Christmas Sleigh Decor

-

 It's been a great Christmas in July week and tonight's project was one I've been planning for a couple months! Last spring, I created a home decor element with a beach theme, so I knew I wanted to create something that could get me through the other six months of the Maine year (nine months?). I created one off camera (the one immediately below, and then I let those watching along with me give input to create the one you see directly below that (red). Because this was a Christmas in July video, I'm going to give the directions for the red version.


The frame is a 8" x 8" frame I got on Amazon. The finished size is 9" x 9".

 



Paper Supplies 
  • Real Red cardstock (8" x 8")
  • Basic White cardstock (6-1/2" x 6-1/2", scraps)
  • One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (full sheet)

Directions

  1. Stamp the horse/sleigh image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a large Basic White scrap. Color with assorted Blends and die cut.
  2. Die cut several of the snow mound die images from Basic White scraps.
  3. Die cut the large banner from the Stylish Shapes dies.
  4. Adhere one layer of snow mounds to DSP. Adhere a second set below and overlapping the other mounds using Dimensionals.
  5. Apply Dimensionals to the horse/sleigh die cut and add to DSP. I positioned it so that the sleigh and horse feet fell between the two layers of snow.
  6. Adhere DSP panel to Basic White square, then to Real Red square.
  7. Stamp sentiment in Real Red ink on the large banner die cut. Adhere to project with Dimensioals. 
  8. Add snowflakes as desired.
  9. Insert into frame.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
