Are you staying warm?  It has been cold here in Castle Rock, Colorado so it is fitting that when I needed a thank you card and a birthday card I made them with a winter scene.

Cherie Davies made a card like this back in December of 2015 and I saved it to Pinterest since I had purchased the Sleigh Ride Edgelits from Stampin’ Up! and knew ‘someday’ I would use them.  That someday finally came, though I tweeked a few details as usual and changed the greetings.  I did make a Christmas card with the framelits – HERE.

• Base:  Basic White,  5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Layer 1 (X2):  Night of Navy, 5 3/8 X 4 1/8 (1/16th reveal)
• Layer 2 (X2):  Basic White, 5 1/4 X 4 (1/16th reveal); Emboss with Snowfall Embossing Folder
• Banner:
  • #3 framelit, Basic White
  • #4 framelit, Night of Navy, cut the sides of the banner to be 1/16″
  • #1 framelit, Night of Navy, tail between the large framelits
• Circle:
  • Use Circle framelits #6 and #7 to make a frame in Grey Granite
  • Die cut a #7 circle framelit from snowy DSP and sponge the edges with blue
  • Die cut two #6 circle framelits from Basic White
    • Die cut one about 1/2 way with trees from Sleigh Ride Edgelits
    • Die cut one about 1/3 of the circle with the sleigh and horse from the Sleigh Ride Edgelits
    • Use Snow puff paint sprinkled with glitter on the top edges of both
• Bow:  Blue Seam Binding Ribbon made into a double bow
• Greetings: Stamp in Night of Navy
  • ‘Small Script’ for the “wish” and “grateful” on the front of the banners
  • ‘Happiness Abounds’ for the “sending many thanks…” and “Happy Birthday”
  • ‘Very Versailles’ for the “Have A Beautiful Day”  

I think you were still dreaming about the sleigh ride you went on in Steamboat before Christmas.

You are probably right.  It was such a special time to go to Steamboat and have a sleigh ride with the family on our 49th wedding anniversary.

We did the hot cocoa ride.  They also do dinner rides.  It was an unforgettable afternoon with a glorious sunset to finish the day.  So when you are in Steamboat Springs you can ride a hot air balloon -that’s the pilot in the picture- and then go for a sleigh ride.

I think they would rather know the name of this place than the name of the stamps you used.

Nah, once a stamper, always a stamper but it was the Bar Lazy L ranch.  I will link it in the computer below.

Thanks for stopping by.

SAL,  Snowing A Lot
