Product Description:

The “Train Station Pop Up Tunnel Card Metal Craft Die” is the main die of the Train Station Tunnel Series. It is a very large die set, that you will receive on not just one, but two die sheets. The set includes everything you need to build a traditional tunnel (shadow box type) card with a really unique open brick design that emulates the look of an old brick wall as one might find in an old fashioned train station (think King Crossing Station in Harry Potter’s London). It is a super traditional tunnel front and the brick overlay will make for some very cool traditional and rustic tunnel designs. This design also includes the frontal view of an old school steam locomotive on a short amount of railroad track. It looks like the train is driving out of the brick station. Of course a clock is also included with this set to make sure the train is on time. This set further extends the use of our Polar Express card kit which also included various train images. Check out the various add-on sets that come with our train station tunnel, too. The Trainstation tunnel is a great starting point for old school, and traditional Christmas cards. You will enjoy to make these beautiful large tunnel cards that (when folded flat) will fit into a standard A7 (5x7 inch) envelope for easy mailing. Some of these dies may also further extend on last year’s trifold card collection by providing you with additional dies/side walls for your favorite trifold design.

We will be sharing technique tutorials and many beautiful interactive pop up cards, tunnel shadow box cards and other gorgeous 3D card design samples on our YouTube channel and our design team is also ready to create some fabulous tunnel pop ups, trifolds and other interactive cards this year- so please keep your eye open on our social media and on our “Scrappy Tails Crafters” Facebook fan page. 

Directions for metal craft die use:

1. Gently remove the metal craft die from it’s packaging
2. Using your favorite die-cutting machine, lay a piece of strong card-stock facing the sharp edges of the die and run the required “plate sandwich” through your machine (please note that different machines use different die-cutting sandwiches)
3. These dies are thin steel dies and they work in most available manual and automatic die cutting machines, such as your Vagabond, Cuttlebug, Gemini, Gemini junior, Spellbinder’s Platinum, Big Kick, Big Shot etc.
4. Dies work on different thin materials, including paper, cardstock, specialty foiled or glitter papers
5. Share your beautiful projects with us at #scrappytailscrafts
