Vintage Red Truck with Christmas Tree

Vintage Red Truck with Christmas Tree

Ever since I designed the 3D Pickup Truck, I wanted to make the oh so popular Vintage Red Truck with a Christmas Tree. I finally got around to making this version and I LOVE it!  It is on display amongst all my other Christmas decorations. I hope some of you enjoy it too!  In 2018, I added the wooden bed rails and slats to the file.  The Pickup Truck SVG File has been updated to include these. 

I added a little wreath embellishment I had in my Christmas goodies and 2 large rhinestones for the headlights.  Of course, I had to make my own custom license plates.

Then I had to have a Christmas tree in the back! Now you can better see the rails on the back. I also added melted down green perler beads to the middle of the wheels on the tires.

I used the Darice embossing folder Holly Vines for the embossed panel on the back of the truck. The Cone Christmas tree is something I designed recently. It is available for free and is sized to fix into the truck bed, as shown.

If you like this Pickup Truck design, you could easily make a Christmas truck using this popular Vintage Flatbed Truck SVG file too.

Tall Window Lantern – Christmas Version

Tall Window Lantern – Christmas Version

For me, many files in the Simply Crafty SVGs’ shop are versatile enough to use for multiple occasions.  This is not by accident.  As a crafter, I like to get the most bang for the buck, as I am sure most of you understand.  So, today, I made a Christmas version of the Tall Window Lantern SVG design.  It is so easy to customize for any holiday or season.  The original I made with a Spring feel, but I really wanted to make it for a Christmas decoration for my home.

I added a few Holly, Pine and Berry elements for the top using images from the Cricut cartridge 3D Floral Home Decor.  I used the leaves from design #MA404E and the holly and pine from design #MA404C. I also added a few rhinestone accents on the top.

I embossed the optional vellum panels with the Cuttlebug Victoria Embossing Folder.  I love the look of embossed vellum.

Instead of using a battery-operated tealight, I lit it up a small string of Fairy Lights. This really highlights the embossing pattern.
