Welcome to the Thailand Incentive Trip Achievers Blog Hop for January 2017. This month our theme is the "Sale-a-Bration". We want to show you some more ways to make the most of your Sale-a-Bration items. Have you collected them all yet?
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Jan Farring or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. At the moment you are visiting Jan Farring.
We've had many, many mild winters, so I guess we deserve a hard one now and then. And we've HAD it. So Thailand can't come soon enough for us!
As I looked through the Sale-A-Bration Catalog, I truly had a hard time choosing what I wanted first, but when I saw the Tasty Trucks stamp set, I just fell......the little truck treat favor caught my eye. I'm not sure how Stampin' Up assembled theirs, so I decided just to wing it and make my own.
This will be perfect for one of the three grandson's birthday coming up in the next couple of months and since I had lots of Hershey's Nuggets, I used those
I started by stamping the truck once. I used the new Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen to color.
I wanted a 2nd truck on the back, so I stamped on a window sheet with Black Memento ink and then stamped on Whisper White. That gave me a reverse truck!
To make the box I cut a piece of Soft Sky Card Stock 5 1/2" x 4 1/2"
I scored the 5 1/2" side (at the top) at 1 5/8" and 3 7/8"
I turned and scored the 4 1/2" side at 1 1/2" and 3"
The next step is to burnish the score lines and then cut up to the first score line as below
Trim off the 4 outside tabs about half
Assemble your box - I used Fast Fuse, and you can use any strong adhesive - Tear & Tape or Tombow
Next attach both trucks and add your sentiment. I cut two pieces of the Soft Sky Card Stock 1/4" by about 2 1/4" and glued them together (for strength). then stamped the sentiment and attached it with a couple glue dots. I attached it to the side of the truck also with glue dots. Don't forget to stamp "Happy Birthday" on the side of the truck. I inked up the words and covered the "now where's the cake" with washi tape and had a "clean" stamp!!
