Special Delivery
Hello crafters! I started today's card by having a rummage through my printed papers pile. I found these two and decided to use them together. I added a thin black strip of card between the border of both of them. I cut the First Train in black gloss card and added the extra wheels for dimension cut in black. I cut matching stars and filled the train car with them. I cut a white piece to seat the trains on then matted it in black and added it to the card. I used the Cutest Clothesline cut in white to hand stars from as bunting. I cut the letters from the Art Deco Alphabet alphabet lower case set and glued them to the bunting stars. I cut the Special Delivery sentiment in black and added it to a white backing piece and attached it below the train. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. It certainly is a special delivery, but also a 1st birthday too for the cutest of little boys. It's a fabulous mix of new dies all geared up for the newest of little ones, oh oh, and how about a retirement for someone that worked for the rail or who loves getting involved with steam trains or the likes (Amtrack) I knew there was a reason for being 'late' my brain has woken up too lol. Thank you for this collection of beautiful new dies, I really need every single one of them, but I also need a reason to make people smile again through the inspiration you give. Love to all this lovely spring day xxx
Good morning Sue, a fabulous card, so cute and I wouldn’t have thought of using the stars for bunting, fabulous. Great inspiration Sue. Thank you Marion S x

Morning Sue and all. What an adorable card - absolutely love it! And the train die set is definitely not just for children either - it will be used on my dad’s upcoming birthday card as he is a steam train fanatic! Colleen xx
Hi Sue. I love this little train and the good thing about it is that it could be used for many different occasions by filling the tender with different objects. Imagine it filled with presents or trees for Christmas.
Hi Sue Happy Wednesday everyone x What a wonderful card. Obviously a fabulous new baby card, but with a bit of ‘tweaking’ could be used for many occasions for train enthusiasts young and old x Take care everyone x Sending positive thoughts to all x Crafty hugs x PP Yvonne x
Absolutely gorgeous post - love the pinks (big statement for the person that doesn't do pink lol) and the train die set one of my favourites from the launch is perfect in black...
A lovely dramatic card today which I rather like & I will be using the train for some birthday cards, for my son in law (train driver) & gt.grandson who loves trains. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue, a great card and the First Train set is certainly not just for new-borns. Although my husband, a lifetime railwayman is a long time retired he still has a keen interest in trains all over the world. I don't think little boys ever really grow up :-).
Hi Sue Love the colours on your background papers. The train is cute with the baby washing line What thickness do you prefer to print your papers on ladies ? Maria x
