Trainspotter 2 -peep Inside
***Apologies to the crafters who bought this kit before the 14th September 2015 - there was an error in the sizes as I had originally made a larger version. Huge thanks to you all for your patience in me uploading the revised file as I was in the UK attending two funerals. Special note to Liz - aka Shelagh E Osborn Wright for finding a solution as this card was meant to be very special just for her husband and she made a terrific card so many thanks Liz.
These train kits were requested by a card maker and family and they make up beautifully.
This is an older style carriage and you can lift the front carriage up to see the dining area inside. The cuts are easy as I have left backing in any awkward places (the tiny windows) if printed as is it fits into a normal DL envelope.
There are 3 sheets, the first shows the inside of the carriage plus a little decoupage, this is what you attach to your main card, the 2nd shows the outer carriage which you attach to the top of the main image, plus there are various tags including a blank and finally a matching blank insert.

I printed the carriage pages onto 200gsm glossy photo paper and insert onto 160gsm paper. I found a difference in the 2 carriage dimensions and solved it by printing the outer carriage a size smaller,which worked for me. I made it up by attaching the base image to a large DL cardblank with DST and cut round to fit. I scored the outer carriage as shown and added along the roof using DST. I added the other decoupage with 2mm foam. I have distressed the edges of
japanese panels with gold ink before layering. I added my choice of sentiment with 2mm foam and highlighted with gold 65 numbers each side. I attached initials to the central carriage side and shiny dots. I embellished the other carriage side panels with a tiny decorative gold rose. I added diminute amber gems to the table lamps in the dining carriage and attached the pretty insert with narrow DST. This is an unusual and beautiful design( yet is not complicated to cut out or make up) for someone who is fanatical about trains! I think the finished card is most original! Thank you so much, Lorraine!
