Watch the creation of this Santa's Sleight scene card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The size and scale of the adorable images in the new Santa's Sleigh Stamp and Die set are perfect for creating a full size scene on a card front. I paired these images with the new Galactic Cover for a snowy background and cloud borders from the Landscape Trio Dies.
To create the background, I die cut a snowy background from smooth white cardstock using the Galactic Cover. I used Post It Tape to mask off the edges from the stitching line out and inked the background with Faded Jeans and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks before splattering the background with watered down Picket Fence Distress Paint. Once dry, I adhered the panel to a white side fold card base.
Cloudy borders were die cut from vellum and smooth white cardstock using a Landscape Trio Die. A sentiment from the Santa's Sleigh Stamp and Die set was stamped on the smooth white border using black ink and the clouds were adhered along th ebottom edge of the background with foam adhesive.
Images from the Santa's Sleigh Stamp and Die set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Intense Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies. The "Merry Christmas" greeting from the Little Santa Agenda was used to customize the sign. The images were adhered to the scene as shown, popping up the sleigh and reindeer with foam adhesive.
"Reins" were added by gluing thin hemp to the scene. Glossy Accents was added to the sign pole, Santa's glasses, and the red nose. Pale Gold Nuvo Crystal Drops were added to the reindeer collar and the reins. White Blizzard Nuvo Crystal Drops were added to the cut out holes in the snowy sky and the snow on top of the sign. A Marvy Snow Pen was used to add dimension and texture to Santa's hat and outfit.
