I saved the best one for last in this series...my punched train. In my opinion, this is the punched card of all punched cards. I'm biased, but I think it's adorable!
I started with a Whisper White cardstock base and layered Bashful Blue on top for the background. To make the train tracks, I used a piece of Basic Black and spiral punched down both sides.
For the engine, I used a keytag punch on Basic Black. For the window, I used a 3/4" square punch and layered a 1/4" square punch of Bashful Blue on top. For the top of the smokestack, I used the top of a large tag punch.
For my box cars, I used a 1 1/4" square as the base in Only Orange or Real Red. I layered a 3/4" square (in alternating color) and then a 1/2" circle on top of that. The Whisper White "cargo" in each car is the end of the tab punch.
I joined all the cars together with a little piece of Basic Black. The wheels are made from 1/2" circles in silver.

Oh girl, I love it! I know a little boy who would flip over this card, I may have to make one. Thanks for your creative idea!
Thanks Celeste! I saw one like it on Splitcoaststampers.com and had to try it myself!
