Good Morning! The beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is perfect for making quick Christmas cards. There are so many pretty images that you can easily cut to size and mount on a card base. Add some embellishments and sentiments and you’re done. I used another image from the paper pack with the wonderful sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Horse and Sleigh stamp set to make today’s quick Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered adhered a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to a real Red mat with liquid glue and popped it on the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with dimensionals.

I stamped another panel of the DSP with the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Horse and Sleigh photopolymer stamp set using Versamark ink. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I used one of the Deckled Rectangle dies to cut it out, cutting the top and left sides first and then cutting the bottom and right. It’s so easy to use a two step die cutting technique with these dies because you don’t have to match anything!

I adhered the die cut label to an Early Espresso mat with liquid glue. I looped some silver trim on the card, adhering it with glue dots and popped the label over the top with dimensionals. I adhered white adhesive snowflakes around the scene and filled the center with small rhinestones for extra sparkle. I finished the label with another rhinestone.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! Horse and Sleigh stamp set in stamped off Crumb Cake ink on Basic White and the sentiment in Real Red. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The touches of green and Real Red in the label and mat really bring in the holiday spirit with this panel of DSP! I love the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Horse and Sleigh stamp set as they are perfect for sending a quick handmade Christmas greeting! These stamps and the DSP are part of the latest drop of new Online Exclusives from Stampin’ Up!

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Online Exclusives Stampin’ Up! Horse and Sleigh photopolymer stamp set with the beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make a simple Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge for our Blog Hop this week:

I adhered a Real Red panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to an Early Espresso mat. I cut another panel of the DSP featuring the sweet little deer and adhered it to an Early Espresso mat before adhering it to the Real Red panel. I adhred the layered panel to the front of a Gray Granite card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Horse and Sleigh stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White. I trimmed the ends of strips of One horse Open Sleigh DSP and gold More Dazzle specialty paper with my paper snips and adhered them to the back of the label with liquid glue.

I adhered a length of gold Simply Elegant trim to the card front with Stampin’ Seal to and ad the label on top with dimensionals. I finished the card front with gold snowflakes.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Horse and Sleigh stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the side with a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and More Dazzle specialty paper and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The simple Christmas sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Horse and Sleigh stamp set are perfect for pairing inside and outside sentiments on Holiday cards. And the pretty One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper has so many pretty winter landscape images, making it perfect for a quick Christmas card.

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh bundle is one of the items in the new Online Exclusives products that will be available on July 6, 2023. I just received my bundle along with the beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and I made this quick Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh photopolymer stamp set in Versamark ink on a strip of Vellum card stock. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I folded the right side and adhered the flap to the back of a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP with Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a strip of More Dazzle specialty paper to the left side of the panel (over the vellum strip) with liquid glue. I adhered the panel to an Early Espresso mat and popped it on the front of a Pool Party Card Base with Dimensionals.

I finished the card front with adhesive snowflakes (also available July 6).

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White. I stamped the tree in stamped off Lost Lagoon and stamped snowflakes along the top edge in stamped off Pool Party. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

It’s great that the Online Exclusives store is getting some Christmas items so that you can get an early start on Holiday Projects! Here’s a picture of the stamp and dies that are in the Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh bundle:

And here’s a quick look at the patterns in the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP:

There are 48 sheets with 12 designs. One side has pretty winter forest and field images and the reverse has different small patterns in Holiday coordinating colors. These snippets don’t do justice for the forest images, they’re really cute as you can see from today’s card.
