Santa's Sleigh Card with Stampin Up

Santa's Sleigh Card By Stampin Up
 
Christmas is just around the corner and I am in the mood to made some Christmas Cards. The one I would like to share with you this month is Santa's Sleigh with his reindeer. You have seen me do this card fold before, but so many have asked to see it in other seasons. 

Supplies: 

Santa's Sleigh Stamp set (142057)  or  Bundle  (143499) Save 10%       
Santa's Sleigh Thinlits Dies  (140278)
Very Vanilla card stock  4 1/4 x 11, 3 3/4 x 5,  2 pieces  2 1/2 x 5, 2 x 11
Gold Foil card stock  4 x 5 1/4, 2 pieces of 2 3/4 x 5 1/2, 2 1/2 x 4, 2 1/4 x 11
Soft Suede to cut 6 reindeer 
Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine (141983)
Markers to color the presents and trees. 

Instructions:

To make this card stand out, start by scoring your base card at 5 1/2, and 2 3/4. Then score both the gold foil and very vanilla strip.  Be sure to stamp and cut out 6  reindeer. 

Stamp and color 3 trees. Oh and 1 star

Die Cut both sections of the sleigh.  Add your Christmas packages. 

Now when you are ready to assemble; Fold your base card in half the fold the top half back on itself. Do the same to your strip. Only when you are ready to put the strip on the card place the 5 1/2 strip on the 2 3/4 part of the base card. In short, the strip is opposite the base card. 

You are going to love making this card. When mailing it is going to require extra postage, because it is a little bulky.

Shadow Box Frame.

Shadow Box Frame

The Shadow Box Frame is easy, fun and can be use in is so many ways.

Supplies:

1 - 12 x 12 Card stock (or you can use
            thick paper stock.)
1 - 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 heavy cards stock (great               
            place to use the cardboard that
            comes in the back of your DSP.)

1 - 7 1/4 x 7 1/4  Paper or Cards stock

1 - 7 x 7 Paper or cards stock


1-  6 3/4 x 6 3/4 cards stock.

Plus you will need your inside embellishments. Skies the limit.

First score your 12 x 12 card stock or thick paper at 1/2, 1 1/8, 2 3/8 and 3 on all 4 sides. Now with a pencil mark off blocks the 4 corners. In the example below you will cut off the "x" and the "T" will be a tag. Repeat in all 4 corners.

 _____________
XX            XX 
XT            TX


XT            TX
XX______XX

Next, make an "X" in the middle of your paper crossing over the first score line closes to the center. Using you straight edge, create a box around the center "X", large about 3 1/2 inches. Now cut on each line. When you are finished you will have 4  triangles, (do not discard). Fold on each of the score lines using your bone folder.

Fold your tag in and adhere to form all 4 corners.

Measure your 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 to be sure it is not too big. IF it is a tiny bit small that is okay, but if it is too big you need to trim it down now. Adhere the backing to the bottom, being sure the 1/2 inch scored section is folded to the inside.

Now let's work on the top side. Fold and adhere the inside pieces down. Be sure the inside edges are square. You can do this with any straight edge, just stand it up to be sure the inside flap is not pushed too far back or too far forward.



You are ready to embellish the inside of your frame.
