I am blessed….I need to say that again, I am blessed!
When I saw this truck I melted (it was pictured in the SAB Catalog) ….and as much as I knew I wanted to see it made in person, I knew that I did not have the talent, patience and time…so the LIGHT-BULB went off and I shot my dear friend and customer an email to see if she was up for the challenge!
Game ON as she was excited 😀 and in the mail went the stamp set to her! Mary Ann has sooooo much talent as she is one that often (really just about daily) leaves a comment and it is a GOAL for me to meet her one day!
This SUPER FUN food truck was made with the SAB FREEBIE stamp set, Tasty Trucks. I it is just adorable and even better…. is is free. I shared with you last week about a BUCKET LIST and true, I would LOVE to have a food truck! I have it all planned out in my head! 😀 In the adorable note that Mary Ann wrote to me, I burst out laughing when she said….“You can now cross #2 off your Bucket List!”
Doesn’t this just make you smile? I admit, I have a cold…and I feel like my head is a bowling ball (and I rarely get sick) but when this was in my mailbox yesterday…it was the BEST pick-me-up one could ever have and I was soooooooo excited to share with you!
I do hope that you give Mary Ann some COMMENT LOVE and let’s hit it out of the park as this is OUT OF THE PARK! Please feel free to ask her some questions if you have some… I cannot credit the super patient person that came up with these but here you go!
(click below)
(Good LUCK – and maybe I need to give it a try – heck what’s more grey hairs sprouting!)
This was shared to the PALS from Mary….and again, I apologize that I cannot give proper credit to the patient person that created this – for some reason I think that these came from the home office!
Side view…..this is just a SMILE MAKER plus it had Hershey Kisses…..it doesn’t get much better than that!
If you read my comments when I respond, I often refer to Mary Ann as the Sheep herder…..below you will see why! She made this for me probably 2 years ago and it proudly sits at my work area so I can see it daily!
When I tried to recreate it….mine looked like Rod Stewart.… I can remember sending her a picture of mine…(she was complimentary to me but I knew it looked ridiculous) and I will say it created a great laugh! I know that many of us do not do a bunch of 3-D’s but they are actually fun! Mary Ann has taught me to try……pop back tomorrow and you will see a “Susan 3 -D” – in a SIMPLE WAY!
My Truck will go right up in my work area and I will smile every day when I see it. I am really serious about having a food truck one day – We often have a dicussion about what to name my business – we all know my truck needs a name….any ideas? This is my vision….you all know that a “happy place” for me is being at Horse Shows…well most of the shows that we go to have food trucks .
I told John that this just makes sense….I could have a food truck – help pay the expenses of the horses being shown…I would be in HOG HEAVEN….(sorry Daisey) as I could take care of many of my loves…..COOKING….BEING WITH PEOPLE…..BEING WITH HORSES AND DOGS….I COULD SCRAP IN THE DOWN TIMES….heck – I should have a mini studio built on the end of the truck!
This is how sweet Mary Ann is….one for me and one for my dear friend, Jeanie (now she is also super talented with 3-D’s and I am sure when she gets her paws on this truck ~ she will make one as well!).….she will cherish it as much as I do!
This food truck means the world to me because it reminds me of the fun and friendship I have gained by becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. It’s hard to put into words as most of my local friends simply “don’t get it”…but I will say John and the peeps know many of you by name because I talk often of you.
I started this fun just about 5 years ago to get a discount and then I was going to do nothing…..cause it really is as easy as that….but I sure am glad that I stuck around because the friendship and sheer inspiration of this wonderful journey is the best….
I would LOVE for you to be on it with me…..email me and I will be glad to share with you how easy it is and how you truly have nothing to lose…no obligations to sell and the great thing…you get a discount each and every time you want something! 🙂
wow! you are blessed to have such a talented friend! I love this little truck and am looking forward to the pdf so i can try to make one for myself.
This is AWESOME!!! You are definitely blessed with her friendship and she has been given an AMAZING talent from God. Thanks for sharing your story with us. From reading your blog, I can definitely see you having a good truck at the horse show events.
I love, love, love it!!!! I am so looking forward to the PDF. Maryanne – you did a wonderful job. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow! These are so Adorable, Mary Ann! You did a knock-out job with this truck! How Sweet of You to put some kisses inside too! Very fun indeed. I made 2 of those sheep; one for each of my grandsons for Easter. Though I’m sure they were more interested in the chocolate that came with them than the sheep! Lol! We don’t live close by so I didn’t get to see how they reacted.
Wow! ❤️This 3-d truck! Great job Mary Ann! Can’t wait for the PDF but in reality I know I will need to wait for “Susan 3-d” the simple way. ?
beautiful – beep beep
Genius! I’m speechless. Love it. I make a lot of 3Ds for party favors for family and friends. Well, put this set on my list of sab I “thought” I didn’t need but now gotta have. MaryAnn thanks for the great idea. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Hi Susan and Mary Ann, This story is such a wonderful one. The Food Truck is great. Mary Ann your attention to detail is great. I love all the little touches. Susan, yours should be a cookie truck, “Susan’s Sweets”
I’m sitting here watching the snow and blizzard-like conditions. I’m so happy to be nice and warm and cozy with coffee in hand. I hope everyone is safe today and does not go out unless absolutely necessary.
