TRUCKING ALONG WITH OPTIONS

Hi Stampers,

Today we’ll take a look at the TRUCKING ALONG BUNDLE by Stampin’ Up!®️ This bundle includes the stamp set and coordinating punch. It is part of the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives collection found in my online store HERE. 

Several years ago Stampin’ Up! released a stamp set called, Loads of Love. The set featured a truck with various items that could be stamped to fill the bed of the truck. I loved that stamp set, as did many others. It was quite popular at the time. The TRUCKING ALONG set reminds me of the Loads of Love set, so of course I love it! But, I also love the TRUCKING ALONG stamp set / bundle for its versatility. 

I like this bundle because it offers so many options for creating the truck and its contents! 

The stamp set is a two-step set, meaning there are stamps that outline and detail the image, and stamps used to add color to the image. Of course, stamping the outline /detail image and coloring it with water color or Stampin’ Blends (alcohol markers) is always an option. It is also possible to create the truck by punching out a stamped version or by punching out the pieces from cardstock and putting them together. As of this date, the punch is out of stock. It should be available again around the middle of October. In the meantime, there are still great cards waiting to be created using the stamp set. Let’s take a look at my sample cards:
