Sleigh Ride Surprise Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a fun and festive Christmas card using the Sleigh Ride Surprise Dies set from the brand-new Holiday 2026 Collection!

This die set is so much fun with lots of awesome details! I paired it with some cute penguins from the Penguin Party set! I used pink, red, turquoise, yellow, orange, brown and green ink and liquid glue for this project! I started off by trimming a piece of red patterned paper, the one with the snowflakes and stars from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack to 4,25 x 5,5 inches and adhered it to my A2 size card base.

I then trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3,50 x 4,75 inches and masked off 0,75 inches from the bottom (portrait mode) using masking tape and ink blended the remaining part of the panel with pink ink and splattered gold watercolor to it! Next, I trimmed a slightly larger black panel to go behind my ink blended panel and adhered them to the card base, using double sided tape.

From white card stock I trimmed smaller pieces and ink blended them with my chosen colors. I then die cut out the tree, ornaments, gift boxes, light bulbs, the sack (I used kraft paper for the sack) and the sled using the Sleigh Ride Surprise Dies set.

From gold card stock, I die-cut out the top star for the tree, the bows and ribbons for the Christmas gifts, the runners for the sled, and the suspension wire for the light bulbs, also from the Sleigh Ride Surprise Dies set. Using liquid glue, I assembled the different elements.

Next, I stamped the penguins from the Penguin Party Stamps set on alcohol ink-friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers; see list below. I then die-cut them out using the coordinating Penguin Party Dies.

Copic colors used:
Penguins: N3/4/6/8, R30, W0/1
Santa´s hats/scarf: R22/24/27
Gift box: R22/24/27 Ribbon/bow: BG10/11/13

Next, I stamped the sentiment “Hope your holiday is fun & festive” from the Penguin Party Stamps set in the upper-right corner of the ink-blended panel. I added foam dots to the die-cut pieces, arranged my scene, and adhered them to the ink-blended panel!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you a happy and colorful day!
