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

Hello and welcome to my blog. I have been having SO much fun playing with the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. I have created many cards and copied many cards using it. Today is a "copy" day. I found this card on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. There were no instructions on how it was made so please read on to see how I put it together. 

The base of my card is a half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Real Red card stock for the top layer. I stamped the words from the "Greetings of the Season" bundle using black Memento ink.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the 6" x 6" "Iconic Celebrations" package. I cut it at 1-1/2" x 5-1/4". I taped it to the Real Red piece and then I taped that to the front of the card.

Next the circle was cut using a die from the "Spotlight on Nature" bundle. I taped it in place on the front of the card.

Then came the sled pieces. First I cut the skates using scraps of Basic White card stock. You could cut them when you do the circle but I didn't think of that at the time. Then I cut the sled runners and the skate laces from Real Red card stock. The greenery was cut from Garden Green card stock, you need two of those and the sled was cut using Pecan Pie card stock.  I also cut the blades of the skates using some silver foil card stock I had. I glued the laces to the skates and set them aside to dry.

I taped the bed of the sled to the runners. Then the greenery was added. I took some red and white Baker's Twine and tied a double bow and glued it to the center of the greenery. My twine was 12" long and I folded it in half before I tied the double bow. 

When added the skated I made sure I had the ends of the red and white bow under them to make it look like they were hanging up by it. 

And lastly I took a 6" piece of jute and tied a knot at each end. I trimmed the ends just a little so they looked even and I glued it to each side of the upper part of the sled bed. And the card was done.

This was such a fun card to make and I'd love to make more but I have so many other ones I want to try before that happens.

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