Good Morning! I used the fun Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along bundle with my favorite Bee My Valentine bundle to make a Valentine’s Day Card. I also uses the pretty pink and red Sale-A-Bration Most Adored designer series paper to go with it all. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.
I adhered a plaid panel of Most Adored specialty designer series paper to the front of a Real Red Card base with liquid glue. I adhered a heart filled panel to a Real Red Mat and tied it with Flirty Flamingo baker’s twine, made a bow and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.
I stamped the truck outline from the sweet Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I stamped the body using Real Red ink and punched it out with the Trucking Along Builder Punch. I colored the wheels and fenders with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and the windows with light Pool Party. I stamped the cloud in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with the light Pool Party Party Stampin’ Blend before fussy cutting. I stamped the ground in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it out with the second largest circle from the stylish shapes die. I adhered the truck to the circle with dimensionals and the cloud with glue dots.
I popped the circle on the card with dimensionals and colored a panel of Bubble Bath shimmer paper with light Calypso Coral, dark Flirty Flamingo and Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. I proceeded to punch out a bunch of little hearts with the Bee Builder Punch and adhered them to the card, some with glue dots and some with dimensionals. I added some Real Red Festive Pearls for more shiny texture.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White. I adhered some more small punched hearts and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
I’ve seen Valentine’s Day cards with the heart balloons streaming from the back and that’s the look I wanted to go for. The vintage truck from the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along bundle is so cute, so I thought I’d give it a try. What do you think?
