Spread the love!

A great card for beginners!

This holiday spread joy and warmth with a simple yet enchanting holiday card featuring the Horse and Sleigh stamp set and dies. Embrace the timeless appeal of Currier and Ives as you create a scene that captures the essence of the holiday spirit.

Begin with the Horse and Sleigh stamp set and coordinating dies, along with the exquisite Designer Series Paper Traditions of St. Nick, and get ready to create magic.

Start by stamping the horse and sleigh image onto Cherry Cobbler cardstock using Versamark ink and embossing it with WHITE embossing powder. Consider adding elegance by embossing the image with metallic or glittery embossing powder. This will give your card a touch of shimmer that will surely delight the recipient.

Once the image is stamped and embossed, carefully die-cut it using the coordinating dies. The precision of the dies ensures clean and crisp edges, adding a professional touch to your card.

Now it’s time to create a picturesque scene reminiscent of Currier and Ives. Choose a beautiful sheet of Designer Series Paper from the Traditions of St. Nick collection. Look for patterns that evoke a sense of nostalgia and charm. Trim the paper to fit the front of your card, leaving a small border for a polished look.

Next, layer the horse and sleigh image on top of the Designer Series Paper, positioning it in a way that creates a visually pleasing composition. Adhere securely using your preferred adhesive, ensuring it stays in place.

To complete the card, consider adding some finishing touches. Add the sentiment stamped on Basic Black card stock. You can embellish the scene with a sprinkle of glitter, or perhaps attach a small holiday sentiment to convey your warm wishes. Be brave and experiment with different textures, such as ribbons or twine, to add even more depth and character to your creation.

Remember, this card is a timeless beauty that will capture the hearts of your loved ones. Share it with those who appreciate the magic of the holiday season, and watch as smiles light up their faces in delight.

Wishing you a joyful and creative holiday season!
