Hello all! I decided to get a VERY early start on the swaps for my Stampin’ Up! team meeting on October 17th, seeing as everyone keeps telling me how busy I will be when my baby arrives. 🙂 The theme for the swap is Christmas/Fall. Since I just love these Sleigh Ride Thinlits, I decided to go with a Christmas card. Â
I CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) this card from one I saw on Pinterest, but I did change it up. The original card used Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack. I haven’t purchased that yet, so I made my own snowy layer with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, Versamark Ink, and the Heat Tool. Here is the link to the card I CASEd.
The dimensions for this card are: Card base= 4 1/4″ x 11″ (scored at 5 1/2″), Embossed layer= 2″ x 5 1/2″, Gold Foil strips= 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. I turned the embossed layer upside down, adhered Snail Adhesive along the very edge of the cardstock, and laid half of the gold foil strip on the cardstock by lining up the outer edge of the foil strip 1/8″ from the edge of the embossed layer.
I thought you might enjoy a closer look at the sleigh on the snowy background. I really enjoy the simple elegance that the gold and white give to this card. I hope the recipient of this card enjoys receiving it as much a I enjoyed making it.
Joyful stamping!
