When I first saw the design for Block cards- I thought they looked like a train or maybe stairs. I had to try to see if I could make a train come to life. I made two! This one is a more straight forward train. I used SU's oval punch to make the roof of the train. The wheels are Spellbinder's circle dies with the center a Spellbinder's flower die. Here is a picture of the back-
My husband did not like my first attempt at turning the Block card into a train- see below. I was going for Whimsical- He is more of a realist!
I added a picture of our Grandson as the conductor. The roof is from a SU punch- the name escapes me. These block cards are fun to make! You can check out my previous posts to find the link to the instructions from PaperCrafter 45!
Chris, you just made me get out of my desk chair and start cutting and stamping! This train and all your block cards are amazing. Thanks for sharing the link earlier and your amazing art.
