In the past month or so, Spellbinders has had a couple amazing sales and I managed to pick up a couple dies I’d been eyeing for a long time, but unwilling to spend the money for them. During the sales, everything I bought was 50% or more off the original price. Here’s a card that features a pick-up truck that can be used for every season of the year. I needed a card for a male friend who’s birthday is in October so it was the perfect opportunity to break out the die.
I die cut the truck and all its parts from scraps. The pumpkin, leaves, and wheat were die cut last fall and filed with the Pretty Pink Posh Fall Basket dies. I layered it all with some dimensional tape on a piece of Ellen Hutson’s woodgrain cardstock after adding a piece of patterned paper from My Favorite Things to ground the truck.
Another buy during the sale was Spellbinders So Many Sentiments giving me ample sentiments for the license plate.
Amazingly, I had nearly a complete set of sentiments stamped on orange and die cut with Pinkfresh Studios Basic Banners: Celebrate. The two leaves added with some dimensional tape from the Pretty Pink Posh set were all the embellishment this card needed.
This will be my second entry into The Four Seasons September challenge, and my third entry to Seize the Birthday, working with the Topping (Fall Colors) once again. And since the truck is making its first appearance, another card for NBUS.
What a fabulous die-cut. This is SO cute. Thanks for sharing with us at The Four Seasons Challenge. We always appreciate your participation.
A fun card & I really like the leaves.

I love how you put this card together using this great truck. I particularly like the size of your pumpkins and leaves. I am starting to realize what I am missing in my stash. Awesome masculine-Fall Birthday card, Karen, and happy to see you back for round two at Seize the Birthday.
Perfect way to use fall colors. Love all the texture and that awesome truck. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
Great way to use your sales goodies! The colors and textures make a dynamic statement!