Happy Thursday!
🙂
Awww, Nancy, on my side of Maryland (Annapolis) we only have cold rain and LOTS of wind. Gale warnings in effect. Glad you are able to stay in and enjoy that coffee!
SOOOO creative! What talent!
Susan, I am so glad I am not the only one who is “computer-challenged”. Lol
Looking forward to the instructions. Thanks for sharing them, Mary Ann.
What a cute truck and great job Mary Ann did. I love Mary Fish’s comment…beep beep!! Too funny. Snow is falling but not much has accumulated yet. We’ll see how accurate the weather people are. Stay safe and warm!
I live in Australia and each night when I go to bed I check my emails and a few Stampin’ Up blogs. Yours is usually the first one I open. I love your blog and feel like we’re mates. If ever I get to the USA I promise to look you up in Randall Lane.
Keep up the good work, it’s what makes the world go round.
PS it takes me forever to track down some of the little extras you recommend, but when I do it’s worth the trouble.
Thank you for sharing
So adorable! It makes me want to go home and open that cute stamp set for the first time and try (underlined) to case it!!! Wonderful talent!!!
The details on the track are amazing! I’m not a 3-D person either so am very impressed that someone will go to the time and trouble to create them. Kudos to Mary Ann!
3D food truck, never thought of it that way. Super cue!
Cute
Oh Mary Ann what a cute and wonderful job you did! At the card club I attend we made a card with the truck stamped on it. I opted to finish mine at home as I wanted to put some enamel dots or metal colored hub caps on the truck and jazz it up a bit! What I really wanted to do was to stamp a couple so I could make a 3D version and really bling it up! But, I made the card at least. She was wanting us to color the tires green or blue not even gray or black. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to finish off the front of the truck though. I have seen the 3D versions of the UPS, postal, and Fed Ex trucks as well as the school buses. I have put those on my Bucket List now.
Susan, since the truck is called the Sweetest – you will need to sell sweet treats for all from your wonderful ginger cookies, to sweet peppermints for the horses, and of course treats for the dogs! Hey, maybe we can go into business together as I love making different flavored dog biscuits. Of course we would have to have some chocolate for the humans too as well as carob for the dogs. I also make a great chocolate cake, brownies, muffins, biscotti, etc. when I try.
Jeanie will love her truck! Great job Mary Ann!
Love, love love the food truck favor, Mary Ann! And Susan, I am lucky enough to have met Mary Ann. We were crafty buddies in a stamp club, where I first met her. And I know first hand she is very talented!! Miss seeing her now that I am a demonstrator.
Kathy! We had so much fun at club…..miss seeing you, my friend!
Your food truck box ROCKS Mary Ann! I think I need this set just to make boxes like this. Thanks for sharing this fun project Susan.
Love the food truck, Mary Ann! Thank you for sharing this, Susan! I had this set more toward the bottom of my ‘must have’ list, but I am reconsidering after seeing this post. I am never disappointed when I check out your daily blog 🙂
Good morning Susan,,, Mary Ann ( that’s my name also) your food truck is AMAZING. LOVE IT.. Now I want to make one . So adorable. Thanks so much for sharing.
Amazing food truck Mary Ann! That is just the cutest thing ever. It does take patience to make 3D items and you executed this perfectly!
What a adorable truck! Mary Ann did a superb job making it 3-D…
LOVE the truck!!! Mary Ann, you have inspired me to break open the stamp set!!! I have a friend who’s son is getting married and the theme is tacos. I can’t wait to make this truck for her! Susan, bring your food truck to sailing regattas!!! Oh wait, all the sailors are on the water all day, but you would get slammed when they get off the water! Hope you recover from the cold ASAP!!!
What a surprise when I opened your site just now! I am doing the happy dance that I made you smile, Susan. Your words are too kind….thank you, my friend. My blogger friends, you made my day with all your beautiful comments. I so appreciate our cyber friendships. Thank you!
This is an adorable project. They would be so fun for a “take-away” gift after a party. Susan, since your food truck would be at horse shows, you could call it “The Old Feed Bag”. We would get something called a “walking taco” in a bag at ballgames, and the kids loved eating their taco from a plastic bag. Even put special take-away treats in a 3-D model of your truck. OK, that may be a little too much, but they would be cute advertisement.
So cute. I can’ even imagine the patience this took to make. I love the sheep, also. I think you should call your ‘real’ food truck Eddie’s Place
Absolutely awesome truck, Mary Ann! I’m poring over the details and they are fantastic. Susan, thanks so much for your continual inspiration!
Yay Mary Ann! I love everything you make! Can’t wait to see this little truck in real life! I know it will make me smile too ?
Lisa! You are too sweet. See you soon, my friend!
Super cute…. Mary Ann is one talented gal! Wish I had the patience to do something like that.
So cute! Mary Ann lives right down the road from me (I’m in Freehold, NJ)! We need to invite her to demo to our stamp group!! TFS, Susan.
