Sleigh Ride

Santa’s Sleigh

I love this sleigh! It’s fabulous in red but I can’t wait to try it in different colors. Here are the basic instructions and the supply list is below. I am a keeper of bits and pieces of left over cardstock and I have a set of drawers next to my cutting station. Check out the video at the bottom of this post.

Cut vellum to 4 x 5-1/4″, run through the big shot with the Woodland Embossing Folder.
Die cut the overlay piece of the sleigh, the bow and the star out of Red Glimmer Paper. Use the Percision Plate and run through the Big Shot a few times.
Die cut the other piece of the sleigh out of Real Red Cardstock.
Die cut the top third part of the tree out of Whisper White Cardstock.
Die cut the reindeer out of Basic Black Cardstock.
Using the Fine-tip Glue Pen, dot the back of the vellum in inconspicuous places and adhere to the front of the Basic Grey Card. Place under a large block to adhere properly.
Using the Fine-tip Glue Pen, dot the back of the Red Glimmer sleigh overlay and adhere to the sleigh bottom. Place under a large block to adhere properly.
Snip a rectangle out of Silver Glimmer Paper, add a red or black die cut bow to the rectangle…it’s a present!
Adhere the tree and the present to the back of the sleigh, I used the Fine-tip Glue Pen.
Adhere the star to the top of the tree with a Glue Dot.
Snip a piece of Candy Cane Baker’s Twine and make a harness for the reindeer, take the long piece, make a knot and attach to the sleigh. Snip off the excess.

Adhere the bow to the reindeer with a Glue Dot.
Stamp the sentiment Merry Christmas Wishes on a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock.
Use the Banner Triple Punch to dove tail the ends OR use Paper Snips.

Add a few Metallis Sequin Assortment pieces to the card by putting a dot of Fine-Tip Glue on the card and popping a sequin or star over the dot.
INSIDE: Stamp the sentiment using Real Red, Memento Black or Archival Basic Black…your choice.
