Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! October is probably my favorite month of the entire year and I can’t believe it’s here already! Yay for my birthday and Yay for Fall! ;) Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a mini slimline for a super sweet little boy who turned one a few days ago! This was such a fun card and features our Train Mix Brads and Sun & Cloud Brads. I semi-CASEd the sentiment on one of my own designs from several years ago where I used a tractor.
I cut a mini slimline landscape top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock. I printed the front and inside sentiments on a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock and trimmed them down to be slightly smaller than the blue panels. Let me interrupt for a PSA: The typical mini slimline is 3″ x 6″, however, I decided going forward that I’ll make mini slimlines 3-1/2″ x 6″ which will be the legal size for mailing. ;) I hand-drew the train track across the white panel with a black alcohol marker, added Train Mix Brads and Sun & Cloud Brads, and adhered the panels to the card base. The final touch was drawing a little ‘smoke’ coming from the locomotive with a light gray alcohol marker.
As mentioned above, I printed the front and inside sentiments on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and trimmed the panels down slightly smaller than the blue layering panels. I embellished the white sentiment panel with strips cut from CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock, CutCardStock Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock and CutCardStock Pop-Tone Lemon Drop cardstock, added an additional Train Mix Brad, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock.
And one more look… such a fun card! I absolutely love these little train brads!
