Fire Truck shaped card...

My little man turned 4 on Monday so I wanted to create a fun card for him.  I decided on this cool fire engine.  He loves them.  Every time we see one when we're driving he yells, "Fire Truck".   It's kinda cute!

And the back...

Recipe:
Boys Will Be Boys Cricut cart - fire truck @ 4"  (I cut two shadows in white as the base of the card.  And I also cut two of everything else- making sure I flipped one so it could be the back), '4' @ 2"

Pop dots for the wheels, black bling, Diamond Stickles on the '4'.

I scored along the top of each fire truck and then just glued above the score lines to connect the two shadow card base pieces. 

This was an easy and fun card to make :-)  Thanks for stopping by today!
