Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here on the blog. Today, I am sharing a fun slimline card using the cute Construction Trucks stamp set!
I first cut a slimline panel in white cardstock and used the Layered Roads stencils to create the dirt background. I inked it with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and then sprayed it with water for an oxidized effect. Next, I cut a larger panel that measures 3.5 inch x 8.5 inch in black cardstock. I also cut a few strips of yellow cardstock and adhered them onto the black cardstock diagonally. I then adhered the 2 panels together using liquid glue. For the sentiment, I stamped it onto the card panel using Versafine Onyx black ink.
Next, I stamped and colored the images from the Construction Trucks stamp set. I love these trucks and I colored them yellow to look like the Tonka trucks that my nephew used to play with when he was younger. I cut the images with their coordinating dies and foam mounted them onto the card panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a slimline-size card base.
That’s all for this card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to craft with this cute stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Fantastic card, love those little trucks, my set arrived last week after I needed to wait for a restock at my online craft store. May I ask what liquid glue do you use please ? I’m have osteoarthritis & fibromyalgia so my joints aren’t strong at all & trying to squeeze glue out of the thinner tubes is so difficult to impossible some days. As much as I love several.of the companies that make these fantastic glues I wish to find a decent glue I can use. Thanks in advance for any advice.
