Hello everyone,
Gosh, my act is not together these last few days, I forgot I was hostess on my DT, so sorry team, then posted the wrong season on my other DT, so sorry team, anyone would think I was very busy or senile.....probably the latter, so much to look forward to..ha ha ha..
ANYWAY!...I was going to make an easel card, they are popular and look very cool, but as I made the base, it tipped over and I found that I liked what I saw......so went with it..
Sorted out some papers that were a bit different from not using papers..
And was getting organised to start the card....glued the papers on the base,
and this happened..
Oh, that looks like fun..and folds flat.. and straight away I though Santa sleigh..
Laying flat..added blue/grey snowflake paper,
ripped/torn, along the bottom??
And a green plaid sky??
Santas sleigh was die cut in red...then gold...then paper pieced together
Fiddly but fun, and no bad language was heard......this time.
Added some fine red ribbon on front of the sleigh.
And filled it with presents I made using plaid papers and card stock..
A couple of left-over trees in the background and the sleigh was ready to go..
and on the other panel inside was Santas reindeer all tied with the ribbon to pull it along..
passed the trees with the giant full moon glowing and showing him the way..
Added some extra snow, snowflakes and a Christmas sentiment..
card close and with its envelope.
under the trees and the Deers feet too..
one more sentiment..
and the card finished and standing up..
What a lot of fun that was, and now, setting up this post, I just had another idea, so off to play after popping this on schedule, so I'll see you Saturday or Sunday, well, with my brain it could be next Tuesday..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
Luv CHRISSYxx

You made my day with your story, Chrissy. I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face. And I'm also enjoying your photos of the making of this stunning card. I love the reindeer with the red ribbon with the sleigh at the other side of the card. Sublime!!

Oh Chrissy you crack me up! Your posts are always so entertaining and fun to read. Love your sideways easel- we'll all be copying this idea! It works so well with the sleigh, reindeer and ribbon reins. Love your trees and moon and the tartan sky!

It's a sleigh full of wonderful goodies and such a beautiful card too! Very pretty.

Such a stunning easel card here Chrissy! I love that very elegant sleigh and how you've arranged the ribbon around the edge to show the deer is pulling it! Such a clever and very pretty scene!

Well that tip was a happy accident Chrissy. I love the sideways easel and so beautifully decorated. Senile!!!! Never!
You sound like me trying to keep everything straight, it was worth the wait, you have made great scenes with every turn of the card. I love that sleigh, so fancy
Squeal, I LOVE it, what a brilliantly clever mind you have. It definitely thinks outside the box Chrissy.
