Sophisticated Sled and Forever Forest

This is a card that I made with the Sophisticated Sled and the Forever Forest stamps sets. I also used the Snowflake Sky and Swirly Embossing Folders. It has a lot of details, but it was fun to make.

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Sets: Sophisticated Sled (Online Exclusive - July 3, Forever Forest - Annual catalog

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, and Crumb Cake

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce, Crumb Cake, Versamark, Wow Opaque White Regular Embossing Powder, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Sophisticated Sled Dies, Forever Forest Dies, Countryside Corner Dies, Snowflake Sky EF. Swirly EF, Heat Tool, Blending Brush, Paper Snips, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

1. The base of the card is Real Red cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2. The second layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4”. Use the Blending Brush with Balmy Blue ink for the sky.

3. Add a row of Forever Forest with Shaded Spruce ink approximately in the middle of the card.

4. Insert the card into the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder.

5. Stamp the larger tree on Basic White cardstock and die-cut but only use two by using the Paper Snips to trim off the right one. Adhere to the left with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

6. Cut a 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White and insert into the Swirly Embossing Folder. Tear across the top edge to create a snow drift. Use the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink. Adhere to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

7. Tear another piece for the lower snow drift. Use the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut off the bottom excess.

8. Die-cut the Real Red cardstock for the frame. Use a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink on the Crumb Cake cardstock before die-cutting the wooden sled. Attach with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Insert the sled into the snow drift using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

9. Ink up the bird with Tuxedo Black Memento and color with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends and Pumpkin Pie for his beak. Adhere with a Stampin’ Dimensional on the right of the snow drift.

10. Ink up the sentiment “Let it Snow” with Versamark ink and the Wow Embossing White Powder on Real Red cardstock. Heat set with Heat Tool and die-cut with the Countryside Corner Dies so that it smaller than the die, and adhere to the snow drift on the left with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
