Greetings of the Season, Sophisticated Sled, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a pretty card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest. It is originally the cover of a box so I had to improvise a very tiny bit. You can see that box here. Please read on to see how I made the card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Real Red card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4' x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White and taped it to the inside.

Then I cut a 3-1/4" x 4-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock for the layer on the front. On top of that is a 4-1/4" x 3" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Take a Bow" 6" x 6" stack. I taped it to the Basic White piece and then I taped that to the front of the card, I centered it as much as I could by eyeing it.

Next I cut the tag from the "Greetings of the Season" bundle using Basic White card stock.

The sled and all the other components to it were cut next. They are from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle.  The runners on the sled and the blades on the skates were cut using silver foil card stock.  The skates were cut using Basic White card stock. The laces were cut using a scrap of Real Red card stock. The bed of the sled was cut using Pecan Pie card stock. The greenery was cut using Old Olive and Garden Green card stock. 

The words are from the same "Sophisticated Sled" bundle and were stamped using Early Espresso in on a scrap piece of Crumb Cake card stock. Then they were cut using the small die from the "Greetings of the Season" bundle.

I glued the sled together. The greenery was added next. I cut the Old Olive one in half and glued the pieces separately.  The laces were glued into the slit on the skates and they were glued to the front of the sled.

I took a piece of ribbon (retired) and thread it through the large white tag and then through the word tag. A piece of the Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine was tied into a bow around the ribbon. I tied a knot first so it would stay and then I tied the bow. I added a little it of glue to the knot on the bow so it stayed in place. I used school glue for that because the Mono glue can be a bit sticky when it dries. (ever try to get that glue off your fingers?  UGH!!)  

Once the pieces were all in place I added tape to the back of the large white tag and set it in place on the front of the card and the card was done. 

This is such a pretty card and I love how it turned out. I also like the green one that was on the original post. I may have to give that one a try later in the week. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
