As you are ready to stamp using the Moving Along Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the mat to protect it from ink.
FOR THE TRAIN YOU'RE THE BEST CARD:
Mount the railroad track image from the Moving Along Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Memento or Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so it goes off the left edge of the vertical cardstock about 1-1/2" from the bottom at a slight upward angle. Re-ink the image with the same ink and stamp it again in the center of the white rectangle at the same angle so it connects with the previously stamped image. Re-ink the image again with the same ink and stamp it again on the right side of the white rectangle at the same angle so it connects with the previously stamped center image and goes off the right edge.
Tip: If needed, use the fine tip of the Basic Black Marker to connect the lines.
Mount the outline train engine image from the Moving Along Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Memento or Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it near the center of the track stamped on the white rectangle so the wheels are just touching the top line of the track.
Mount the solid train engine image from the Moving Along Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the previously stamped outline train engine image.
Mount the smoke image from the Moving Along Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Memento or Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it so it appears to be coming out of the smoke stack of the previously stamped train image. Stamp the smoke image again WITHOUT RE-INKING so it overlaps the previously stamped smoke image a bit and is a bit higher.
Mount the "You're the best" sentiment from the Moving Along Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Shaded Spruce Ink Pad. Stamp it just above the smoke coming out of the train on the left side.
