Fun Fold Blog Hop: Sledding in Reverse!
Fun Fold Blog Hop: Sledding in Reverse!
Welcome to the Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Fun Fold Blog Hop – November 2024. Are you ready to go sledding in reverse? Reverse gatefold, that is. I love the way this fold stands up and frames the focal image.
The favorite “Nests of Winter” patterned paper showcases this Sophisticated Sled perfectly. Imagine sledding down a hill framed with birch trees filled with the sweet sound of chirping birds. Beautiful.

Love your card, thank you so much.
Thank you Candyce!
Beautiful card, Rae! I love how you paired the wood grain from the Nests of Winter DSP with the sled. It reminded me many, many years ago when we would go sledding in the park near our home! Thank you for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thank you Kathi. Sledding I never did. However, we would grab a tube, disc or toboggan and head down the hill on a path carved between the trees. Great memories! Thank you for sharing yours with me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
