Sneak Peek: Introducing Truckloads of Love Stamps & Dies

Hello and welcome to day 2 of our Holiday Sneak Peek Week!  Each morning in the coming week I will be showcasing projects using our newest fall & winter collections which will be available to purchase on August 25th.

Today I'm showcasing our new Truckloads of Love Stamps & Dies which includes an adorable vintage pick-up truck, truckloads for different holidays, occasions, and seasons, as well as a number of cute punny sentiments. The set also includes four new mini critter drivers. These are the same critters found in our Fall Friends Stamps, but shrunken down in size to mix and match with the critters from our Balloon Rides Stamps.

Card No. 1: My first card features a fall scene with a load of leaves in the back of an aqua colored pick-up truck using the Truckloads of Love Stamps. I started by blending my autumn sunset background using Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry, & Seedless Preserves Distress Inks. I then arranged three trees behind my truck using our Woodsy Autumn Stamps, layering a stitched hillside over the top cut from dark brown cardstock using our Slimline Nature Border Dies.

When I inked up my sky, I ended up trimming off some of the purple along the top of my cardstock panel so I could see more of the yellow peeking out near the horizon line of my scene so I was able to repurpose that portion by cutting out a stitched strip using the smallest pennant die from our Slimline Pennant Dies to help ground my sentiment. For my greeting, I inked up some white cardstock with Wild Honey ink, cut out a pennant strip using our Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and heat embossed the phrase "Leaves are falling, Autumn is calling" from our Happy Harvest Stamps. Lastly, I layered the stitched strip with a pile of leaves and rake in the bottom right corner from our Fall Scenes Stamps. The leaves from this set are a larger scale so I thought they matched nicely with the other leaf piles and give the appearance they are in the foreground.

Card No. 2: Up next is another fall card, this time focusing on the load of pumpkins from our Truckloads of Love Stamps. For this card, I started by inking a white cardstock panel with Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress Inks which I then splattered with water to create a speckled look which I thought gave the appearance of a starry sky right before the sun has fully gone down for the evening. With this in mind, I colored my tree border from our Country Scenes Stamps with slightly darker moody fall tones using my Copic markers. 

My dad had an old mint green pick-up truck like this when I was a kid so that was my inspiration when I colored this one, adding a little raccoon as my driver. For my sentiment, I paired the "greetings" word die from our Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies with the word "Autumn" which I spelled out using our Hayley Uppercase Alphabet and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet dies. I didn't realize how closely these matched until I created this card so that was an extra happy surprise!

Card No. 3: I couldn't resist creating one last fall card with our new Truckloads of Love Stamps, focusing on a fall harvest scene using the wood crates, tomatoes and apples from the set. For the barn & windmill in my background, I stamped the border from our Farm Fresh Stamps, added a chicken and some chicks to the foreground using our Clucky Chickens Stamps, and small tufts of grass using our Harvest Mice Stamps. Lastly, I stamped the "happy autumn" greeting in the empty portion of my sky in the top right using our Crisp Autumn Stamps.

Card No. 4:
I took inspiration from the Barbie movie for my next card, creating a bright and happy birthday card, coloring the truck from Truckloads of Love a hot pink color, filling it with a stack of colorful gifts from the set, and adding a bunny driver from our Balloon Rides Stamps. For the background, I inked my sky with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added the stitched clouds using our Fluffy Clouds Dies. I then layered it with a strip of neighborhood homes from our Scenic Route Stamps, keeping them a monochromatic grey to prevent them from competing with my focal point images. Lastly, I heat-embossed a birthday greeting from the set and added the white dotted line to my street with the border.

