Hi there! Yesterday I shared this cute little Valentine Pickup shape card over on the Honey Bee Stamps YouTube channel.
I used the Big Pickup Cab & Big Pickup Tailgate set to create the front and back of the shape card.
I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black ink and painted the images using distress inks.
For the heart balloons I used the Loads of Love set. For the “love” I used the Tailgate Alphabet Honey Cuts with Pixie Dust cardstock.
Here’s the video to show you how I created this cute shape card.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

February 9, 2021 at 5:54 pmLove your truck filled with love! The truck door is called a “tailgate”. I was giggling–and I didn’t de-tassle corn but grew up in the Midwest myself. My college roommate did, I lived in a dairy farming region.

February 9, 2021 at 7:52 pmLaura, you’re a SCREAM! You’re mentioning the name of the set which contains the word “tailgate” and yet you’re stumped at what the “tailgate” is called. Back door? You crack me up. Also, I have heard “Go BIG or go home” more frequently than your version. Love the watercolor look. Terrific card. I have been debating about those four products (2 stamp trucks, 2 die trucks) for weeks and I just ordered the tailgate set today. Tailgate set, Laura. Tailgate.

February 10, 2021 at 4:23 amI can’t say I love pickups, but I do love this card! You made me fall in love with it. I think it’s one of the less common cards that would really appeal to a guy, or, certain guys. The painting style is perfect for it. My parents grew up in Galesburg, so I heard about detassling many a time. Thankfully I didn’t have to do it. (I’m an East Coast girl). I don’t think I have it in me to work that hard, but I’m sure it builds character. You turned out well, didn’t you. There ya go.
