Hi All, I love interactive cards and this one is another favorite. The Trucking Along Interactive Card is perfect for a neutral or masculine birthday. Most of the cards I’ve seen with this stamp set were Christmas cards, so I wanted to show that you can use this stamp set any time of the year. Especially for birthdays! The Trucking Along Bundle is an online exclusive set. You won’t see this set in any catalog. You have to go to my Stampin’ Up! website in the online exclusives area to find this set.

Additional Details
A couple of the items I used are retired. I’ve indicated work arounds above.
Placing the Pennies
You’ll need fairly large glue dots to place the first 2 pennies on the back of the truck. I used ½” glue dots. Then place a mini dimensional in the center of each penny. Position each penny/dimensional in the channel cut by the Curved Label Punch, then place the other 2 pennies on top of the dimensionals. Make sure the dimensionals are moving freely in the channel.
Once you have assembled this, use the foam adhesive to raise the back high enough on the card so the pennies continue to move freely. Adhere it down in place. For complete instructions, see the video below.
