More Details & Tips

Everything was die cut except the door, which I die-cut from the trailer die and hand-cut around the embossed outline. To add the Basic Gray wheel and hitching post, I cut another trailer from Basic Gray and snipped off the parts I needed. One more detail that is obvious in person but not so much in the photo – I added Fine Tip Glue Pen glue to the light globes to give them a glassy shine. Then I went back and added Red Pearlized Enamel Effects (available July 1) to the wreath and bow, plus a Rustic Metallic Dot to the wheel. Like I said, “Details, details!”

Yes, this was a bit of a fussy card. Yes, I did get glue all over my fingers (a reverse tweezers helps with that!) No, I would not mass-produce this card. Yes, I would give it to a special person, like my brother who has the sweetest trailer! Worth it? Every minute of it!!!

    This is just plain adorable! Something we would see here in Iowa! Love it!!!

    • Thanks, Chris! I had fun making it! I wanted to put that happy little dog in the scene but there wasn’t enough room! Good plan for a slimline card, yes?

  2. If there was a handmade card category at the fair, this would be the blue ribbon winner! Makes me smile just looking at it!
