Petite Pocket Sleigh Tutorial

The Petite Pocket is turning out to be even more versatile than I first thought.  It can even make a Christmas sleigh!

As I was making another project I started to see the possibilities for a sleigh.   I really wanted to use the candy canes from the Stocking Accents die as runners.  It took some manipulating and some advice from my art student son to get the arched base right but I think the end result is pretty cute.  The sides of the sleigh took some thought too but I came up with way to use the Top Note die to make them.

Materials:
Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper
Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso cardstock
Petite Pocket Die
Stocking Accents Die
Top Note Die
2-1/2" Circle Punch
Petal Card Double Punch
Winter Wishes Stitched Felt
Mini Jingle Bells

Tutorial:
1. Fold the Petite Pocket die cut on score lines.  Curve the front and back sections over a pencil or marker to shape.

 2. Cut a Top Note in half.

3. Slide it into the 2-1/2" Circle punch as shown and punch.

4. It will look like this.

5. Use sticky strip to adhere inside of sleigh.  Cut a small strip of matching DSP to wrap from side-to-side across the back to hold the back in place.

6.  Cut two 1/2" X 8"strips of Early Espresso cardstock.  Score at 2" and 6".  Fold on score lines.

7. Adhere the two short sections together to form an arch.

8. Cut four candy canes from Cherry Cobbler.  Trim as shown.  Overlap and adhere to form the runners.

9.  Attach the runners to the arch and using multiple mini glue dots attach the arch to the bottom of the sleigh.

10.  For each tiny Christmas present, punch two shapes with the Petal Card Double punch.  Overlap two petals.

11.  Adhere the other side.

 12. And the ends.

 13. Wrap a strip of DSP around the box.

 14.  It will look so cute!

15.  Adhere jingle bells to wreath and decorate the sleigh with Winter Wishes Stitches Felt pieces.
