Happy Hump Day, Bleeps*! Today, I have a special blog candy for you! I'm giving away one of Tracy Schultz's new Sleigh Ride stamp sets!! The card is a mini, measuring 4" x 4.25" and perfect to stash in holiday gift bags or on top of those famous fruit baskets! I kept the design simple and focused on holiday colors and themes so it can be given to anyone regardless of their religious affiliation. The photo does not depict the letter press technique I used with the Spellbinders Impressabilities, but you will just have to believe me when I say it's there. What I mean by it, is the embossed patterned with the white ink overlay. This is such a neat technique and you may find a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers by Beate!

I love what you've been doing with this set, Ashley. Looks like a great one!
Cute card! I love the smaller card size!
Very elegant card. I bet the white embossed is fab in person. That is such a great technique!
Just something about sleighs - reminds me of the old Bing Crosby musicals where they ride around in the snow in a sleigh singing holiday caroles. Sleigh bells ring ... are you listening? Thanks for the chance to win!
I just love Tracy's new stamp set and would love the opportunity to win won....kind of an early Christmas present ;) Thanks for the opportunity!
So pretty! I love the white snowflakes on the red!
What a fun card, Ashley! Love that color combo!
Cute card Ashley! I love the detailing!
i, too, am making WINTER cards. i like the snowflake overlay and will have to try that myself.
I too love making cards that can be given to anyone and I don't use sentiments either. Since I am Romanian I don't like to put English sentiments on my cards so I just leave them without.
Love the letterpress technique. Haven't tried it, but I am sure it looks super!
Ashley - this is beautiful and so elegant. I have this same impressability but haven't had the chance to use it - I will have to head over to Beate's blog and take a look at her tutorial.
Thanks for the chance to win such a great stamp set.
I love the simplicity of this card. I'm going to have to try that technique.
The sleigh set is sweet -- you could make the four "varieties" of filled sleighs, plus use the decorative holly or pine cone stamps to make accents for tags! Thanks for the chance.
So, so pretty! I have been trying to figure out my Christmas card for this year and this set would do the trick! Thanks so much, Ashley!
Beautiful card. I'd love to win this set!
