I’m finally sharing the card that I made for my brother’s birthday – which was back on August 12th. That was the night of the sushi knife and foot incident hence the delay in posting this card. I CASEd the idea for this one from the catalogue. There are three scenes in the sleigh ride edgelits set, a santa and sleigh pulled by a horse (hence the name), buildings and the trees. I started off working on my card using the buildings but for some reason changed my mind and pulled out greens and the trees. I cut out the trees in pear pizzazz and then did the same again in old olive. By flipping the old olive over I could have the trees on the other side of the card. Then I cut them out again in mossy meadow. This is when I realised that the card looked a bit off with the mossy meadow trees directly above the pear pizzazz ones. So  I cut them out again but didn’t have the framelit at the edge of the card. After I removed the excess from die cutting the trees, I hand cut the slope to the right of the trees so that they were no longer directly above the pear pizzazz trees. Much better!

I was quite pleased that I remembered to stamp the greeting – from Endless Birthday Wishes – before I assembled the card. The mossy meadow layer is glued to the very vanilla piece. The old olive is popped up on stampin’ dimensionals. The pear pizzazz is popped up as well – with the trees that are overlapping the mossy meadow piece popped up with double dimensionals. Here’s a peek at the side view:

This was a fun card to make. I’ve already made a card using the sleigh – one of my friends has already declared that one the design for her Christmas cards!

See you tomorrow,
