Love Train

 Hi To All My Crafty Friends!

I don't know if you all are old enough to remember the song Love Train By the O'Jays.  It was an R&B hit back in 1972!  Now I am really dating myself! Anyway it is now playing in my head and that was the inpiration for this fun Valentine card.

Design Steps:

1.  Using the Circus Train die cut out the pieces on silver, white and black card stock. The little window and headlight I cut in white then colored with an C1 copic marker.  Next use the Be My Valentine Puppy die and cut out the pink and red hearts several times.  Turn the cage car over and glue down the hearts, add hearts to the wheels and car tops as shown

2.  For the base use a white A2 card, heart DP 4 x 5 1/4 and cut a white retangle using the second from the largest Stitched Scallop Rectangle die

3.  Glue the heart paper to the white card base then center and glue down the rectangle

4.  Pop up the train using dimensional dots or tape

5.  Add the sentiment layered on red card stock and finally add the sequins

6.  I decided to decorate the inside with some leftover paper and a little pink heart and your card is complete

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

I know slimline cards are all of the rage right now so I thought I would make one for Valentine's Day.  The Circus dies plus a few of our older dies made such a cute card.  I am not sure I can give it away!  Hee Hee

Design Steps:

1.  Using a variety of card stock and these two dies: Love Letters , Pedaling Puppy & Circus Train (for the little basket) cut out your pieces.  Shade them with several different inks and then glue them together with a fine tip glue

2.  Using the Sweetheart Dollies die and white card stock cut out one large circle and two of the second in size. Make your slimline card which is on white card stock also cut a piece 8 1/2 x 7 and then on the 7 inch side score at 3 1/2.  Cut a piece of hot pink card stock 3 1/4 x 8 1/4 and a piece of DP 6 1/2 x 3 1/8

4.  Glue the hot pink to the card front, glue the DP to the middle of the hot pink and the center your circles as shown above

5.  Use pop dots on the back of the little puppy and place in center circle.  Glue down flat the mail box and the little bird.  Stamp your sentiment below the bird and your card is complete
