Introducing Train Tracks & Alpha-blocks

April 12, 2011      Nichole Heady      773 Comments

This release is chock full of amazing sets that feature a wide array of styles and looks.  There is literally something for everyone!  I have two sets to introduce to you today that offer lots of possibilities!

Alpha-blocks-die
First, a new alphabet set that offers SO many possibilities, you will be amazed at all the options!  Alpha-blocks is a set that is truly a must-have for any stamper or scrapper. The solid reverse blocks can make such a statement on a project. Just big enough for scrap layouts, but small enough to be the perfect scale for cards as well.  With the coordinating die you can create your own "letter stickers" with our label paper or chipboard letter tiles with our coasters.   You will love all the possibilities this set entails!

The details.

  • Alpha-blocks will be available for sale on April 15th.
  • It will retail for $24.
  • Alpha-blocks contains a total of 36 stamps (letters A-Z and numbers 0-9).
  • Each letter block measures 1" x 13/16".
  • A coordinating die that will cut 6 letter tiles at a time will be available for sale separately for $6. 
  • The letter blocks in this set coordinate perfectly with our Postage die as well.

Train-Tracks-die
The second set I have to show you today is Train Tracks by Beth Silaika.  This adorable train set is perfect for SO many applications!  With individual cars, you can customize the length of the train and what it pulls.  There are even a variety of items that you can add to the empty flatbed car, like crates, logs, gifts and more!  Numbers and phrases can be used to customize the train cars for the recipient's age and occasion.  Too cute!

The details.

  • Train Tracks will be available for sale on April 15th.
  • It will retail for $15.
  • Train Tracks includes a total of 29 stamps (1 engine, 1 flatbed car, 1 caboose, 1 crate flatbed filler, 1 log stack flatbed filler, 1 gift-stck flatbed filler, 1 smoke puff trail, numbers 0-9, exclamation point, "No." stamp and 10 sentiments.
  • The train engine measures 2-1/2" by 1-1/2" inches, the flatbed car is 1-3/4 by 1/2 inches and the caboose measures 1" by 1-1/2" inches.  The three train cars will line up neatly on a A2 card front.
  • A coordinating die that will cut-out the three different train cars will be available for sale separately for $7.  

Fly-Away-die

I have one additional product to share with you today that I just know many of you will be excited about! The previously released set, Fly Away, now has a coordinating die! This die will cut shapes to coordinate with both airplanes and the banner from the set.  You will just love how many easy options are open to you with this tool!

The details.

  • The Fly Away die will be available for sale on April 15th.
  • It will retail for $7.
  • The Fly Away die will cut shapes to coordinate with both airplanes and the banner from the previously released Fly Away stamp set.

Now, let's get onto some fun projects!

Wish Card
My first project today showcases Alpha-blocks.  I love the ability to create a multi-colored word to add pop to my cards.  I started by stamping Fancy Flourishes on the Kraft card cover with Dark Chocolate ink.

Die
I die-cut white cardstock with the new Alpha-blocks die, creating a total of six letter tiles with one pass.  I stamped four of the tiles with letters using the Alpha-blocks stamp set.  "W" with Spring Rain, "i" with Ripe Avocado, "s" with Squa Mist and "h" with Spring Moss.

Letters closeup
I stitched the letters onto my project using a sewing machine.  I then used a 2-way glue pen to adhere glitter just to the letter openings of each block.

Star closeup
I die-cut the smallest Seeing Stars die from white cardstock and covered it with adhesive, adding more glitter.  The star was adhered in place with a foam dimensional.

Down
The sentiment (from Big Birthday Sentiments) under the the letter blocks was stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with White Filigree Embossing Powder.

Fly Away Card
Now a little something with Fly Away!

Fly away die
I die-cut the plane from white cardstock and stamped the coordinating image in Orange Zest.  The banner image was stamped in black, with the sentiment added in Simply Chartreuse.

Stamping circles
For the background, I stamped the circle pattern from Polka Dot Basics in True Black.

Stamping colored dots
I then used the new set Boy Basics: Simple Circles (details about that tomorrow) to add colored dots to the circles.  I used Orange Zest, Simply Chartreuse, Summer Sunrise & Aqua Mist.

Number strip stamps
For the border, I adhered several number images from Alpha-blocks to a single block and stamped them in VersaMark onto Aqua Mist cardstock.

Airplane closeup
The airplane & banner were both adhered on top of everything with foam dimensionals.

Down
I love the color scheme of this project and know just about any boy would be happy to receive it!

Birthday Train Card
Now to put Train Tracks to good use!

Train die & copics
I die-cut the train cars from white cardstock and stamped them with the coordinating images using Black Noir Palette ink.  I then colored the images in with Copic Markers.

Engine closeup
I customized the engine with stamps representing the recipients age…I love little details like this!  The smoke puffs were stamped in black and then I added dabs of Fresh Snow ink with a q-tip.

10 blocks closeup
Two Alpha-blocks fit perfectly on the flatbed car, as you can see here.  I stamped "10" with Alpha-blocks onto Pure Poppy cardstock, heat embossing them with Clear Filigree Embossing Powder.

Sentiment closeup
The sentiment (from Birthday Bash Sentiments) was stamped in black, then I drew two lines along the top portion of the sentiment using a black pen and ruler.  The dots below the lines were added with the dots block from Grunge Me.

Down
I love all of the customization options with this train and I know you will too!

