In our family we have some train lovers, I'm talking about my husband. When we were engaged and living in South Carolina we lived about a block away from train tracks. Every evening my husband would call the Amtrak hotline to see if the train was on time, it was always late! Then we'd walk a block and wait for the train, every night, just to see it whiz by. But every time there's a train in a stamp set I have to get it. I have to make a train card for my husband. The Moving Along set is soooo cute and in addition to the train you could stamp lots of other modes of transportation. The little car-SO CUTE!!!!
For this card I stamped an engine and lots of cars. I honestly didn't know how many I'd need so I kept stamping. I then fussy cut them all out. You don't need to fussy cut them I just wanted the added dimension, but stamping them direction onto the card would be just fine too. I love the Z-Fold for this card, because what you think is a two car train expands into many cars! So fun!!!
Z-Fold cards are really easy, start with your basic card base at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored on the long side at 4 1/4", then score it again at 2 1/8". Fold your score lines in opposite directions to make a Z with your cardstock. Embellish your card as desired. I added very little to this card. It's basically just stamps, ink and paper. Very simple but very cute and still packs a punch with it's fancy fold. I have full supply list below.
