Yummy, cupcake delivery truck. Wouldn't that be nice if it came to your town.

I had a shaker card like this in mind since getting the Tasty Trucks stamp set from Stampin' Up. I used the truck, the cupcake, the flag and the banner stamps from that set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I colored the those stamps with Soho colored pencils (in colors Pink Coral 132, Magenta 134, Naples Yellow Light 201, and Mars Yellow 204).  I punched a bunch of the cupcakes out with 1/2 inch circle punch to make confetti for the card.  I cut the window out of the truck with a craft knife and the fussy cut out the truck.

I made the frame with the frame punch board (by We Are Memory Keepers) out of white card stock.
 Then I used the dot cluster from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar
stamp set by Stampin' Up in Blushing Bride Stampin' Up ink.  I then taped an acetate piece to the back of the frame and glued the truck and banner to the front of the frame and acetate sheet.

Finally, I cut a pink piece of paper and glued it to a index card for the background.  I doubled up some foam tape onto the back of the frame and filled it with the cupcake confetti and glitter.  Fixed the background onto the back of the filled frame.

It is fun to shake the cupcakes around and see them picking out of the truck window.  I went with a pink color theme to give the card a fun whimsy feel.  You could easily make this into a birthday card. Just changing up the color scheme to blue or green, for a male who doesn't appreciate a whole pink card. I am not really a girly, girly but I just love this all pink card.

I do enjoy making greeting cards to send out to my friends and family.  The only thing is that then you don't have your creation anymore.  The nice thing about this challenge is that I  can keep this card from myself and still make a few greeting cards to send out to my love ones.
