Happy Birthday Dad truck card

My Dad is one special guy. I wanted to create a card that was just as extraordinary as he is. This box card did not disappoint. I don't know about you but I struggle with making guy cards. I like the bling and girly crafting so when I found this card svg file on Simplycraftysvgs.com site I was thrilled. 

The truck folds flat to be able to fit in an envelope. Which makes it even better. You get that 3D look but still be able to present it like any other card. This gives the Wow factor when they pull it out of the envelope and realize that it opens up to make a dimensional card. 

 Cardstock used: Blue, Red, and Natural cardstock colors. I was able to use my scraps for the small pieces and it took two 12x12 cardstock sheets for the base of the truck. 

As you can see below I did emboss the side panels to give it a little extra interest and guy feel. 

For the back of the truck I put a birthday saying to my dad. This is from a stamp set I have had for a very long time. This is why I never throw anything out. You never know when you are going to need it. LOL
