I am WAY too excited to share this with you all! I’m totally looking like a crazy baboon jumping around right now from excitement.. sans the funky red bottoms they have. (What’s up with that anyways?)
OK. I lie. I am just sitting here sipping on coffee and itching to run off and play with some new Doodlebug goodies I just got delivered!
So.. let’s get rolling with this blog post, shall we?
I created this super, SUPER cute ‘vintage’ birthday toy train for SVG Cuts! This thing seriously has to be one of my top 10 favorite projects… and from the looks of it on SVG Cuts Facebook page, you all love it too! Cheers to that! *holds coffee up* *cling* (not too hard though, don’t wanna spill even a drip of this precious Starbucks white mocha!). So, for those that are not on Facebook, or may have missed it.. here it is!
TA-DA!!!
All together now…. “Awwwwww!”
This giraffe is just so cute! Mary from SVG Cuts makes the cutest little cutting files! I actually requested the ‘jungle’ themed Wild Child collection awhile back.. I started something with them and just wasn’t feeling it. I am glad I was finally able to use them in a project!
Everything is connected with a mustard yellow jute cord and buttons.
I love these little star balloons! You can have one if you’d like!
This lion is just hanging out on the back! Probably hoping there’s a fat juicy steak in the gift box!
Funny thing about this lion, he only has one eye.
I know what you’re saying… “No… I see TWO!”.. Crazy Tamara!
SEE! lol! I only had 3 dark brown buttons so either the giraffe or lion had to go without one.
I’m sorry Mr. Lion. Doesn’t mean I love you any less! I knew with that gorgeous flowing mane that you’d be able to pull off the one-eyed look!
Thankfully my Photoshop skills kicked in and I just Photoshopped another right on!
I’ve got skills, peeps! Least I know if I ever lose an eye I can just clone one back on in Photoshop… Wish this worked in real life, lol!
So what do you think? This was quite easy to make and if you’d like to make one you’ll need the following SVG Cuts kits/collections
- A Day at the Carnival SVG Collection
- Birthday Elements SVG Collection
- Bundle of Joy SVG Kit
- Charlotte’s Favor Boxes SVG Kit
- Rosie’s Ribbons SVG Collection
- Wild Child SVG Collection
All the cutting sizes and instructions can be found HERE The GORGEOUS paper collection is from October Afternoon ‘Cakewalk’. ADORBS!
That’s it! How perfect would this be for a centerpiece? And it’s a useful centerpiece.. you can put little candies, vodka soaked gummy bears, or Jello shots in the train cars.

This has to be one of my favorite projects from you. Turned out awesome!! Tiny cheers!
I can’t tell you how much I LOVE this!! You did an amazing job!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
This is adorable Tamara!! Now what could I do if I need #3 train??
One of the cutest projects you have ever done! I can’t stop smiling when I see it! Thanks!
This is so dang cute! Will be trying it out! thanks for sharing
You are hilarious. first of all, it IS adorable. Second of all, you photoshopped an eye in? amazing. Now I think I need photoshop. haha.
You really need to give that poor lion a artificial eye even if it doesn’t totally match. Don’t you know that lions are vain animals. Cute project I love everything about it. One question though. Where do I find the vodka soaked gummy bears or do I have to make my own with some of the Vodka I bought for crafting purposes.
Super cute! I’m on Facebook but was feverishly trying to finish up challenge entries the last two days! Now I can breath a little, clean my house a lot and oohh and ahh over your fantastic creations! I absolutely love the papers! I’m hoping it’s still available – my biggest pet peeve about the papercrafting world is that only a couple of companies keep their paper lines going and everyone else makes you scramble for those last beloved bits…Hmm! Paper rant? I’m supposed to be giving you love. Sorry! I love your train! You always do an amazing job mixing collections and creating more fabulous projects! TFS!
Amazing, adorable project! I popped over to your blog yesterday from a Doodlebug post and came across this post in the process–So glad I did. I am a proud new follower.
That’s one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen !
I love this project! It is definitely one of my top 10 projects from you. The colors and embellishments that you added are fabulous, and just love the fact that you photoshopped in the button! I need to learn how to do that… although I can never tell that to my husband – when he knows that’s possible, he’ll never allow me to buy buttons again!
Omg, this is just darling. Love it!
