A pop-up Christmas card that opens into a locomotive and its carriages. A train is the longest thing we build in paper, and a card has to work hard to hold one.

Length Inside a Small Format

A tree rises, a reindeer stands, and a train runs across. That is the problem the design has to solve: a locomotive and its carriages are a horizontal subject, and a card is not very wide. The fold works by letting the train come forward as well as across, so the engine sits nearer the reader than the last carriage does.

Christmas trains belong to a particular tradition, the model railway around the base of the tree, and that association does the work here. It is sent to households that already decorate that way, and to people who like trains in general, which is a surprisingly reliable category.

What Opens

More carriages mean more cut paper and more layers, which is why this is one of the fuller constructions in the Christmas set. Everything folds flat again afterwards, so the card posts in an ordinary envelope and stores in a box with the decorations until next year.

Blank Inside

None of it is personalised, so no proof is produced and nothing waits on approval. It arrives blank inside and you write the message, which is the usual arrangement for a Christmas card and the reason these can be ordered late without any back and forth. Cut paper rather than printing also means the colour does not fade the way ink on a shelf does, which matters on a card that is going to be stood on a mantel for several weeks rather than read once.

A Card That Comes Back Out

Pop-up Christmas cards tend not to be thrown away in January. They fold flat, go into the box with the decorations, and come out again the following year as an ornament in their own right, which is the quiet argument for cut paper over a printed card at this time of year. The tree, reindeer, sleigh and penguin cards are made the same way, so a household can accumulate a set of them over a few Decembers. It is also the card most often sent to children, who find a train more interesting than a tree and will usually open and close it a dozen times before it reaches a shelf.

3D Christmas Train Card FAQs

All our crystal items come in a custom black gift box with internal padding, which protects your crystal during shipment, and offers a great way to store your crystal securely when not on display.

Ordering a custom crystal online at ArtPix 3D is easy! You’ll start by selecting a crystal product from our shop. Next, you’ll upload your photo and adjust its position on a template of your crystal shape. Once you’re happy with your preview, you can customize your crystal by choosing your size and writing a note or caption to be engraved below your image. You can also select various add-ons to be included with your order, such as light bases, greeting cards, and a cleaning kit.

When you’re finished, double-check to make sure you’re satisfied with the customization options you selected. Next, check the box that reads “The personalization I entered is correct,” and select Add to Cart.

You’ll have another opportunity to confirm your personalization in your cart. Check your order summary to verify that the size, shape, and orientation (if applicable) of your crystals are correct. You should also proofread any text and make sure your selected add-ons are all present and accounted for. If you enabled ArtPix HD for your photo, your summary should confirm it.

Next, enter your payment and shipping details. If you have a discount code, you can apply it at this stage under Apply Coupon. You can also provide any custom instructions under Order Notes. Finally, select Place Order to finalize your purchase.
