The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Misty Moonlight card stock. It was cut in half on the short side so once cut it measured 4-1/4" x 11". I scored it at 2-1/4" and 5-1/2". I folded the first scored area inward and the 5-1/2" one is the center of the card and I folded it inward too.
On the front flap I used a circle punch (a die will work too) and punched it so it would be easy to get the gift card or money out. I added glue to the sides of the scored piece and burnished them so the glue would take.
A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was taped to the inside.
I used a 3" x 4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Winter Meadow" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card.
Using the 3rd and 4th "Countryside Corners" die set I cut the large piece using Misty Moonlight card stock and using the 4th die I cut a piece of DSP. I taped the DSP to the card stock. I taped it in place on the front of the card. I tried to center it. I mark the back of the "Countryside Corners" piece so I know not to get tape beyond that point or the card will be taped shut. You don't want to do that! (I did it once - live and learn and remind everyone else not to do it!).
I cut the sled from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle using Pecan Pie card stock. The runners were cut from Basic Black card stock. I glued the sled to the runners. The greens were cut using a die from the same bundle on Old Olive and Mossy Meadow card stock. I set them aside.
The skates and laces were die cut from a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. The blades were cut from some silver foil card stock I had. I glued the blades to the skates and I set the skates together and added Dimensionals to the back.
I took a 3" piece of white Baker's Twine and affixed it to the top part of the sled using a glue dot. I trimmed the ends a bit and then set the skated on top of it. The Dimensionals will hold the twine in place. The greenery pieces were set in place using a little bit of Mono glue.
A double bow was tied using white Baker's Twine. It was set in place using a glue dot.
I colored a few pearls using my dark Cherry Cobbler Blends pen and set them in place on the greenery. The sled was then set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.
This was a fun card to make. I just love this sled bundle and I love making gift card holders.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas gift card holder,
Wanda
