Mini Floral Truck

March 21, 2023

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. Today I am sharing a Mini Floral Truck. Below are the steps to create your own Mini Floral Truck Card.

Step 1 – Trim White Soft Finish to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. To create the mini truck version visit Els’ YouTube here. You have to place the Food Truck die slightly below the fold line so that the card doesn’t cut in 2 and bring the front just at the edge of the side. Pass it through the die cutting machine and cut only the front. The same for the back. Place it at the edge and only diecut the back. For the center part use a trimmer or an exacto knife.

Step 2 – Diecut Food Truck pieces using various colors of cardstock. Assemble and adhere to truck using Kid’s Choice Glue.

Step 3 – Diecut Farm Accessories (sunflower) using various colors of cardstock. Assemble and adhere to card using Kid’s Choice Glue.

Step 4 – Diecut Monster 2 (flower) using various colors of cardstock. Assemble and adhere to card using Kid’s Choice Glue.

Step 5 – Stamp Good Food Good Mood using Versafine Onyx Black Ink to the inside of the card.

Don’t be afraid to come up with ways to stretch (or in this case slim) your dies. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

January 10, 2023

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. Happy New Year! I wish you all a healthy and happy 2023. This is my first blog post for the new year. I can’t believe it. The next holiday to look forward to is Valentine’s Day. Below you will find a card using the Gnomes Dies, Dotted Background Die and the Love Sentiments Stamps from Joset Designs.

Step 2 – Trim White Soft Finish 110 lbs to 3 3/8″ x 5 7/8″. Apply Inks of your choice using colors Fuchsia, Lt. Red, Lt. Orange and Yellow. Set aside to dry.

Step 3 – Diecut Dotted Background using a scrap piece of cardstock to use as a stencil. Place it on top of the panel created in Step 2. Apply Texture Paste Translucent Gloss, remove the stencil. Quickly add some Soft Microfine Glitter Cool Diamond before the Paste dries. This will secure the Glitter. Let dry then adhere to the card front using 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape.
