Ride With Me

Monday, June 24, 2019
Today we leave on a one-way flight to Arizona where we will pick up the new (to us) vehicle that we purchased, and then we will take a 3-4 day road trip home.
While we will be driving a van, not a pick up truck, I still thought it was fun day to post these photos and a fun video today in honor of our road trip.
I am so in love with this darling little pick up truck, and the RIDE WITH ME Stamp Set.
Buy them as a bundle and save 10%
I chose to make my first truck from Daffodil Delight Card Stock because our 17 year old grandson owns a bright yellow pick up
For the windows I stamped the images onto VELLUM Card Stock, and hand cut them out. Be sure to heat your stamped image just a bit so the ink does not smear.
For the wheels I cut the Basic Black from the circle dies included in the bundle, punched out 1/2" circles from Whisper White, then added some silver 1/4" circles using a standard handheld hole punch. I used some retired Brushed Silver Card Stock because I have a ton of it on hand, but you could easily just use the SILVER FOIL or Smoky Slate.
I even gave Tyler's truck a vanity plate!!
Now for the box...
Since I have made so many boxes over the years I just had to do a little figuring, but to save you the headache of figuring it out - here are the dimensions that I used:

Cut Crumb Cake Card Stock 3" x 5 1/4"
Score On the long side at 1", 2-3/8", 3-3/8", 4-3/4"
Score on the short side at 1" and 2"
You will cut out 2 tabs when assembling the box, but this is basic box building.

My Stampin' Up! Logo came from a stamp set that we demonstrators received several years ago at a Leadership conference (what they used to call the mid-way conferences) called Workshop Words BUT...you are in luck and can purchase Washi Tape called FOLLOW YOUR ART pg 172 in the Annual Catalog.
The finished dimensions of the box are 1-3/8" wide x 1" high and 1" deep, and is the perfect size to hold one Chocolate Hershey Nugget.
Here is a video how-to for putting it together.
You can bet I will be having some of these at our Fall Craft Sales.
