Hi everyone! How do birthdays look at your house? Pretty much Panda-monium around here! lol Look at this adorable shiny black pickup and friends though! So cute! I think I’m going to have to save this for my husband’s next birthday.
I started with a 5 ½ in x 11 in piece of cardstock. Then it’s just a simple cut and some score lines to create the fold. Email me if you want me to post a how to… I used to make these a lot!
Here it is flat… send in a square envelope or the catalog size envelope that is rectangle.
A close up of the panda on the right step.
I die cut the pandas in white cardstock and colored them with a black copic marker. The details die cut into the images and you can stick a piece of scrap paper to help protect the white areas. slick!
A Fineliner pen for their eyes.
Panda on the left will hold something so I put in a heart and he’s holding a balloon.
I had to cut the pickup out of Memory Box Glossy Black cardstock and silver mirror cardstock for the wheels and bumpers.
A piece of acetate I hand cut to place behind the window.
I used the poppystamps Whittle Cloud Border for the clouds.
I used the poppystamps Word Balloons for the sentiment that comes with the Whittle Panda Pickup kit.
This is all I’ve gotten made this week. Sometimes I can be so slow! Well, I was just playing and having fun! lol
I also pieced the pandas from white and black cardstock and that worked great too. If you do that, use a fine sanding block or the Tombow sander that looks like an eraser to smooth your scissor cut areas. It works great!
ok – I’ll stop talking now and get busy on my next card! I was inspired by a flower card in the new Birch Press Design look book!
Have a great rest of the week and see you here again soon! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Here’s the products I used to make this card…
