MFT November Creative Challenge

The MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. This month, we were challenged to create Holiday Home Decor using our MFT Stamps and Die-namics.  Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for a list of all participating designers who have a project to share with you today. 

I had picked up an unfinished wooden sleigh at Michael's a couple of months ago. I wanted to embellish it to used to hold Christmas Cards and other little items I might want to save from the holidays.

This is what the sleigh looked like before I started. I sanded it lightly and added a coat Gesso on the parts that I planned on painting. After the Gesso dried I added two coats of the red paint.

Then I traced around the parts of the sleigh I wanted to cover with paper. 

I used the Poinsettia Die-namics to create my flowers. They are cut from MFT Wild Cherry cardstock and I lightly brushed on some red Stickles and added pearls to the center of my flower. The leaves are cut from Jellybean Green cardstock and felt. 

The roses are cut with the Royal Rose Die-namics from MFT Felt in Whip Cream. 

I used the Large Leafy Flourish Die-namics to add the flourishes to each end of the sleigh. The I added some small pine cones, berries, and metal flowers from my stash.

I used one of the Triple Scallops Border Die-namics for the border on the edges of the sleigh. 

I covered the ends are portions of the inside of the sleigh with paper.

Inside I used a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments and the Clearly Sentimental Label Die-namics.
