Papercrafting: Layered Disney Inspired Train

 


Walt Disney said that he wanted Disneyland to be a place for everyone, young, old, and in between. And one of the things we love is riding the Disney Railroad around the park. Since Mr.Chocolate likes trains period, I made him something special for a recent birthday that captures both! 

Supplies:
  • 8x8 Shadowbox Frame (Michaels)
  • Disney Themed Background Paper
  • Red, Yellow, Black Cardstock
  • Train Cut File (Silhouette Online Store)
  • Foam Tape and Foam Squares
  • Digital Cutting Machine (Cricut Explore Air 2)



He's got quite the Disney collection and this idea was inspired by a Funko Pop I got him for Christmas. Walt conducting his Railroad which he did occasionally do around the park.



I used one of my go to frames from my stash and then cut the background paper to size. 


I imported the SVG file from the Silhouette Online Store into Cricut Design Space , sized, and then duplicated the original and removed some of the cut out portions using the Contour feature in the software. I assembled the layers using foam tape and foam squares. 


I tacked the background paper to the back of the frame with double-sided tape then attached the train to it and assembled the frame.  



I also made him a coordinating card! 



He was very surprised and happy!
