Sophisticated Sled, Iconic Celebrations, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest but I did make some changes. You can see the original card here. Please read on to see how I made it.

The base of the card is a folded 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 Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Iconic Celebrations" 6" x 6" stack. I taped it to the front of the card.

A 5-1/4" x 3"piece of Basic White card stock was cut and then textured using the "So Swirly" embossing folder. I glued the piece on top of the DSP, centering it as much as I could by eyeing it.

Next I cut the sleigh pieces from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. The body of the sleigh was cut from Misty Moonlight card stock. The runners were cut from some silver foil card stock. I also cut the skate blades from the silver card stock. And the laces on the skates were cut from a scrap of Misty Moonlight card stock. Though after seeing it all put together I think Boho Blue would have been a better choice for the laces.

The skates were cut using a scrap of Basic White card stock. I glued on the laces and blades. I glued the two skates together. Dimensionals were added to the back and they were set aside.

The "greenery" at the top was cut using Boho Blue card stock. I glued them in place on the top part of the sled.

I tied a silver bow and set it aside. I took a 3" piece of the silver cord and using a glue dot I set it in place in the center of the Boho Blue "greenery". I glued the ends down onto the bed of the sled so they would end up close to behind the skates as possible. I could have glued the ends to the back of the skates and then stuck the top part on the glue dot but I didn't think of that until just now. 

Then the skates were set in place. I glued the silver bow in place. The sled was then glued in place on top of the textured Basic White piece.

The words came next, they are from the same "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. I stamped them using Misty Moonlight ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the die from the "Perennial Postage" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the lower part of the card.

A few crystal rhinestones were added to the front of the card and the card was done.

I just LOVE this bundle and I think I'm going to keep it forever!  That's a long time! LOL

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