Hi there...following a very busy weekend with no time to blog, I'm excited to share a card with you that is of my own creation and not one I've seen or CASED from someone else! WOO HOO! Here we go.
It's so dramatic and soooooo simple! The train appears to pop off the page! Not only that, but it's a masculine card, too from the new set called Traveler. This one is for an anniversary, but I'm going to make another for my son-in-law for Father's Day. As you can tell from the side view picture, the card has dimension from the top with layered Dimensionals and appears to POP off the page! The directions and picture below will explain.
but when you look at this picture, you can see how the card was created with one piece of 3 3/4" square piece of Whisper White card stock.
I simply created three "frames" with the square framelits and mounted them on the Smoky Slate card stock from the bottom up. The largest frame is adhered with Snail adhesive; the middle layer with a layer of Dimensionals, and the top or smallest square has DOUBLE dimensionals--two layered on top of each other. It almost looks like the train is moving and coming off the paper.
The rest of the Stampin' products are listed below; and if you click on any of the products, you can go to my online store. Enjoy...!
Be sure to let me know if you have any questons--I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for sharing this card... Hope you don't mind but I'm going to CASE this for an upcoming card class! Will make a perfect male b'day card!

Thank you so much for this fantastic card, Pat. I love the clean look - the seeming motion has added impact. So well done!

Pat, this is awesome!! I'm going to case it for my husband's birthday tomorrow, if you don't mind. Your technique is so clever!! He will LOVE it! Thanks for sharing your instructions. Right before Christmas he got to be a Santa's Elf on the Florida East Coast Railroad Christmas Train from Jacksonville to Miami and has been even more over the moon about trains than before. Happy New Year!

This is my favorite card on pinterest done with this stamp set! It really looks as though it is moving. Hope you do not mind if I case it for my class next week! Thanks.

Mary -- Please case away! I have to admit this is one of my favorites. It's amazingly simple, and I'm sure your guests will love it as well. Thanks for your comment.

I don't understand when you say case this. I would really like to see a tutorial as I am new to stamping and am a visual person. I love this card and would really like to make it.

Hi Noreen -- I'm so sorry, I just saw your comment on my blog. Thank you! The best tutorial I can give is in the photo below the card image and the description below that. Basically it's three layers as shown cut with the Big Shot square dies. The dimension is achieved with the addition of Stampin' Dimensionals to make the top two layers higher. If you need anything beyond that, please just let me know! CASE means we "Copy And Share Everything" -- meaning we get our ideas from elsewhere. Sounds better than just "copy"! :) Welcome to the world of stamping.

Pat, Please may I have the measurements for you cards, the train as my husbands birthday is 7/21. And I would Love to make this card of yours, he was a locomotive engineer for 41 years.. it would blow his mind if he'd receive a card like that card.
