| Train Birthday Card |
I can't believe it's a year since I blogged about a new baby in our family and created this keepsake. Now he is one and time has just flown.

This little train card was an handmade, project, well how could I of not made a special effort for a first Birthday?
Some tricks I picked up to save time...
Dye cut cards are easy to come across on the internet or in craft shops. Save lots of time cutting out one.
Since I discovered washi tape I have not looked back! The little train motif is stuck on with double sided foam tape to raise it from the card.
I covered the plain card in textured craft paper and cut out the details with a spark knife. Any uneven edges where disguised using a stamp pad which was brushed against the edges in a contrast colour.
Letraset is fab for simple words on cards and it's super quick. You can place it and just rub it off.It may take a few goes to get the technique right but then you can customise cards and tag in seconds!
To add some posh details, I used a foamed backed paper then in a stamp cutter and cut out a few squares to frame the card.
Choo, choo to a cutie who is one!
