There are several unused die cut pieces that I keep handy in a container as well as an array of unfinished and unused embellishments.
Since the majority of elements for the vintage truck and the camper (minus just a couple) were available in my stash, plus with the 4th of July only a few weeks away, I felt it called for some new summer holiday decor.
The basic main, precut pieces were were painted either with red paint and blue paint. All tires were painted black. The hub caps, the camper door and window were colored by rubbing them with silver Luster wax. The lower decorative strip on the camper is covered with metal tape.
Once the truck and camper were constructed, a piece of styrofoam was cut to place into the open area of each piece. Several star shapes were die cut from gold card stock. A toothpick was glued between two star shapes and they were used to fill the truck, along with several paper flags. A large leftover rosette from an older project was glued to a popsicle stick and placed into the styrofoam inside the camper. The missing pieces were the hitch element, so I found a way to attach the ring element from the folio die to both the truck and camper. A screw fits into the small end on the one on the back of the truck; while a small elastic band, attached to campper piece can be connected over the screw to hold the two larger pieces together.

Another photo view of the display, this time along with some of the other "leftover" and unfinished projects projects on the left side. Determined to get the one Pass Book and two wrapped journals finially completed this year to add to my red, white and blue decor items. On
On the right side is a near complete work in progress! Inside the fabric covered book (Folio Journal Die) is another version of the shadow box frames. Will share them all soon!
Happy Making to All!
