One of the things that I love about making my own greeting cards is being able to customize the card for the recipient. Little things like making a truck image the same color as the recipient’s ride.

This card was made using the Trucking Along stamp set for my nephew and family. They own a livestock hauling business and have a gray truck. They also sell farm produce among the other things that they do so the Farm Fresh sign on the door is super appropriate.

TIP: If an ink color is too dark to match the color that you are looking for, try stamping off on a scrap of paper before stamping on your card. To get a darker image use a stamp position tool so that you can stamp the image more than once and get it lined up perfectly.

These little extra steps make your handmade cards extra special!
