This was one of the Christmas cards I sent out in 2025 and received so many compliments. This set is so pretty and reminds me of the holidays and being a kid sledding with my friends on the local hill.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Soft Succulent card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Silver card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Real Red card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Light green card stock (? It isn’t Soft Sea Foam so not sure what color it is)
- White card stock
- Soft Succulent and Silver designer series paper (Stampin’ Up but I don’t remember from what specific pack)
- Sophisticated Sled stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
- Embellished Ornaments stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
- Decorative label die about 1” x 2”
- Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder (Stampin’ Up)
- Soft Succulent ink
- Thin Twine
- Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From the Soft Succulent card stock cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 9 ½” and score on the long side at 1 ¼”, 2 ½” and 6”. This forms the step portion of your card. Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 11”, folded in half.
With the light green card stock cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4”. Use the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhere to the front panel of the step portion of the soft succulent card base.
With the Soft Succulent and Silver designer series paper cut a piece to 1”x 4” and adhere to the front of the step. Then cut another piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼” and adhere that to the front of the 2 ¾” x 11” piece. Adhere the 2 ¾” x 11” with the front adhered to the front of the step and the back adhered to the back of the card, centered.
Grab some white card stock and your Soft Succulent ink and the “Thinking of You at Christmas” greeting from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set and stamp and then use your label die to cut. Adhere to the lower right corner of the front of your card. Cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4” for the inside of your card and stamp with the Soft Succulent ink and the “With loving wishes for a bright and beautiful season” greeting and adhere to the inside of your card.
That gets your card all done except for building the sled. With the silver card stock cut the sled rails. With the Crumb Cake card stock cut the wood base for the sled and the wood rail for the front of the sled. With your thin twin feed through the two holes of the wood rail for the front of the sled. Then adhere both of the wood looking pieces to the silver rails. Cut one of the leafy pieces out of soft succulent card stock and another out of the light green card stock, adhering the light green to the top of the Soft Succulent one, angled a bit so they both show and adhere that to the upper part of the wood base. With the Real Red card stock cut a bow and adhere that to the front of the leaves. Adhere the sled to the front upper portion of your card with pop dots to set it off.
That is how you make this lovely card with the Sophisticated Sled set.
