A snowy cabin in the woods sets the scene for my project today. Thank you Stampin’ Up! for the One Horse Open Sleigh Suite.
The fun fold I chose is a type of “Gate Fold” also one of my favorite folds. Perfect for showing off the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 DSP. Here’s how I did it.

Wow, Rae! This card is gorgeous!! I didn’t get the bundle but just got the DSP today – I can’t wait to cut it up soon. Somehow I can think of holiday cards when it’s 90 outside, but I’m sure it won’t be long. This fold is perfect for showing it off. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Thank you Debbie. Stay cool, my friend.
