Frosted Frames With Added Sparkle

October 1, 2019 Leave a Comment

Once again another month has flown by and I’m seriously behind in my craft fair preparations. My first event is in less than four weeks and I have a huge amount of things I want to get done before then. Christmas cards are high on that list, and today I created this one with the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set and coordinating Frosted Frames Dies.

Christmas card with yuletide sentiment from the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set and watercoloured layer cut using the Frosted Frames Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

FROSTED FRAMES

I began my project by cutting out the foliage and snowflake layer from Shimmery White Card using the large die from the Frosted Foliage Dies.

Then I prepared my ink colours by pressing onto the lids of the closed ink pads to transfer some ink from the pad to the inside of the lid. Then when I opened it I could pick up the ink from the lid using a Water Painter. First I painted the snowflakes with Seaside Spray ink. Then I painted the leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink. Finally I completed the piece by painting the berry branches with Smoky Slate ink.

Once the ink was dry I used a Fine-Tip Glue Pen to cover each snowflake with glue and sprinkled the glue with Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter. Then I set the piece aside to dry thoroughly.

FROSTED FOLIAGE

Next came the Yuletide sentiment from the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set.

For this I first wiped some Night of Navy Card with an Embossing Buddy. Then I used VersaMark ink to stamp the sentiment and sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Once I’d tapped off the excess powder and removed a few stray specks I melted the rest using my Heat Tool set on 2 (high).

With the sentiment done I then it cut out using the stitched die from the Frosted Frames Dies.

Then I began to think about how I’d coordinate the inside of the card and envelope. In the end I chose the small berry image from the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set and Smoky Slate ink.

First I stamped the image in the bottom left and top right corners of a layer of Shimmery White Card. Then I stamped the image in the same corners on the front of a Whisper White Medium Envelope.

In no time at all I was ready to start assembling my project.

For my card base I chose Night of Navy Card and began by fixing the stamped layer on the inside with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow).

Next I used more liquid glue to attach the die-cut Frosted Frames piece to the front of the card. To finish I mounted the sentiment piece to the centre of the frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

It’s no secret that I love blue and white as a colour combination. Today though I added a little additional colour with the painted leaves and berries. I love how the finished project looks, but what do you think?
