Customizing a Cut File with Printable Cuttable Creatables

         Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new project share for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

 One of the great benefits of using cut files
is how you can totally customize them to suit your own needs.
As I was snooping through the shop, I came across this wonderful train file.
Christmas trains are very nostalgic for me.
They bring up very special memories of past Christmases,
with my parents and three brothers.
I immediately thought it would make a great slimline card.

For my project today, I have used the Vintage Christmas SVG Bundle.
You can also find the train on it's own in the Christmas Train SVG File.

Here's my card:

Isn't that a great Christmas card?
It was so much fun to put together.

Sometimes when I see these cut files, I feel a little bit daunted because of all the pieces.
Print then Cut is always an option.
However, once you break things down, it's not really daunting at all.

Since this was a nostalgic project for me, I really wanted to use traditional Christmas colours.
This is where the customization began. 
I used Cricut Design Space for all my work.

Here is how the original file uploaded:

Here is how I customized it to my traditional colours:

Here are all the pieces after they were cut out:

Yes, there are lots of pieces but with the included instructions, and a bottle of glue,
it's easy peasy to put it all together! 

Once it was all adhered in place, it was easy to add to my glittery slimline card base.
Then I had an opportunity for further customization, with some fun embellishing!

Here on the engine, I added Stickles to the window, the bow ribbon, and the engine light.
I also added small red rhinestones to the wreath.

I also added Stickles to the star on top of the tree, and larger rhinestones to the tree.

This is a very special card to me now!
When you look at cut files, don't just look at what is there.
Look at how you can customize them to be what you need!
