Open Sleigh

The Open Sleigh stamp set from the main catalog is one of my favorite Christmas sets.  It has a lovely old-fashioned "Charles Dickens" feel to it. 

Here's how I put this one together:

• I stamped the sleigh on Crumb Cake CS with Basic Black ink and trimmed it out with my paper snips
• I daubed the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint on the sleigh for sparkle
• I used Coredinations Card Stock and the Floral Framelits die for the big flower and embossed it with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder
• The strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' kit in the Holiday Catalog
• The tag is from the Mixed Medley hostess set in the Holiday catalog

Product Highlights:

Open Sleigh is a versatile and beautiful stamp set for vintage themed Christmas projects.




The Coredinations Card Stock is awesome to work with and adds an effortless vintage/distressed look to your projects when combined with an embossing folder.  The lighter colored core comes through even without sanding - but you can deepen the effect with Stampin' Sanding Block.  It's also lovely just "plain" and has a pretty textured finish for an elegant card base.





If you've been reading my blog, you may know that I LOVE the Mixed Medley hostess stamp set.  It coordinates with the super cute 1 1/4" scallop circle punch and make a perfect little tag for a variety of occasions.  Use your hostess dollars to purchase this little gem - earn them with every individual order or party over $150.
