Sneak Peek: Halloween Train

Hi Everyone! Carly here and I’m delighted to share a sneak peek of the new Halloween Train! I have been obsessed with PPP’s trains ever since the Valentine Train because they are not only adorable but so versatile! Let me show you what I mean…

New release will be available August 12th

Black & white images with a colorful sentiment is one of my favorite card designs for critter cards but it works for the new Halloween Train set too! 

I die cut the Spooky Wishes from a card panel and then stamped the train cars beneath it. I added “sending” from Sentiment Strips: Birthday and then adhered the panel to a folded card.

I ink blended a scrap panel with Distress Oxide Dried Marigold & Kitsch Flamingo and then die cut Spooky Wishes again and inlaid the colorful one on the card.

For this next card I had fun stamping, die cutting and coloring a bunch of train cars. 

Copic colors: RV63, RV52, RV10, RV00, RV000, B00, B00, T4, T2, YR07, YR04 & E02.

Then I stamped the sentiment and the train tracks on the front of a folded card. BTW, it’s easy to curve the train tracks on your acrylic block/stamping tool before stamping.

I arranged the cars on the tracks (but didn’t adhere yet) and then positioned the link stamp, moved the cars out of the way and stamped the links on the card front. I also added a few bats and faux splatter with a pen.

Finally I foam mounted the cars to card front and trimmed the bits that hung off the edge.

And of course I couldn’t resist creating another treat train! 

It’s really such an easy project and you can see the process in this video.

Copic colors: B99, B97, B95, RV63, RV52, T4, T2, YR07, YR04 & E02.

Thanks so much for stopping by and don’t forget to mark your calendars for the release!
