Christmas Tree Sleigh Ornament

paper Christmas ornament in the shape of a sleigh hangs from a bough of pine. The sleigh is red and covered in glitter

I am making a batch of these later, but my tester turned out kinda cute, so I couldn’t resist popping it up here. It’s the sleigh from the new Sleigh Bells Ring set and I adore it. I’ve stamped it with Stampin’ Up Real red ink for the sleigh carriage and Versamark Pinecone for the runners. The Santa sack is also stamped in real red. The shapes are cut with the free digital cut files that come with the set, I love the versatility of the cut files.

I made some bonus cut files for the latest release and those will be emailed out to all the folks who purchased, hopefully later today! The bonus files include options for hanging ornaments – you can see from the pic of the reverse of the sleigh ornament that I have stuck one of the ornament cut shapes onto the back of my sleigh and sack. I stamped that a few times with the circular Sleigh rides stamp from the set. A little Tim Holtz Antique linen Distress Ink was sponged around the edges because I love the vintage look at Christmas.

Once the sleigh was all constructed I applied glue to the front of the ornament and dumped on a pile of glitter, this one is ‘crystal course’ from an old Martha Stewart American Crafts set. What I like about this one is that it doesn’t obscure the image too much, those tiny dots of glitter are pretty transparent, and it has that retro feel that I love! Hope you like it, Ta for popping in!

    😭 Claire, I have no words. I am so sad. You are so extraordinarily talented and I am so thankful for you. What a gift you are to all of us. I am not good at expressing myself in words, so as I fumble…please know you are so dear.
