12 Days of Christmas Sophisticated Sled
Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas with Brenda and Melanie! Can you believe we are kicking off our third year sharing amazing holiday crafting projects with you? For 12 days, Brenda and I will be posting adorable holiday crafting ideas, and it’s always so much fun! We want to inspire you to start creating, and gift your works of art this holiday season. You can find Brenda at Stamps & Stretchy Pants.
Each year I look forward to this partnership for the 12 Days of Christmas. What I love most about my Stampin’ Up! business is the friendships I create along the way. Brenda and I met because of Stampin’ Up!, and she is one of the many special people I look forward to seeing at every event. And even though we live on opposite ends of North America, we text and chat throughout the year. She is amazing, both in spirit and talent, and I am honored to share this with her!
Each day, Brenda and I will alternate posting an adorable project. Mine will be fairly simple, making it quick and easy to get your projects done this busy time of year. But simple can still be so cute! So check back each day to see what creativity we have to share. Than let us know what you think by leaving us a comment! We love to hear from you!
For 12 Days of Christmas day 1, I am sharing the Sophisticated Sled Bundle. These adorable folded tags are so easy, and I just love them! And they are so easy to create. You can make them in any color, and they can be used throughout the winter season. They open like a card, so you can write a special note inside for any occasion.
The Sophisticated Sled Bundle has been one of my favorites so far this season. It is part of the Online Exclusives in my online store. And this sled is a big reason why. Not only does this bundle have dies for the sled, but there is a sled stamp with a coordinating die as well. When you put them together, this is the result. The perfect gift tag!
And it’s fun pulling in different colors. The first tag was very traditional – Real Red and Silver Foil. However, I decided to try a Victorian color combination, creating with pink and gold. And the results are beautiful!
Here is a closer look at the bundle. I love the nostalgic feel. And the skates and sled images and dies are my favorite! Aren’t they cute?!
To create this project:
- Basic White Cardstock – folded, then die cut just above the fold for the base
- Any color foil – to die cut runners
- Real Red/Petal Pink Cardstock – wooden sled pieces (can use any color)
Die cut the sled base first after folding the Basic White cardstock. The top of the die needs to be just above fold. This creates essentially a mini card, and opens so you can write inside. Adhere runners to sled base. Using Adhesive Sheet on your foil helps make the runners easy to stick down on your project. Adhere wood pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp sentiment in black ink, fussy cut, and adhere to tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with gems. Punch a small hole in the top of the tag and add a ribbon or twine hanger, than tie a bow around the hanger.
Thanks for stopping by!
We are so glad you have joined us for the 12 days of Christmas, and I hope you enjoyed my sled tag. Now, each day Brenda and I will take turns posting, so stop back each day! However, today we are both posting to kick off the 12 days! I will share another post on day 2!
