all aboard...

Choo choo! I have two boyish cards for you today. I will admit, I'm not the best at making boy cards, but I had a go at this cute little set called Train Tracks.

I don't own any Copic markers to color in the train, so I stamped it onto Studio Calico patterned paper. (First, I used the Train Tracks dies to cut out the pieces.) The little track is made with two strips of cardstock and then machine stitched. I used the Ad Sense die to create some little smoke puffs.

I also stamped the presents onto various papers from my stash and cut them out.

The Grandpa card utilizes the My Hero, My Dad set and the Chevron Stripes.

I tried to keep it on the simple side with two punched stars inked with Versamark ink to add a subtle shading effect and a button backed with a paper cut out with the Ad Sense scalloped circle die again.

I just love how the team has utilized the Chevron Stripes set. So many neat ideas for all of the sets. I'm so impressed with how each of the ladies comes up with totally different designs using the exact same sets!
