My oldest grandson, Cohen, turned 4 this month and for once I had his birthday card ready ahead of time! This card using the "I Dig You" stamp set will probably be a one-of-a-kind, at least for me, because I stamped each section of the trackhoe's digging arm separately, clean-then-stamp, clean-then-stamp, which took a bit of time, but of course for Cohen, who loves all things with wheels, or diggers, or trains, or Monster Trucks, it was worth it!

I put the diggin' arm together with brads so it can move!

Lots of markering and the presents were stamped separately then cut out so they would fit in the loader back and bucket, but the animals stamped perfectly directly in the "dump" of the truck! I love this set!
