Sledding Slimline Card by Anne Thompson

I've been trying new card forms lately.  Since I hadn't made a slimline card before, I have two to show you that feature the Large Vintage Sled on a snowy field created with the Snowmen Snowglobe die and decorated with pine branches and sprigs.  This is the first one I made...

materials used

• dark green cardstock cut 7 X 8 3/4, scored at 3 1/2
• white cardstock, 2 pieces 3 1/4 X 8 1/2
• Blueberry Distressed Dots paper, 2 pieces 3 X 8 1/4
• white cardstock, SNOWMEN GLOBE 94492 for the snowy hill
• dark green dot paper for the sled base, GARLAND STRIPES AND DOTS PP1011
• dark green floral/leafy paper for the sled slats, GARLAND PP1010
• LARGE VINTAGE SLED 94496
• FOREST PINE BRANCH 94481
• POINTY PINE NEEDLE SPRIGS 94487
• dark brown striped paper for the branch, GARLAND STRIPES AND DOTS PP1011
• green plaid paper for the pine needles on the branch and for the sprigs inside the card, CHRISTMAS PLAID PP1009
• small burlap bow

and this is the second one...

This time I used Cranberry Snow cardstock for the front and another piece on the inside placed on top of Cranberry Distressed Dots paper.  I named the sled Rosebud because I used both the front and back of the rosebud paper in the Garland pack to make the sled.  I also used a dark green dot paper from Garland Stripes and Dots for the pine needle pieces.

I started a third card, this time horizontal, and moved the sled to the inside.  On the front I have the white mat layer and think I will add an interesting patterned paper and my sentiment there.  

Any of these cards could be used for the holidays or could be sent any time this coming winter.  I do LOVE the large vintage sled!

Happy Crafting!
