Trucking Along for Fall

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along

Do you ever get card ideas in your head and they just have to come out? That describes me with today’s card. I thought it would be really fun to use Stampin’ Up!’s Trucking Along stamp set in conjunction with the Pick of the Patch Bundle. My vision saw a big pumpkin riding in the back of the truck. Isn’t it fun?

A quick note about the Trucking Along Bundle. The stamp set is available as an Online Exclusive (meaning you’ll find it on Stampin’ Up!’s online store). The Trucking Along Builder Punch is slated to be available October 9, 2023. But, from my video below, see how easy it is to cut the truck by hand.

Here are a few fun details about this card:

  • Pumpkin Pie card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • Wood grain piece (from All About Autumn Designer Series Paper) measuring 5 1/4 x 4
  • Pumpkin Pie card stock layering measuring 4 1/2 x 3 1/4
  • Basic White measuring 4 1/4 x 3
  • Truck outline stamped with Memento and body stamped with Night of Navy (cut by hand)
  • Pumpkin and stem (Pick of the Patch) in Pumpkin Pie ink and Old Olive ink (pumpkin cut by hand, stem punched with coordinating punch)
  • Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper measuring 3/4 x 3 3/4
  • Sentiment from Pick of the Patch stamped with Pumpkin Pie

Dots & Spots for Halloween

Stampin' Up! Dots & Spots

I have this crazy goal: I want to actually use some of the great crafting goodies I buy! Seriously! When Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog came out at the beginning of May, I bought the Dots & Spots Die. (That’s the die that makes the dotted background; the one that almost looks like cheese.) It looks cool, I thought. I should be able to do something fun with that. But, it sat there and sat there. 

This last weekend, I made my way into the craft room and played with paper and that die specifically. Click here to see a fun, summer-themed card made with this die. 

And then I thought: why not Halloween? I had just received the Bewitching stamp set and coordinating Witch Hat Builders Punch. Perhaps I could use all of these elements together.

Thus, the card above came to life.

Dots & Spots Die for Halloween

Here’s a quick recap of how this card came together:

  • Pumpkin Pie card base
  • Basic Black layer measuring 5 1/4 x 4 run through the Dots & Spots Die (attached to card front with just a little of glue strategically placed between the dots).
  • Layering Circles dies for the scallop circle
  • Stylish Shapes Dies for the black circle
  • Stamp dotted witch’s hat with black ink on white card stock, colored with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends
  • Pumpkin Pie banner with Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Finished with a bow created with black baker’s twine
