PTI anniversary, day 10: I choo-choo-choooose you

I was already making a little valentine's day train card for my nephew when I read the challenge from PTI today: create an interactive card.


So, the card that was planned as a simple, little valentine got a whole lot fancier...

I created a track for the train with the SU "word window" punch.  I drew a straight line on my cardstock, and repeatedly punched along that line.


A little devoid of color for a 3 year old, but the sliding train should make up for that :)

  1. This is so cute. Your nephew will love it. Trains and motion--perfect for a little boy. Thanks for reminding me about that SU punch. I bought it way back for these sorts of things, and then promptly forgot about it.

  17. Super cute, Elena! That valentine sentiment is one I often think of when I think of "punny" valentine sentiments-- & an early episode of the Simpsons where Lisa gives a valentine with this sentiment to Ralph. :)

  18. Really cute, and well done :-) that word punch might be worth more now that you've figured out two uses for it!!
