and Cut....the Santa Express

I made this train template back in the summer for a card for my friend's little boy. Earlier this week I was thinking about it and thought about making it into a Christmas train. When I saw the DCM dare this morning I thought it was the perfect opportunity to use the template again as Tracie asked us to do some handcutting. This card took a fair bit of handcutting and it took ages to make! It was great fun though!

Here is the dare:

This week its Tracie setting the dare and it is to make a card and CUT!
Any theme goes, so for those of you needing a break from Christmas crafting this is the perfect opportunity to have a change. All styles are welcome but there MUST be an element of handcutting somewhere. It could be a greeting, a shape, letters printed on your pc and handcut, anything goes as long as you did it by hand.

Supplies: Cream, red and green cardstock, DCWV patterned paper for background, Doodlebug paper for presents, Doodlebug paper frill, Sizzix circle frame die, Santa express made on pc, Holly punch by Personal Impressions, Dovecraft brads, Papermania adhesive stones, other items from stash of unknown origin.
