge over on the PEACE ON EARTH CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG. Of course the theme is Anything Christmas and we hope you'll come join in the fun! But, if you're in need of a little inspiration help, check out the board provided ...
I just LOVE these old truck images at holiday time ... it actually does bring back childhood memories of Christmas's past!
I
purchased this Northwoods Stamp set at the Adventures in Stamping
convention held here in Akron, OH each spring and finally got around to
getting it inky! It's called 'Old Fashioned Truck & Wreath Mailbox'
(NO-076). As you see, it also has the coordinating smaller stamps that
can be used on the outside of the envelope flap (see photo above). Of
course, you could leave that uncolored but I colored mine in to
coordinate completely with the card.
The snowy designer paper used for the background are actually all from my scraps bin. I've arranged them in such a manner that it looks like one sheet but there's actually four different scrap pieces used. I also cut/arranged them to be used for the inside of my card ... here:
ok, here's one more look . . .
As always ... thanks again for stopping by!
It's a gorgeous, winterly card!

Fabulously fun scene you have created and love the matching envie too, what a great stamp set this is. These old trucks remind of my Dad's old black Hudson truck he had to haul wood in, us kids were always sitting in the back and as he would drive off we would yell huddin huddin LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI love that stamp set and what you have done with it. So cute to have a matching envelope.
ReplyDeleteI so love this scene, gotta love an old red truck at Christmas :) Great way to use your dies to make the scraps look like on piece!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous mood board and stamp set AND card! I love it all! Gosh, that mailbox stamp is cute, too. I love what you did with the inside as well, and the sentiment panel matches beautifully. I'll be looking at my stamps...
