Mat the ATC box box both the outside 

and inside  with the pattern sheets. 

You can use your own discretion when 

measuring I normally leave a small 

border so that I can still see a bit of the box. 

Identify and cut the Truck shapes shown 

in the assembly above using the pattern 

sheets from the DCE collection.

Engine Hull Section

Cab Section

Truck Bed Section and

Chassis Section

Tip: I always use the red double sided 
tape for all my off the page projects.
 It makes assembly easier and will 
also prevent the project from falling apart.

Cut 2 long strips of grunge paper measuring 

30 cm x 1.5 cm and 2 small strips measuring 

10 cm x 1.5 cm. Originally I wanted the 

straps to go around the ATC box and 

then just slip them off when opening it 

but then I decide to cut the pieces off 

where the lid of the box

opens up instead.

Cut 3 tags to mat the black tags

 (from the book box) using the G45

 tag die. Add a mixed media textured die 

to the tags and cut.

Tip: Use masking tape to keep the 
die in place,thus making sure it 
stays in the position you want it.

Ink the edges of the little stickers 

from the collection and mat onto 

cardstock. I used the the Graphic 45 

signature series lights pack. LOVE 

these signature series packs

they coordinate well with the 

G45 collections. 

Cut 3 apothecary bottles from 

chipboard using the Tim Holtz 

apothecary bottles bigz die. Colour 

these with some rust pastes. 

You will notice that I used these 

cute plastic car wheels for my truck

instead of the ones from the cut file. 

Paint the 'rim' of the wheel

 with black gesso and colour with 

some metallique waxes.

 Tip: I wanted the wheels to match 

the colours of my truck plus all

 the embellishments are the 

same colour too.

Add some washi tape to the roof

 of the truck. Add a chipboard

 embellishment on top adhere 

with foam squares.

Tip: Adhering these pieces with

 foam squares will give it a little dimension.

Add some metal chain on

 the sides of the truck.

Add the metal handles and G45 

door knobs to the 'doors' of the truck. 

Tip : Adhere the metal pieces with soft
 gloss gel or glossy accents ensuring

they will not fall off. 

Add the chipboard clocks to the 

'lights' of the truck. Add an art pebble 

to each adhere with glossy accents.

Add the metal embellishments to
the book box as seen in picture.
Adhere all of these with a soft gloss
 gel. Add the matte pearl gems on top 

of the box in the centre.

Add some embellishments and 

chipboard on the side of the box let 

them hang from metal and ball chains.

Tear some pieces of cloth randomly

 and add to the inside of the box.
