I've been trying new card forms lately. Since I hadn't made a slimline card before, I have two to show you that feature the Large Vintage Sled on a snowy field created with the Snowmen Snowglobe die and decorated with pine branches and sprigs. This is the first one I made…
materials used
- dark green cardstock cut 7 X 8 3/4, scored at 3 1/2
- white cardstock, 2 pieces 3 1/4 X 8 1/2
- Blueberry Distressed Dots paper, 2 pieces 3 X 8 1/4
- white cardstock, SNOWMEN GLOBE 94492 for the snowy hill
- dark green dot paper for the sled base, GARLAND STRIPES AND DOTS PP1011
- dark green floral/leafy paper for the sled slats, GARLAND PP1010
- LARGE VINTAGE SLED 94496
- FOREST PINE BRANCH 94481
- POINTY PINE NEEDLE SPRIGS 94487
- dark brown striped paper for the branch, GARLAND STRIPES AND DOTS PP1011
- green plaid paper for the pine needles on the branch and for the sprigs inside the card, CHRISTMAS PLAID PP1009
- small burlap bow
and this is the second one…
This time I used Cranberry Snow cardstock for the front and another piece on the inside placed on top of Cranberry Distressed Dots paper. I named the sled Rosebud because I used both the front and back of the rosebud paper in the Garland pack to make the sled. I also used a dark green dot paper from Garland Stripes and Dots for the pine needle pieces.
I started a third card, this time horizontal, and moved the sled to the inside. On the front I have the white mat layer and think I will add an interesting patterned paper and my sentiment there.
Any of these cards could be used for the holidays or could be sent any time this coming winter. I do LOVE the large vintage sled!
Happy Crafting!
So pretty!
