One-Horse Open Sleigh - Bridge Card


The horse and sleigh are perfect for making a bridge card.  Although, I think I should have used another layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock for the bridge to make it stronger.  This idea came from Karen Titus.  It measures 4-1/4" x 8" and scored at 1-1/4" and 2-1/2" on each side.  The background Designer Series Paper make a beautiful sunset with the little red birds.

One Horse Opens Sleigh - Easel Card

I'm adding another card to my blog with the One Horse Opens Sleigh DSP and stamp set Horse & Sleigh. This is an easel card which was very easy to make.  You just cut your cardstock 4-1/4" x 11" and score it at 4-1/4" and 8-1/2".  Then you should create your layers and pop up your sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals and add embellishments.  I learned this technique from Karen Titus, but I've made Easel Cards in the past and they are so much fun to make and they display nicely on a shelf.

One-Horse Open Sleigh – Fun Fold


This was one of the first videos I saw made with this Designer Series Paper by Judy Klock, so I wanted to try to make one too.  It is a fun-fold card and it is easy to make.  It shows off the beautiful One-Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper which has several scenes.  I bought the One-Horse Open Sleigh Suite so that I could get the stamp set, the DSP, and the Dies that go with it.

Stamp Set:  Horse & Sleigh

Cardstock:  Early Espresso, Basic White, One-Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Ink:  Early Espresso

Other:  Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Adhesive Backed Snowflake Assortment

 

1.     The base of the card is Early Espresso cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 1-1/2”and 4-1/4”.

2.    Cut the DSP at the bottom so it will be 6” x 5-1/4” and then cut at 2-3/4”, 1-1/4” and 2”.  Then adhere the 2-3/4” DSP to the front panel, to the front but just the left side with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Then glue the 1-1/4” DSP to the second panel.  Then the 2” DSP to the third panel on the left side.  Cut 1-3/4” x 5-1/4” Basic White cardstock for the right side.

4.    Cut a ¾” x 3-3/4” Basic White label.  Ink up the sentiment “Wishing You a Season of Cheer” from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set with Early Espresso ink.

Trucking Along with Rays of Sunlight

 




I happened to come across a YouTube video that was in Dutch (scrapexe.net) but I didn't understand it, but I've been a stamper for 22 years, so I kind of knew how she made her card even though I didn't have the instructions, so I made this card and love how it turned out and wrote my instructions in English.
This stamp set "Trucking Along" is from the Online Exclusives HERE, so it can't be found in any of the Stampin' Up! catalogs.  It's been so popular that only the stamp set is available #162299 but not the punch until October, 2023, but it would be easy to cut out with the Paper Snips.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Here are my instructions: 

Stamp Sets:  Trucking Along, Rays of Light, Legendary Ride

Cardstock:  Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, Thick Basic White

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Daffodil Delight, Boho Blue, Old Olive

Blends:  Old Olive, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Trucking Along Builder Punch, Playing in the Rain Dies (clouds), Stampartus, Blending Brushes, Daubers, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Sticky Post-its

 

1.     The base of the card is Basic Gray cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” and 2-3/4”.  Fold and burnish the score lines with the Bone Folder.

2.    Insert Basic White cardstock into the Stamparatus and ink up the Rays of Light stamp set with Daffodil Delight.  Then cut the Basic White down to 4-1/2” x 3-3/4”. Then cut it in half at 2-1/4” x 3-3/4” so that it fits on the front and middle panel.

3.    There are two layers of Smokey Slate cardstock cut at 2-1/2” x 4” each for the front panel and the middle panel.  Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

4.     Cut another Smokey Slate for the inside at 4” x 5-1/4” and one Basic White cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5”. Insert it into the Stamparatus and ink up the Rays of Light on half with Daffodil Delight ink.  Layer onto the Smokey Slate with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

5.    For the outside, cut Basic Gray cardstock at 2-3/4” x 4”.  Cut Basic White cardstock at 2-1/2”” x 3-3/4”. Die-cut the clouds from Playing in the Rain Dies from Sticky Post-its or Masking Paper and arrange on the upper part of the 2-1/2” x 3-3/4” Basic White cardstock.  Use Boho Blue ink and a Blending Brush to make the sky.  Use Old Olive ink and a Blending Brush for the ground.  Remove the sticky note clouds.

6.    Ink up the sentiment “Sending You Sunny Thoughts” with Tuxedo Black Memento and stamp on the very bottom right hand-hand side.

7.    Ink up the stamp from Legendary Ride (scenery) with Basic Gray and stamp on either side where the sky and ground meet.

8.    Ink up the outline of the truck stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Basic White cardstock scrap.  Ink up the tires stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento. Then Ink up the palm trees and surf boards with Tuxedo Black Memento and color in with Blends and cut it out with the Paper Snips leaving an extra ¼” at the bottom.

9.    Ink up the solid image of the truck with Boho Blue and with a Dauber add Night of Navy ink to the fenders and top of the cab.  Huff on the stamp and stamp on top of the stamped image.  Use the Truck Builder Punch to punch it out.  Put Dimensionals on the back and add the palm trees and surfboard to the back of the truck with a thin layer of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Put a Dimensional where it meets the truck and another one behind the palm tree.  Place them between the scenery stamps.
