On the Trains

Traincard

This is a little bit overdue, but here's the frantic last-minute card I made for my Dad for Father's day.  All recycled apart from the black base card. The train card was the back of a Cath Kidston catalogue (and indeed I own the dress in this print)

The blue was some scrap card of sorts. I have a set of very useful small letter punches which I occasionally use for cards. I think this is a simple effective way of making a card for any purpose- find a suitable themed backing paper and then punch letters to make a message!

  5. That card is very sweet and your dress is wonderful. You will have to "train" me how to make it. Or maybe just put me on the right "track" to doing it myself. Add an appropriate caboose joke here :) xo

  9. What a cute fabric for a dress and great idea to use the same images on a card! I love the idea of a letter punch and now am determined to get myself one!

  10. Very cute card and what a fun dress! I'm always surprised at the words that we English speakers have in common around the globe. I find new words often from Australia, but occasionally from the UK. Daddykins, however is a word we use here ... not a lot, but we use it. Isn't that funny? Surely it didn't come on the Mayflower, or any similar vessel. Such an endearing term.
