Thomas The Train Card for Kaladin

Today I’m sharing an adorable Thomas The Train Punch Art Card.

My youngest grandson, Kaladin celebrated his 2nd birthday last week.  He’s totally obsessed with choo-choo trains right now.  So I had to make a Thomas The Train punch art card to go with his Thomas The Train themed birthday gifts.

How’d She DO That? Thomas The Train card

• Paper:
  • Azure Afternoon (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card base, 3-1/4″ x 4″ train, 2-3/8″ circle-cut in half)
  • Real Red (3/4″ x 4″)
  • Smoky Slate (3/4″ x 3-3/4″, 2-3/8″ circle-face, scraps for three 3/4″ circles from Round We Go Dies)
  • Basic White (4″ x 5-1/4″, large scrap for Mini Alphabet dies, scraps for five 3/4″ circles from Round We Go Dies)
  • Basic Black (two 2-3/8″ Circles, scraps for three 3/4″ circles from Round We Go Dies, 5/8″ x 2″ smoke stack)
• Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, 2-3/8″ Circle Punch, Round We Go Dies, Mini Alphabet Dies, Stampin’ Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin’ Dimensionals

DOstamping Instructions:

• For train:
  • Start by “building” the train from the bottom up onto the 3-1/4″ x 4″ Azure Afternoon train piece…Real Red strip, then Smoky Slate strip
  • For the top of the train, adhere blue half 2-3/8″ circle to black 2-3/8″ as shown, then adhere behind the top of the train
  • Adhere two 3/4″ black circles where shown
  • Add name of the birthday child using Mini Alphabet Dies
  • Adhere entire train to white panel and then to folded card
• For face:
  • Adhere Smoky Slate and Basic Black 2-3/8″ circles together as shown
  • Mouth/nose = adhere a Smoky Slate half circle (nose) to upper portion of white 3/4″ circle (so the bottom portion looks like a mouth/smile.  Then cut off the white circle to match the top of the nose
  • Cheeks = two Smoky Slate 3/4″ circles
  • Eyes = two 3/4″ white circles and 1/2″ of a 3/4″ circle (for each eye).  Use Paper Snips to cut out a notch in the flat side of the black half circle and adhere to a white circle.  Die cut a small partial circle out of a full 3/4″ circle.  Then adhere on top to complete the eye.  Adhere to face with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Eyebrows = from black smoke stack piece, use Paper Snips to cut off both bottom corners
  • Before adhere face to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals, attach to smoke stack first (option, cut top at an angle).

When you want to personalize your handmade projects, the Mini Alphabet Dies are the way to go.  That’s because ALL of the letters of the alphabet are on just one die – even doubles of popular letters.  So with one pass, you have all the letters you need (and more) to personalize your cards & gifts.
