One Horse Open Sleigh

Hello my friends!  Hope you've had a chance to check out the new Online Exclusives that are available on the Stampin'Up! website starting July 6th.  There are so many new things it's like Christmas in July!  I was able to order the One Horse Open Sleigh Suite early as a demonstrator.  It just came a few days ago, and I've been obsessed with it!  Especially the 6" x 6" DSP called One Horse Open Sleigh.  On my goodness!  Every once in a while, Stampin'Up! creates a designer paper that just blows me away.  This is truly one of those very special designer papers that I'm getting hooked on.  I love the watercolor-style winter scenery on each of them.  I can't believe I've worked with this for three days and haven't even gone beyond the DSP to really explore the stamps.  But it's been incredibly fun!  So, today's post will not be focusing on one card that I created, but a collage of Christmas cards using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP.  Hope you get a little bit inspired and start seeing the possibilities.  Before I start sharing them, I must admit that a couple of them aren't quite finished.  Some might need a sentiment added, but I'm waiting for the Brightest Glow set (page 42).  I could have sworn I owned it, but I really can't find it.  Botheration!!  So, it is ordered and on its way.  Then I can finish these cards up.  Just use your imagination when looking at some of the cards.  😉😂

Each of these cards is finished inside.  The white layer is embellished with some of the trimmed off DSP to match the card.  I didn't think you wanted to see the inside of each of these cards.  You get the idea of adding a strip of DSP to either the side or bottom of the white layer because I do it all the time.

I love each and every one of these cards.  And I looove the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper.  Even with all these designs, there are still DSP prints that I haven't used yet!  Did I mention I love this paper??  The 6" x 6" paper comes in a pack of 48 sheets so there's four of every design.  Now if you use one piece per card, that'll give you 48 cards.  If some are using only half a sheet, that just increases the number.  I think this is an awesome bargain for anyone who wants to make lots of cards quickly, because there is only minimal stamping and die-cutting.  Easy Peasy Christmas coming your way!

Remember to check out the Online Exclusives that Stampin'Up! is offering.  You'll find lots of treasures.

Don't forget that Bonus Days are here right now.  You'll receive a $5 Bonus Coupon for every $50 you spend during the rest of July.  Then you can redeem them all in August.  Have fun shopping!

Keep on stamping and creating,
