I am using the new Sleigh Ride template today. This one is a stunner and super easy to put together (really!)! I cut the base and sides of the template in Real Red cardstock. The rails (aren't they fabulous?) and trim were cut from Brushed Gold cardstock.
I googled sleighs and found one that was decorated with some brocade trim. I found I had some pretty ribbon in red and gold in my ribbon box and trimmed out the bottom of the sleigh. Then, of course, I had to add sleigh bells! "Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?" Now I'm going to be singing that song all day! I strung them on some sheer gold ribbon and hot glued them to the side of the sleigh. I covered up the glue with some bows.
The inside of the sleigh is where the real gift is! I have a jewelry box decorated with gold ribbon and a velvet bag (from some piece of jewelry I purchased before) which contains some Reese's peanut butter cups (they were gold and matched my sleigh!). What a cute presentation, huh?
Now you can hop along on to the other DT blogs to see their creations.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope to see you back tomorrow with more of the MTME release!
