A christmas Sleigh

I have something special to show you today, i hope you love it as much as I do, its a little christmas sleigh.  Its so cute and perfect for a small christmas gift like jewellery, choccies, lots of little sweet things, wrapped in cellophane with a gorgeous tag, what a perfect christmas gift.  There are a couple of other little things on here that I found fun to do:

The gold centres of the poinsettias have been made by:

A. add versamark to brushed gold cardstock

B. tip heat n stick powder over the top and heat until just bubbly

C. Tip champagne glass glitter over the top and then heat set again

D. Now punch out the circles using your 1/2" circle punch.

E. I spritzed the poinsettias with water, heat set, then spritzed again with shimmer paint made into a spritz.

How I made the paper pine cones:

A. Punch out 20 or so chocolate chip circles ( I used 1/2" circle but would be better a fraction smaller)

B. score in half, then using the back of your piercer (or something smaller) make a cup of each circle.

C.  Using a bit of craft wire or the like, pop some glue onto your first circle and wrap it around the top of the wire, then do the same with the rest of the circles in a spiral pattern (to make the tips of the cones odd layered).Layer down the wire until you are happy with the size of your cone.  I made about 5 layers down to create mine.

D. You can keep it on the wire, but i slid my "cone" off, then glued to my project.

I used a die for the inside of a pop up card called sleigh 3D by sizzix, then created a little box for the centre of the two die cuts, measures 10 cm x 7cm scored at 1.5cm all around (really easy).  There are aheap of sleigh templates floating around on the internet though, I could have easily used one of them.
