A Christmas Carol 3D Christmas Card

**airdave** · #1 01-08-2022, 12:40 PM

Some friends in England sent a very unique Christmas Card.
Having searched the net, I found its by a company called Paper D'Art.
They have many 3D laser cut cards like this.
Theres a really awesome Double Decker Bus card model.
Various places sell them.

This Dicken's Christmas Carol card comes folded flat, unfolds into a 3D Coach with figures and Christmas items.
There appears to be as many as 15 cut, folded and pre-assembled parts.
The card layers are printed on both sides and very intricately cut.
There are cut holes in some of the parts, so small, they are microscopic!

The Victorian style Coach has open doors with Christmas Presents on top and inside.
Up front theres a driver and brakeman who appear to be Bob Cratchett and Jacob Marley.
On the right side of the Coach are at least five Christmas Ghosts.
I think one or two are supposed to Ebenezer at different times.

On the left side is a tall Christmas Tree and happy Ebenezer Scrooge with Tiny Tim on his shoulder.

And of course, inside the coach is Father Christmas with his arm waving out the coach window.
The wheels rotate on axles, and there are three dimensional leaf Springs behind the wheels.

The entire model is 13cm long, 14cm tall and about 13cm wide.

Magnificent! A great find. I was able to find a few sources on the Internet. Wonderful cars at reasonable prices (given the intricacy of the cards)>

Thanks, Dave

Re: My post #2, "Wonderful cards" [vice "cars"], although at least one of them is an automobile covered with flowers.

lol I got your point. Its the internet. Our minds fix things.
But its good to clarify.

Did you mean "doh" ? lol

Its amazing how people have adjusted to understanding badly typed or misspelled internet posts. lol

The same goes for text messages...I am always apologizing to my kid for typing too fast and my messages are full of word and spelling errors.
And yet, she understands everything I meant to say the first time (and lets me know when I correct myself).
