Hello there folks! I have a new project to share with you today. Back in April with Eileen Hull's Chapter 2 Sizzix release, we met the 3-D Camper Box Die and I used it to make a holder for a tag album commemorating many of our family's past camping trips. (Find that post HERE.) For Chapter 3, Eileen released a fabulous 3-D Vintage Truck Box Die that matches the Camper! I knew I had to make a companion piece for the Camper project, especially since I wasn't able to fit our more current camping trips into that tag album.
How cute is that little red truck? It's such a versatile die.
The tag album fits right in the box.
Here are some peeks at the insides of the tag album. I used a ton of stamps and die cuts to bring home the nature theme.
Both sides of the tags got the works!
A few notes on the truck construction:
I spritzed both sides of two pieces of Sizzix mat board with Distress Oxide Spray Fired Brick and regular Distress Spray in Crackling Campfire and Aged Mahogany. The oxide spray gave it a wonderful aged mottled look. After cutting out my truck pieces, I sealed them with a coating of Distress Micro Glaze. On top of that, I dabbed on embossing ink and then covered all the parts with Eileen's Glistening Glass clear embossing powder.
Truck parts I cut for your reference. (Check this past post for more truck assembly instructions.) I didn't make a hood for this truck so I'd have more room to fit my tag album.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.
Supplies used:
One of my favorite Lisa projects! It's super cute and functional too! Love that you can switch out the tag books each year <3
