A Very Merry Christmas - Santa's Sleigh Ride


This set of cards uses the items related to "Santa's Sleigh Ride" set.  This first is a shadow box card with acetate window.


I used gelatos & baby wipes to color the front of this card - then embossed it with an embossing folder.  The focal is from the "little book" with narrow border stickers to form a frame.  The sentiment is from the essential book of Christmas greetings (2016), finished off with a narrow ribbon.

Inside is a portion of the page from the "little book" along with another greeting from the essential book of Christmas greetings.

This card has a fold-back card front with focal extending past it (1/2 of card front was embossed with embossing folder).  The bits of red ribbon & jewel dazzles really set it off well.  This is what it looks like opened:


This cover is just the card base that has been embossed & sprayed with a silver glimmer mist.  a page from the little book serves as a focal and is finished off on the bottom with a border from the kit.  The sentiment is from the essential book.

The inside is just a piece of the insert paper.


I decided to get a bit creative and change things up.  Instead of having the reindeer and sleigh in front of the house, I decided to have it flying off above it! The card front is part of the coordinating card stock, the reindeer/sleigh is a die cut & the sentiment is also from the kit - red ribbon from my stash.

The inside is pretty simple - paper with red ribbon and another sentiment from the kit. I did ink the edges of the paper.
