Silver & Gold Sleigh Stampin' Up


If you are a crafter, you are already thinking about your Christmas cards!  The new holiday Stampin' Up catalog comes out Sept. 1st and I just had to get the beautifully detailed Santa's Sleigh set - I fell in love with the sleigh and knew it would be perfect in gold and silver.  I love all metallics so the holiday catalog swap I am in was an opportunity to do this...


The Stampin' Up products I used on this card were:

Santa's sleigh stamp set and framelits,
Delightful dijon ink and cardstock,
Presents & pine cones designer paper,
Glimmer gold paper,
Silver foil paper,
Natural trim ribbon with gold,
White mica flakes for snow,
Rhinestones, pearls, and
Sponge dauber.

I am also entering my card in 2 challenges:
Freshly Made Sketches FMS251

and Libby's Theme Challenge WWC82 - Trees

Here are a couple closeup photos of my card:




You can purchase all of the products I used on my sleigh card in my online store...that is, when the new holiday catalog becomes available on September 1st.
So what are your plans for your Christmas crafting so far?

    I love the detail on this die, and how you've contrasted the two metallic foils. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!

    Hi Mary, what an elegant card! Love the sleigh, of course, but that wonderful silver Christmas tree certainly pulls attention to itself as well. The rhinestones on the branches---they're definitely the "cherry on top". Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

    Mary what an awesome start to your Christmas cards for this year!. This card is so stunning. I love the sleigh and the gold foil tree with it's rhinestone baubles. I also liked how you turned this sketch on it's side and made it work for you. Nicely done! Thanks so much for entering your card on the Wednesday Watercooler Challenge!
