The Paper Players #747 - wheels!

all together... the wheels on the truck go round and round... wait!  well, it is Christmas in July after all, and everyone knows it takes a truck and a village of snow people to haul a load of Christmas presents! 

Thank you, LeAnne, and The Paper Players for this fun CAS challenge!


It was SO hard to attach the sentiment strip...


I know full well that there shouldn't be any extra dimension on a CAS card,
but I had a little die-cutting boo-boo to cover up!  It happens...
This little 'postage stamp' was cut from a pad of DSP and stamped
with a few of the WF Postage Collage stamps.


Thanks, LeAnne!

I had an appointment at the eye doctor this morning... let me tell you
all this white is brutal while my eyes are dilated!

I'm going to get this posted and go take a nap!

Great Save. Love the big white border. Really sends the eye to the image.

OH my word! That little Christmas postage stamp is adorable all on its own but the way you've framed it up while preserving the white space is wonderful! Thanks for sharing again at The Paper Players.

Oh, wow, Michele! Can a card get any cuter than this? The little postage stamp is adorable. I like how you "popped" up the sentiment to cover up the "boo-boo"! It's a fabulous CAS card. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players!

I just parked my wheels right next to yours in the gallery! Love your cutie little snow family in their pick up truck. It all looks perfectly CAS to me! Hope the eye exam went well ~ xo

LeAnne said...

Oh my gosh....can you get any cuter than this? LOVE how you cut out that sweet image with the postage die, and then replicated it again on the background! And a wee little popup is certainly allowable, and if you hadn't said anything, no one would be any wiser about your booboo! LOVE THIS! Thanks for playing with my challenge this week at the Players!

Oh man, I love this! That awesomely impressed frame surrounding your adorable stamp is perfect -- and what's a little dimension?! Too cute

I love how the adorable stamp takes center stage , boo boo and all! Wish there was a whole sheet of this fun design. I would definitely buy it!

Birgit said...

You found the perfect image to cut into a postage stamp. It fits the space perfectly. Great save using the sentiment strip. This card is super adorable!

Jeanne said...

Such a fun and festive card. Great cover up, too.

Bonnie said...

What a great idea to use the postage stamp die to cut DSP! This is ADORABLE, my friend!

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

Your card is perfectly CAS, and I love it!

Fantastic CAS design!!

Leslie Miller said...

Wouldn't it be nice if postage was back to 30 cents? Your card is wonderfully cute with the postage elements, including the dry embossed frame to bring the eye right to all the fun in the center!

HilaryJane said...

I am glad you found a way to save that image. It looks great and still cas enough in my humble opinion. The postage stamp looks great. Your stamping on the DSP has worked great. Hope your eyes are OK xx

Thanks for the reminder and inspiration, Michele. I didn't think I had anything with wheels until I saw your truck, which is adorable as a stamp.

Helen said...

What a wonderful CAS creation Michele! I love that lovely little image of the truck. The sentiment adds to it perfectly!! Love the embossed frame around the card front! :)

That's a postage stamp that would raise a smile for sure and I love how you made it the focal point of you card (which is still perfectly CAS in my book btw!!) Thanks for playing along with our CAS challenge over at The Paper Players this week!

JoAnn said...

Such a cute image cut with the postage die. Love how you framed it with the embossing. Great CAS card I think. TFS

Stef Perry said...

Oh my stars, those snowmen are the cutest! What a darling Christmas card, Michele and perfectly CAS even with the added sentiment. Love this so much! Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players this week and I hope your eyes are back to normal now!
