TheMisterT’s good friend who is a wine maker surprised us by shipping us a half-case of his wines! Of course, I had to bust out my Cricut to make a thank you card.
I used my Sizzix Big Shot to emboss the panel on the back.
The files for this originally had a red truck with a big tree in the back, but the files came with one for a “plain” truck, too. I used that, then made my own files from clipart to cut the wine bottle and label.
His winery is called Goodfellow Family Cellars, so I used those initials to customize the license plate. Self-adhesive “gems” made the head and tail lights.
It was a little fiddly to glue all those circles, but I love how cute the wheels and tires are with them! I decided to use adhesive foam to give the fenders some added dimension. I used them on the wine bottle label, too. There was no way for me to make a mini version of their label since our scanner and color printer are out of service, but I think the little self-adhesive pearl captured the gist. The labels on the reds are maroon and silver.
I’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again: you are one clever crafter!

I like how you personalize your cards…the recipients know that it is a meaningful and heartfelt “thank you” or sentiment because of all the details you put in! The gemstone lights are just so cute and I love that you substituted a wine bottle for the tree!
Thanks so much, everyone! This was a relatively easy make (once papers were chosen) and now that I know I can put just about anything in the bed, I will definitely be making more.
Oh yes, so much! I remember posting that any stitcher would love to receive the tomato pin cushion card you made and then it showed up at my house! I keep that where I will see it’s every day. I would betcha a half case of wine your friend is going to to keep that truck card forever, it is so great.
No way! I’m keepin’ that half-case! Well, it’s only 5 bottles now… He is a middle-aged, single dad of two young boys, so I imagine he will not keep it forever. But I do imagine it will be set upon his deck or something for awhile until one of the boys decided to play with it or he needs the space. That’s fine!