Card No. 5: Switching gears, I have a Christmas card using the Truckloads of Love Stamps with the tree & gifts and a husky dog as the driver. I paired them with the houses and trees border from our Winter Scenes Stamps, coloring the trees to match. I like to create a little story in my head when creating cards and I like the idea of them just coming back from cutting down one of these very trees. I inked up my sky to look like the glow of the sun setting with Tumbled Glass blending to Spun Sugar Distress inks and then added dots of Stickles Glitter to my sky to give the look of snow falling. I had been feeling like my card was missing something and I really love the touch of sparkle and extra texture it gives my card in person!Sunny Studio Driving By to Wish You Merry Christmas Pick-up Truck Holiday Card (using Truckloads of Love & Winter Scenes Stamps)

Card No. 6: Progressing through the holidays and seasons, next up I have a Truckloads of Love card perfect for Valentine's Day or pretty much any day you want to let someone know you love them. I started by adding a 5.5" wide x 1" high strip of striped aqua paper from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack to the bottom of my card base. I then cut the row of heart cutouts using our Heartstrings Border Dies, backed them with pink cardstock, and added the stitching and ric rac edge with our Slimline Basic Border dies. I added a little panda bear for my driver from our Balloon Rides Stamps and added a pink speech bubble for my heat-embossed sentiment from our Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies.Sunny Studio Aqua Pick-up Truck with Pink Trailing Hearts Card (using Truckloads of Love Stamps, Heartstring Border, Slimline Basic Border & Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies, & Sleek Stripes Paper)

Card No. 7: It's a bit out of season at the moment, but I couldn't resist rounding out the holidays with a patriotic parade card adding the flag, bunting, and trailing stars to my red pick-up truck from Truckloads of Love 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" 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. Lastly, I added a strip of blue star print paper from our Surprise Party Paper pack.

City Streets Card with Bobbi

Hello Sunny friends, Bobbi here! Today I’m sharing a fun card using just one image from the City Streets stamp setI love the look of a retro VW bug or van. I have never owned one, but I just think they are interesting and scream summer-fun vibes! Whenever I see one in a stamp set, I’m immediately drawn to that particular image. No surprise, it happened again. I focused right in on the car included in this city-inspired set and made this card. It’s okay not to use every image in a set every time. Sometimes a card can be fun using just one design.

Sunny Studio Stamps: City Streets card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies, Inside Greetings)

For this card, I’m using the following products:

City Street stamp set (There is also a coordinating die set available for this set that I did not use.)

Tropical Trees background set

Country Carnival stamp set for the front panel sentiment (There is also a coordinating die set available for this set that I did not use.)

Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set for the inside sentiment

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped the 
automobile repeatedly over a 5″ X  7″ front panel cut from white cardstock. I used my MISTI stamping tool to line up the bottom of the image to ensure a clean grid of cars. I kept some space at the bottom of the card front for a sentiment.  I colored the cars using four Copic colors: B01, B00, V04, YG23. I color-blocked the cars to make each one different. How cute are these cars?! This was a new color combo for me, too.

Using the Tropical Trees background set, I die cut a palm tree and four clouds in varying sizes. I used the two shades of blue to color the clouds and cut the tree from colored cardstock. The elements were added to the front panel. I used foam dots to attach the palm tree so that it stood out from the background. A thin green 1/8″ strip of cardstock was glued right under the tree to ground it. I stamped the sentiment, “enjoy the ride” underneath the strip.

Inside the card, I stamped a phrase from the set, Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set. This card could be used for  many life changing adventures such as a retirement, change of job, graduation, wedding, and/or travel adventure. It’s just a fun summer card with a little unexpected twist! I’m gonna say it…. “Way to go, Bobbi!” Haha!

Birthday Mouse Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and this sweet little mouse from the new Birthday Mouse Stamps is just as happy as can be cycling along a little village street!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Birthday Mouse Birthday Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring City Streets)

This is a mini slimline card (card base is 6 1/4” x 6 1/2", scored on the 6 1/2" side at 3 1/4" and folded in half) and I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock 3” x 6” for the background panel. I placed a post-it note across the panel 2 3/4" from the top and inked a cloud stencil with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I then masked the sky and inked the bottom of the panel with Old Paper Distress ink. For the cobblestone, I used various shades of brown Copic markers and colored circle shapes small to large on the Old Paper inked portion to give the impression of distance between the buildings in the background and the mouse in the foreground.

I then heat embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder 1/2" below the horizon line. I matted this panel on light aqua cardstock and adhered it to the card front.

To finish, I stamped images from the City Streets Stamps and the Birthday Mouse Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the City Streets Dies and Birthday Mouse Dies.

I hope you enjoyed my sweet and simple card to brighten someone’s day. Thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
