A Little Pickup Card by Amanda Wilcox

 

   

A little Pickup!

Do you know someone who could use a little cheer? Today we're sharing a card by Amanda that is sure to brighten anyone's day!

For this sunny card, Amanda started by inking bright yellow distress inks onto a white card base, adding some water splatters for texture. She then cut out three postage edged rectangles using our Framework Die Set and added ink onto those as well, this time in orange. 

The star of the show is the cute little truck, stamped from our Farming Fun Stamp Set. She colored the truck a bright red and cut the image out using the coordinating Farming Fun Die Set. She added the sentiment "Thought you could use a little pickup!" from the Farming Fun Stamp Set onto a bubble that was cut out using our Speech Bubbles Die Set. Isn't that the cutest!? A few little red clay hearts add the perfect finishing touch!

We hope this cheerful project by Amanda has brightened your day! To say hello to Amanda and see more details you can visit her over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!

 

A Little Pickup Card by Zsofia Molnar

Send a Little Pickup...

Today Zsofia created a sweet and simple card that is perfect for sending a little "pickup" to a friend or family member! She started out by coloring the little pickup truck and wagon from the Farming Fun Stamp Set in fun bright red tones. She cut out the images using the coordinating Farming Fun Die Set. For her card she created setting for truck scene adding a section of subtle gray patterned paper along the bottom half of the card, topped with a stripe of solid gray to make it look like a road. The top half of the card is filled with white cloudy background and she stamped the sentiment "Thought you could use a little pickup!" over the clouds!

It can be fun to create elaborate scenes but this card shows how simply it can be done too! It also has a nice masculine feel and would be great for sending a card to a guy in your life!

Here is a close-up so you can see the added gloss on the tires and door handles:

Thank you, Zsofia, inspiring us to create simple scenes today! You can find more of Zsofia's lovely creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.
