Santa's Sleigh card

There were so many wonderful stamps, dies and bundles in this years Holiday catalog it was very hard to know what to get first.   Since I'd decided that this was the year I was going to get some Fall/halloween sets, this one had to wait a bit, but it was very hard!

I've sized this card to fit in a #10 envelope. I happen to have some from a purchase I made after Christmas a few years ago and this set is just perfect for them.

I started with a base that is 9 1/4"x 8". Score so you have a card base of9 1/4"x4". This size will leave just a bit of room on the edges for the envelope.   I cut my top layer down 1/4" on two sides leaving a little red showing.

I then stamped and embossed my stars, and sponged on Night of Navy lightly. I tore 2 narrow pieces of white and layered across the bottom for snow. Then started adding my sleigh, raindeer and tree. The sleigh is Copper foil with red glimmer paper over top. Crumb cake was used for the raindeer, but CS and ink, then Always Artichoke for the tree, again both CS and ink.

I popped up my sleigh with Dimentials making sure there was room to place my packages.   Lead raindeer got a red nose and bow on his wreath.

I hope you enjoy. Thanks for coming by, happy stamping.

Stampin Up PAL's Paper Arts challenge #217

I can't seem to help myself. Now that I have so many Holiday sets I just have to use them, and this sketch just seemed ready made for this stamp set.

Woo Hoo, it's finally here! Today is the day you can start ordering from the new Holiday catalog! Do you have your copy? My customers have theirs, let me know if you'd like to have one.

Today I used Bright and Beautiful stamp set. It matches up with the star framelits and makes a very elegant Christmas card, but I don't believe it's just for Christmas.

I used Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and ink, Silver embossing powder with Versa Mark embossing ink.
You can also use the Silver Metallic Encore ink.
TIP: Remember when you use the metallic ink, it's pigment ink, meant for embossing, so if you are not embossing, give it a good long time to dry, or you can go over it with your heat gun to set it.

My sentiment is from Christmas Bliss, love that new set, lots of very neat sentiments. Now that I think about it, I could have embossed the sentiment also, but it's pretty either way. And I dearly love these skinny gold and silver ribbons, I hope they stick around for a good long time. I punched a hole in both sides of my oval and ran the ribbon through.
I used my tiny start punch to add the little star out of red glimmer.

I hope you enjoyed todays card, and if you are up for it, I do love to hear what you think. Keeping in mind that for some reason blogger doesn't give me a method of replying to your comment other then leaving my own comment, that is what I will do.
