Sleigh Bells Ring, Are You Listening? ~ DRU ~ Winter Wonderland

Hello stamplings ~  There's a new challenge starting up today over at the Dies R Us Challenge blog and the theme is "Winter Wonderland".  I knew right away that I wanted to use one of the Christmas Carol stamps from Marianne Designs for this challenge.  These are available during their special order events, so be sure to sign up for their news letter so you can be notified when they take place.


  I stamped the Winter Wonderland sentiment in the center of an A2 sized card and added some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink along the bottom and let it gently fade to white toward the top.


 I cut the Poppystamps Capri Sleigh out of red and silver mirror card stock and assembled it.  I cut a curvy hill using Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border and added some Moondust Stickles to the top edge to give it some winter sparkle.

 The flowers in the top corner were made using Dee's Distinctively Mini Poinsettias.  I dabbed a bit of Tim Holtz Texture Paste to the edges of the petals and added some Elizabeth Craft Designs Silk Microfine Glitter to the center of the poinsettia.    The brown twigs are Impression Obsession Pine Twigs.

You can find all the details and join in on the fun by clicking here.  You could be the next winner of a DRU Gift Certificate!

I wanted to remind you that we have some exciting news to share with you.  Dies R Us now has opened a sister store with warehouses in the USA and Canada called Didi Crafts 


It will ship to both the US and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!  We'd love for you to visit by clicking on the links above or by clicking here.


Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful, love that sleigh, so pretty trimmed in silver and your flowers are so pretty, love the extra touch of snow on them, pretty blending of the ink on the background. You do know I will be singing that all morning now :)
