Ready to get started on this year’s stash of Christmas cards? Today’s cute pickup truck Christmas card is ready to deliver holiday cheer! Welcome to Festive Friday, where we are celebrating Parent’s Day with a Watercolor twist! I went with the twist.
I am so happy Stampin’ Up! came out with a new pickup truck set. Ride with Me is an adorable set, complete with pumpkins, balloons, and a tree to haul in the back. It includes sentiments for birthdays, encouragement, fall, and Christmas, making it a very versatile set. Because I need to get started on my holiday cards, I opted to create a Christmas card. I hope you enjoy it!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Stampin’ Blends are our friends! I used the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend to create the frosty winter sky. Dark Real Red shaded with Dark Smoky Slate was used for the truck. Light Balmy Blue was used for the window, and of course, Dark Basic Black is the perfect color for the tires. As for the tree, what could be better than Light and Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends?
All that glitters! To lend a frosty feel, a tree was die cut from Sparkle glimmer paper using a die from the In the Woods collection. A strip of Sparkle glimmer paper forms the roadway. Snowy hills were created simply by tearing strips of Whisper White cardstock.
The sentiment says it all! What could be more appropriate for a pickup truck Christmas card than a sentiment which says, “Wishing you loads of Christmas cheer!” It was punched out with the Timeless Label punch, then trimmed down.
The gingham paper from Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog is one of my favorites, and is available in all colors as part of the 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Stacks.

So dang cute! Love the truck and all the sparkly goodness!
Love, love, LOVE this one, Ann! Such a fun little scene you created and the pops of sparkle are perfect. Now you have me convinced that I need this stamp set.
Super card!!! Love the added glimmer to your perfectly designed and colored card.
I love your Christmas truck! I’m getting a start on the holiday stash this week too! Really, you can’t start too early, right?!
This is perfect! I just ordered the Ride With Me bundle and your card will be my first CASE. I especially like how you used the Blends to make everything about the truck stand out. Thank you, Ann!
Your pick up is adorable! I can’t believe that is time to take out the xmas spirit already.
Another Ann Schach masterpiece! Love it Ann!
What a wonderful Christmas card Ann. Love the white glimmer paper that you used.
Mary
Love, love, love your torn paper background! That and the sparkle strip make the whole card look so real. Fantastic!
This is just adorable Ann! I currently have this set out on my desk, having borrowed it from a dear crafty friend – I might have to do a quick case to help my Christmas stash too! So cheery and I love the snow drifts and frosty elements too – they set your truck off a treat!
