Here is another version of the Train Box Card. This time in a winter theme with a Snowman engineer! The train card was cut with my Sizzix eClips2, with the exception of the Joy tag and snowman.
I embossed the front train panel using the Darice Embossing Folder Snowflake Background 5″X7″. This black cardstock from Core’dinations has a light blue core. Paper pack used is Core’dinations Black Magic Cardstock , Hocus Pocus, 6″ x 6″. After embossing, I lightly rubbed sandpaper over the raised areas to expose the blue core.
Then used different size adhesive rhinestones for the front, back light and wheels.
I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas Countdown. This is my version using the Perpetual Calendar.
I first created the base and added the panels. I used the Red and Forest Green Cardstock from Cricut.com. Although American Crafts Cardstock is my preference, Cricut cardstock cuts well, just not as sturdy (in my opinion). The Christmas paper I received from a friend and has no markings. It went well with the Cricut cardstock colors.
Then I assembled the number blocks. When using the number blocks, if you use the configuration in project instructions, the highest number of days will start at 32, even though I am showing 40. To make the countdown go all the way up to 67 days, make an additional number block with the numbers 1,3,4,5,6,7. The wreath and bow is from the Holiday Lamp Post.
I use a variety of cutting machines. For this project, I used the Sizzix eClips2. For the “Christmas countdown” sentiment, I used the Sizzix eClips Pen Adapter (http://amzn.to/2zU3IFy) with a generic gold gel pen to write the sentiment. It took a little adjusting, but I finally found the right size collet to hold the pen. I used a modified tag from the eClips library.
Check out DT Mike’s “spin” on cards using our Smiley Christmas Treat Box Set. He used the reindeer and elf images to create two very cute and interactive Holiday cards!
Here is a shaped card he created with the Reindeer. What is not to love?
This the the Elf Spinner card. Just so fun!
