Over stamp the front panel with the snow flakes from the Christmas Pines stamp set with Versamark ink.  Adhere to card front.  Set aside.

Over stamp the single tree with the snow flakes from the Christmas Pines stamp set with Versamark ink.  Set aside.

Cut Real Red cardstock 1-1/4” x 8-1/2”.  Rub front with an embossing buddy.  Stamp four bows and three presents with Versamark ink.  White emboss.  Cut presents out by hand but leave the bottom of each present about ¼” longer than where the embossing ends.  Set aside.

Cut Whisper White cardstock 2-1/4” x 4” for the full sleigh.  Cut Shimmery White cardstock 1-3/4” x 3-1/4” for the intricate part of the sleigh.

We are going to use Press ‘n Seal wrap technique to adhere the intricate die.  Lay right side of the intricate sleigh on Press ‘n Seal wrap.  Press lightly to make the image cling.  Apply Fine Tip glue to the die. 

Pick up the Press ‘n Seal wrap and transfer the intricate sleigh to the main sleigh.  Press in place.