That is the cutest. Glad you were able to mark something off your bucket list. It reminds me of when I use to make miniatures in high school when my eye sight was better to see small things.
3 words for that food truck: A. MAY. ZING! (Coincidentally, my late husband also wanted a food truck–specifically, one of those Lemon Shake-Up outfits. The truck, and golf, were his “retirement plan”: one would pay for the other) And the sheep is just adorable. Mary Ann is one talented lady!
Holy Cow ! I was here early this morning and the subject was still The Pals Blog Hop …..I drop in just in case there might be a new post just now and BAM ! This place has exploded !
I have been looking at that truck in the SAB catty and wondering WHY SU has not given out the info on how to put this cutie together !! I am not too 3D inclined ,but this is an exception !
Thank you New Jersey Mary Ann !! I have this set and it has not been opened yet so WOW ! What Fun !!
Lucky Ducky you ,Susan ….what a treat ! I think a Food Truck would be the perfect adventure for you ! You could even have Milo be your REAL LIVE HOT DOG along for the ride !!
FUN FUN FUN !! Oh ….the weather here in my area is bea utiful ….a Spring like day ! Can`t beat North Carolina for the weather !! We are probably going to get our second snow though before Easter . Thought I would just drop that in since we are now entering weather reports !!! Giggle !!
Susan I love the little truck and wanted to make it , but when I clicked on the directions nothing showed up . Any ideas on how to get the directions ? Just love your blog and all your ideas and your side notes about your dogs,horses, family, etc. etc. and especially your clean cute cards. Judy T
I just clicked on and it worked….try again or send me an email and I will copy and paste it for you!
Dear Susan, Hi how are you doing. I am sorry you are under the weather. There is a lot of nasty bugs going around here. I love Mary Ann’s truck. It is so adorable. Your details arfe amazing. I appreciate that You had the directions to follow. I think I might have to wait to see your version. Mary Ann, you did a wonderful job on your truck.
I love the idea of you wanting to own a food truck some day. You would have amazing at it as you are in everything you do. You would have so many customers. The crowd would see a great lady and a great foodie. I know all of your fur babies would be missing you. But with your great personality. You would make a fortune. “YOU GO GIRL”… In your spare time you would be teaching all of your customers the gift of stamping great cards to give to their family and friends. Hugs, Ellen Hinds
This is precious and I am envious! I would not even attempt to make one unless someone was by my side! Wonder who that would be??? Thanks for sharing Mary Ann’s talent!
Love Mary Ann’s truck!!! I have got to try it!!!!! You mentioned being in Hog’s Heaven and I think you named your food truck already and didn’t realize it!!! Just be sure to serve pork on the menu somewhere!!!!
For some reason I had stopped receiving your blog in my email and after 3 days of thinking you must be taking a little break…..I think my server was messing with me.
So…..I’m back!!!!!
Oh my gosh! This is too much fun. I love Mary Ann’s food truck. I’d love to try one myself and maybe I will (just wait for my fever to get higher so I can be properly delusional). Sorry to hear that you are under the weather too. I think I’m the way out of it. Everyone around has it. I have to say Hog’s Heaven sounds like a good food truck name if you are going to be serving pork. My first thought was Susan’s Slop and then serve comfort food. Come ‘n get it!
Wow. What an adorable Food Truck. Love it.
Just darling! Great job on the truck! Susan….we all thank Stampin’ Up for introducing you to us!
Praying you are well real soon Susan. Mary Ann’s food truck is adorable and I am certain it gave you that special lift you needed. The vision of you in a food truck at all the horse shows you attend put an immediate smile on my face. Thank you.
Oh Mary Ann I forgot to tell you I loved your card also. The heart “lips” look so cute on the top egg and with the crack where it is, makes it look like the eyes are closed. Just really cute. You were such a good egg for making the truck box and card for Susan (and Jeanie). I wish we had a photo of the front of the truck too.
Susan, I hope you are feeling better soon.
You are so sweet, Chris. It was fun to make both the truck and card. Thanks!
Could you please send me the instructions for the truck it’s the best thank you Vikki
So cute Susan and so sweet of you to feature a friend’s creations. Love them all!
You would look good in a food truck. Can not wait to get mine stamp set. Love dear friend Alyece
Hi Vikki….if you scroll up near the top of post Susan attached them right under the tasty truck stamp set and the title is in green. They are from SU and I followed them (tweaked a little maybe). It is not hard just a little tedious with the cutting. Have fun!
Oh my GOSH!!! I am just catching up on emails and blogs (I have a very good excuse for why I am behind!!!) When I opened your blog and saw this truck I thought, this is just the cutest…how sweet! THen when I kept reading and found out I get one too…WOW!! Mary Ann, you made my day…heck you made my week!!! You can’t imagine how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I do love 3D projects and like Susan, I’m not sure I could tackle this one! You did a marvelous job and I can’t wait to see it in person. Susan, get well! A cold is my biggest fear right now as coughing would rip my stitches. Oh no!!! It even hurts to laugh and you know that’s not good for me!!!
That is the cutest truck, and to think I was not even going to get that set. Now I’m glad that I did. Would love the directions. Please send the PDF. Thank you.
