Heart of Christmas - Santa's Train
October 03, 2022
This week for the Heart of Christmas blog hop, I am revisiting the Santa's Delivery bundle.
Last time I made a slimline (DL) size card with the train engine and two carriages on the front. Ever since I got the bundle, I have been wanting to make a 3D train.
So this week was my chance. I added little open boxes to each piece that would easily hold 2-3 chocolates for a Christmas table centrepiece.
I used the Stamparatus and a silicon craft mat to reverse stamp the carriages and engine, so that I had both images facing in both directions. Then they could be mounted on either side of the very simple open boxes I made to support them.
The open boxes are 5cm long x 3cm wide and 4cm high.
I have deliberately left them unattached so they can be re-arranged, and they could even be used as little party favours or place cards. I think I would like to make a really long train with a dozen or so carriages, but that might be for another day!
I hope you like my little project and it gives you some ideas as we get closer to the Christmas season - ideas for Christmas decorating or gift giving.
Now it's time to go see what the other Art With Heart team stampers have created this week for our blog hop.

Aww! What a super cute, delightful table decoration this would be on Christmas Day. The effort taken to reverse the images is totally worth it.

Wow Kathryn, what a creative, cute and fun table decoration. I love it. I can imagine a long train with many carriages gracing your table a Christmas full of chocolates or other delectable delights. Love your colouring too. Xxx

Kathryn your glorious 3d train will make the most wonderful centre piece on a Christmas table. I can appreciate all the time and effort you have put into your creation. Reversing the images and then colouring them all so expertly. Fabulous job. If you ever do get around to making your longer train, please share photos of it.