Think You Can Card
This train project was inspired by blueprints.  I stamped the engine & caboose train cars all over the Blueberry Sky cardstock using Fresh Snow ink.  I then stamped the entire piece with Text Style using VersaMark ink.  

Sentiment closeup
I stamped the school-ruled lines from Way to Go, Kiddo with Spring Rain ink onto a circle of white cardstock cut out with the Limitless Layers 1.75" Circle die.  I then added the "I Think You Can" with Pure Poppy ink, using the lines as a guide.  The "Keep up the Terrific Work" sentiment, from Way to Go Kiddo as well, was added with Smokey Shadow ink.  

Down
The card needed one more pop of red for balance, so I added this red polka-dot clip to the edge of the card.

Sweet Girl Layout
With so many "boy" project today, I thought I would do something girly and pink for my last project.  It all started with this beautiful photo of Hannah taken last summer.  I began the layout with a sheet of Sweet Blush cardstock that I stamped with Year of Flowers: Marigolds in Hibiscus Burst ink.

Focal closeup
The focal point under the photo is made up of several elements.

Title closeup
 I used the Alpha-blocks die to die-cut Hibiscus Burst cardstock into tiles.  The letters were stamped with Fresh Snow ink.  The word "sweet" was added from our Top Ten stamp set.  Along the edge of the tile strip, I added a piece of Simply Chartreuse felt trimmed with pinking shears, a heart die-cut from Aqua Mist cardstock stamped with Bitty Background Blocks in Hawaiian Shores and a Simply Chartreuse button affixed with a rhinestone.  All of which is stitched in place with a sewing machine.

Bloom quote closeup
This block started with a scrap of white cardstock, stamped with Embellishments using Raspberry Fizz ink.  This sentiment from Tag-its #3 was stamped on Simply Chartreuse cardstock and punched out with a 1-1/4" circle punch.  The butterfly was punched from cardstock stamped with the floral image from Bitty Background Blocks using Simply Chartreuse ink.  A glasshead pin was added as a finishing touch.

Date label closeup
I created a custom pattern block with Background Basics: Chevron Stripes using Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, Orange Zest & Simply Chartreuse inks.  I die-cut Aqua Mist cardstock with an Angled Labels die and stamped it with the coordinating  Label Basics frame using Hawaiian Shores ink.  The date was added with Mini Scrapbook Series: Library Ledger.  The flower was created with Raspberry Fizz felt die cut with Flower Fusion #3.  An Orange Zest button stitched in place with green floss finishes it off.

Down
Now that you've seen a few of my creations, the team has a few more things to share with you using the new Alpha-blocks set!  I asked each of them to use this new alphabet set in a unique creative way…just wait until you see some of the things they cam up with!

One set I must have is the new alphabet set and new die of course. The other one that must go in my cart is the Background Basics, Chevron Stripes. I can’t wait for the 14th!!!

Today is that day for this month’s release. Everything you’ve shown today is going onto to my wish list (if it doesn’t make it right into my cart.) I love the size and the design of the alpha-blocks as well as the coordinating die to cut the tiles. The train set is absolutely adorable. My boys are all grown up – no grandkids yet – but I still want this set. Thanks too for the coordinating die for the Fly Away set. Just a perfect release day with great projects all around.

    When I was a kid I was obsessed with “choo-choo’s”…. getting a card with that adorable Train Set would have died with happiness !! And my nephew has inherited my same love for trains so I will have to buy this set especially for him! Your scrapbook page of Hannah is adorable… she’s a beauty!

I make cards for OWH and these would be perfect for soldiers to send home to their sons. I think they will really love them!

    I’m in love!!!!! Oh the things I could do with this!!! And my son is now obsessed with me getting the train die!! LOL! I really love the versatility of these dies and how you have the perfect coordinating stamps for them. That is wonderful…of course my wallet doesn’t appreciate that fact–cause who can get the stamps without the die?? <3

    WOW! I love, love, love both sets! I work in a preschool class with 3-5 year olds and I enjoy making little games/puzzles to help them learn numbers and the alphabet. I not only want to make letter stickers, but also a magnetic train set carrying the alphabet and numbers. The kids will LOVE IT! This was an awesome group post! Thank you:)

    Alpha Blocks looks like so much fun, and the coordinating die – a must! The die alone could be used for so many things and the fact it coordinates with the Postage die – a bonus! I love the way PTI coordinates stamps and dies and especially when they work with other sets too. Love the new Fly Away die too. It is awesome that PTI is bringing out dies that coordinate with older stamps too! Thanks PTI!

Now, WooHoo for the Fly Away die!!! SO excited!!! I always love a good alpha set and so far I can see LOTS of possibilities with Alpha-blocks. I can already tell that a mini sized Alpha-blocks set would be great too. If my guys weren’t too old for Train Tracks, it would definitely be in my cart. All three of the train cars are adorable and I love the different fillers for the flatbed car. Very cute!

    Love them all, but the train set (and die)
    is my favorite. I have two little grandsons
    that just adore trains. This set is just
    perfect.

    Another great day of sneaks. Love the Train Tracks set and dies…I only wish I had that back in December for my nephews birthday…he loves all things trains, and we gave him a train set that was my husbands when he was a little boy. He will love receiving cards with trains on them for his birthday…or just because.

    I absolutely love the addition of the train set to the Papertrey product list!!!!!! Trains have always been a huge part of my life and continue to be a loving reminder of my grandpa. He was a conductor and then local yard agent before retiring. As soon as I saw the train images my mind went to work remembering all the special moments and how I could translate those into cards and scrapbook layouts!
