Truckloads of Love Fourth of July Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi. I am sharing some fun Fourth of July cards using the pick-up trucks from our Truckloads of Love Stamps and Dies. These cards illustrate two different takes on the same design concept.

First I have a Fourth of July card using the pick-up truck, flag, bunting, apples, husky dog, and trailing stars from the Truckloads of Love Stamps. I added the neighborhood behind them using the trees, mailboxes, and houses from our Happy Home Stamps. I wanted to keep the focus fully on my pick-up truck, so I colored the scene behind it using only E41, E42, and E43 Copic marker colors. I finished my card with a simple stamped "Happy Fourth of July" greeting from our Happy Thoughts Stamps.

Next is another patriotic parade card using the Truckloads of Love Stamps with the dog from our Balloon Rides Stamps. To set the scene from my little hometown parade, I stamped a row of buildings from our City Streets Stamps, stamping them in tan ink onto kraft Paper for a subtle tone-on-tone look. For my greeting, I heat embossed my "Happy Fourth of July" sentiment from our Happy Thoughts Stamps onto a piece of blue grid paper from our Classic Gingham Paper pack and then die-cut it using the pennant from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies. I added stitching to the bottom of my card panel using the Slimline Basic Border Dies and layered it over a strip of blue star print paper from our Surprise Party Paper pack.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love and that you have a very happy upcoming Fourth of July holiday with friends and family. 💕
