Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders July 2022 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Yasmin Diaz. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a die-cut card with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Food Truck.” I turned the truck into a flower truck driven by a flamingo! (There are many creative ways to use this truck die set.)
Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to three lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, July 17, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note: store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.
Here’s how you can make this card:
- Dry-emboss light teal A2-size panel and add to card base. (I used a previously released Embossing Folder of the Month.)
- Stamp Let’s Celebrate sentiment on Snowdrift cardstock and cut with circle die.
- Cut truck from a variety of cardstock colors. I created the “Flower Power” signage on my computer printer. Assemble truck. Pop truck up on light blue cardstock, cut slightly smaller than the truck, with foam adhesive, leaving room to slip in the flamingo and flowers.
- Cut flamingo (Plant It Here) and flowers and foliage (Plant It Here, Mini Blooms and Sprigs, Universal Curved Border, Lemon Zest) and assemble. Add elements to truck with dot and foam adhesive.
- Add sentiment and truck to dry-embossed background.
Looking for more inspiration with the “Food Truck”? I used the Large Die of the Month in this post.

Even as I write this comment, I am still laughing at the flamingo driver! What a super fun card.
Your card is amazing! The flamingo is perfect – good thing he has long legs to reach the gas and break pedals!

I just had to smile when I saw your card. It is such a happy card from the bright and vibrant colors to the embossed background to the truck itself. But having a flamingo driver is the best. What a delight!!!!!!!!!!
