Inspiration for Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

I absolutely love the holidays.  For “All Things Christmas”, I just can’t get enough.  Especially this year, it will be something to be savored, something to be thankful for, and something that will let us look forward to the future and getting back to normal.  I challenged myself to create something that could be left sitting out – something that would be a showpiece.  What better way to do that, than another vignette type card that can also hold things.

The place that my soul starts is always with “traditional” Christmas.  It’s always the icing on the cake, the first picture in the stack.  When I look back on my traditional pictures each year, I consider the box checked.  But, there’s so much to be said for non-traditional colors.  So the lovely thing is that this little sleigh wears them all so well.  Whether it is red, green and gold or icy shades of blue and silver – there’s no doubt when you see the layout, that Christmas is coming or better yet, Christmas is here.  Yep, we actually start celebrating when we throw our hearts into the preparation.

I couldn’t resist but to pair the sleigh with the little deer from my Christmas Cascade Collection.  Can’t you just imagine this little sleigh tied on to a little gift?

Paper Poinsettias!

And the blue flowers for this sleigh were inspired by Creative Team Member Patricia Manhire.  I absolutely fell in love with them.  You’re in luck!  She teaches how to make them, step-by-step, in one of our Learning Units in the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Encouragement Facebook Group.   That, along with over 100 other tutorials will help to get you ready for Christmas, is what we’ve been up to this past month.

As always, I had to do a flat card.  I’ve been doing slimline for many years so I’m so glad to see everyone embracing the long/tall cards.  I thought it was a perfect way to showcase the sleigh.  So there, just as easily as you have something 3D, you can have the conventional 2D card as well.

As always you know we have something up our sleeves.  There are so many fun dates coming up.

Watch as Anita Kejriwal teaches us How to Make Paper Poinsettias using the Cinch and Go Poinsettia dies in in the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Encouragement Community, our Facebook Group.

Please know that I count you all as blessings in my life.  I’ve passed some recent milestones and have tried to sit and write about them but the words just wouldn’t come.  I’ll try again but didn’t want to miss the opportunity to thank those of you who have stood by me for so long.  I really appreciate it.  This blog and the friends I’ve found here are part of my being.  Thank you.

It always touches me that you stop by.  For many, it has been a decade.  This is not something I take lightly – I am continually humbled.  Thank you!

    What a beautiful sleigh just perfect for Christmas.ReplyCancel

  • Becky BNovember 1, 2020 - 11:09 am

    These sleighs are absolutely gorgeous and I want to try my hand at replicating them. I would like to know what kind of paper you used for the poinsettias, what you sprayed on them before using the ball-tip, and what the flower centers are (are they available at my local craft store and what should I look for). You can tell I have not done any projects like these; I mostly scrapbook flat things. All of your designs are so fanciful and elegant, perfect for the holidays. Thank you.ReplyCancel

    • Becca FeekenNovember 1, 2020 - 3:14 pm

      Hi Becky,

      I used white glue to assemble and all of the papers were purchased at Joann’s – they are Bazill.

      For the Traditional Sleigh
      The Red is Bazill Phoenix and the Green is Bazzill Guacamole. From the feel these are 80lb papers. The gold is foil cardstock from Michaels. For the stems, I had to double them up because my flowers were heavy.

      For the White and Silver Sleigh
      The white paper it Michaels Dove White 110lb paper. I also used their silver mirror card stock.

      The flowers are just as simple as they look in the video. I just spritzed with plain water and the dabbed the excess away.

      The stamens might be a little elusive but I have found them before at Hobby Lobby in the cake decorating section. If you can’t find anything simply glue a pearl there. There is also a die in the set that will cut the berries.

      It’s really a fun set and may take about 30 minutes for the first one. :-)ReplyCancel

    geeesh, that’s gorgeous.
    Am I understanding correctly, that you can’t order this die set unless you’re a monthly subsriber?

    Oh, Becca, you’ve done it again! This is absolutely gorgeous! You really do think of the most beautiful things to create and inspire. Hoping all is well with you and your family, and keeping you in my prayers. So many have still not recovered from Michael and I hope you are not among them. God bless you, sweet friend.ReplyCancel

  • ANN ROBBINSNovember 1, 2020 - 11:56 am

    Oh Becca, just love the little sleigh! Didn’t do last months because I was in the process of selling my house and moving into a Mobile Home Community. Still don’t have my craft room up and running but labeled all the boxes so shouldn’t be too much of a challenge putting it all back together. Looking forward to getting the sleigh. Reminds me of winters back in NY.
    Hope you have finally gotten your house situation back to “normal.”
    Hugs,
    AnnReplyCancel

    Becca each month when the APG die is previewed I get so excited and anxious to start working on it.
    I think each month that this one will be my favorite and really they all are. Your designs are the best.
    I wish you a wonderful Holiday Season and look forward to all the new designs in 2021. Also wanted to tell you how wonderful the Facebook group is and how much I appreciate the team and the units of instruction that you give us. God Bless you all

    Hello Becca. I’ve been following you for close to 20 years now. I started following you when you were a designer for Kelly. It was your style that inspired me to start making cards. I’ve watched you go through some trying times but your spiritual beliefs have always moved you above and beyond it. You have shown us all that faith, a positive attitude and dedication to growing your gift will result into wonderful things. Thank you for being my continuous inspiration.ReplyCancel
