Valentine Love Train

Hi there! I bought this awesome Love Express tutorial from SU demo Gretchen Barron last week and I could not wait to try it! With this tutorial, I did not have to reinvent the wheel! So much easier! Also, Gretchen's tutorial provided alternatives in case you do not have the box and milk carton dies. Lucky for me, I have the milk carton die. And I must say, my train came out absolutely splendid! It was so much fun making it! My two younger children were so astounded to see the final product - their eyes popped out to see a cardstock train! And each child wanted his or her own train with their preferred colors! Hahaha.

I changed a few things though. I used my new Scallop Trim Edge punch, instead of the Heart Trim punch because that is what I have. I also punched out the eyes instead of using the epoxy brads. Lastly I used a big silver binder clip and attached sheer ribbons on the clip handles. I might add my daughter's name using SU's alphabet dies. :) My finished train is approximately 22 inches long..... Can't wait to fill this train up with goodies!
