The Weather's Going to be PERFECT for a Sleigh Ride

-
Tonight's card is a celebration of the snow that is set to hit southern Maine in another day or so. I've never been on a sleigh ride, but I bet it's magical. It's magical just looking at this scene, I think! I'm sad to say that the Horse & Sleigh bundle and the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP have both been retired from the Online Exclusives, but you can enjoy them in use here, and you can certainly use the layout to create other scenes of your choosing.




Element Measurements
  • Garden Green cardstock (4-1/4" x 11")
  • Pool Party cardstock (4-1/8" x 5-3/8", 1-7/16" x 5-3/8", 1-3/8" x 5-3/8")
  • Basic White cardstock (scrap for horse/sleigh)
  • One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (cabin sheet)

Directions
  1. Score Garden Green cardstock in half at 5-1/2". On this score line, cut down 2-3/4" (so only 1-1/2" is uncut). Turn and place Garden Green cardstock at the 2-3/4" mark and cut until you hit the score line. This should remove a section of the Garden Green base.
  2. Adhere large Pool Party panel to the inside of the card.
  3. Adhere the slightly larger Pool Party layer to the front of the flap so that the top is flush with the top of the Garden Green section.
  4. Adhere the remaining Pool Party layer to the inside (back of) front flap. 
  5. Cut the top off the DSP so that top is about 1" above the peak of the roof of the chalet. Trim off 1/2" from the left side of the DSP and 1/4" from the right side of the DSP, then cut the bottom of the DSP so that the chalet piece is 3" wide. 
  6. Trim the bottom off the bottom piece from the last step so that part that was connected to the chalet piece is 1-3/8" wide. (This means you should be trimming about 1/4" off the bottom, I think.)
  7. Adhere the chalet layer to the inside of the card, making the left, top and right borders equal.
  8. Adhere the 1-3/8" wide DSP piece to the front flap, aligning the top of the DSP to the top of the flap. (to create a continuous image).
  9. Stamp "Sending warmth" sentiment on the inside of the front flap using Garden Green ink.
  10. Stamp horse and sleigh in Memento Tuxedo Black and color with Stampin' Blends. Adhere the bottom portion of the image to the front flap.
  11. Add Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes as desired.

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...
