Good Morning Stampers!
I am so excited to share today's project with you. I love it! Recently, I went to Target and was looking through the summer toy department and was thinking of what I could do with a mini version of the summer toys. I found different items but this little truck won. When I saw this trucks I thought of summer. What little boy doesn't love to go out in the summer and fill a truck with dirt and rocks? I loved the colors on this truck and knew I wanted to make it into a cute party favor.
It finally came to me to make some chocolate pudding with cool whip. So I made the chocolate pudding as instructed on the box and mixed in some Cool Whip (add to taste). Then, I took crushed Oreos and mixed them in. That's it!! It is so yummy!!
Before putting it together, I placed an Oreo cookie onto the bed of the truck to create an anchor for the skewer. Then I placed the pudding mixture onto the truck and took crushed oreos and heavily sprinkled them on top. Isn't this so cute!!! I put it in the refrigerator overnight to let it set. That was it!!
Now I had to incorporate stamping into my project so I used the "Say It With Scallops" stamp set that is retiring at the end of this month. Can you believe this is the first time I have used it? ughh!!! I created this cute topper and attached it to a skewer and cut it down. I used a skewer as I thought it would hold better in the pudding mixture. I also used sticky strip to join the two pieces of the topper to prevent them from separating. After all pieces were punched out and assembled, I tied a piece of black gingham ribbon around the skewer and I was done. How easy is that? Imagine creating these for a boy's next summer birthday party. What child wouldn't love to take this little truck home after the party? How about a baby boy truck baby shower? Everybody will be oohing and aahing! By the way, you can use the sugar free/fat free pudding mix with skim milk and light cool whip. I promise you it tastes great without giving the children and adults all that sugar.
