Framed Frost

It's time again for a fun blog hop featuring products from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalogue! Be sure to click on the link below to hop through the posts by many talented stampers!

This card uses the gorgeous Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper and Silver Foil Sheets with a Purple Posy cardstock base. I was cutting some silver frames using the Heirloom Frames dies for another project and was in the midst of tossing the leftover pieces from outside the frames in my trash bin when I thought, "Wait! These skinny frames will look fantastic on the Feels Like Frost DSP!"

The snowflakes were also cut from the Silver Foil using the Frosted Frames dies.

It may be hard to see but I added some Shimmery Crystal Effects to the trees for a little bit of glam! Such a simple card! All these products are currently for sale on my website for all you Canadians who don't currently have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!

Life is a Beautiful Thing

I am so excited and honoured to be participating in Kylie's Top Ten Winners Blog Hop! I want to thank all of you who voted for me earlier in the month!

Today, I'm sharing a card with a fancy fold! I love fancy folds that can still fit in our regular envelopes and this one fits perfectly!

It's a nice surprise when you open the envelope and see this!

Then you turn it around and see this!

You can write your message on the back of the card!

I was inspired by a card made by a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Debbie Freeman. She used the gorgeous Feels Like Frost paper and made a stunning Christmas card! The theme for Kylie's blog hop is encouragement and I thought that Stampin' Up's Colorful Seasons Stamp Set had some beautiful sentiments! 

Along with the stamp set, the card is made using Merry Merlot & Whisper White cardstock, Come To Gather Designer Series Paper, Copper Foil Sheets, Frosted Frames dies, and our new Copper Delicata Pigment Ink Pad! You can find all of these items in my online store.

The key to having the card fit in a regular envelope is to trim the cardstock base down from the usual 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" to 8 1/4" x 5 1/2". Then you score at 2" and 3" on each side.

Feels Like Frost - Happy Holidays

It's time again for me to participate in Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop! Be sure to hop on through to see all the wonderful creations from around the world!

My card uses my favourite Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper from the new Holiday Catalogue! I recently learned the pleating technique from the lovely Liz Shannon in the UK and thought that this was the perfect time to try it out! This card is a sneak peek from my upcoming Feels Like Frost card class!

I also used the Frosted Frames die set for the snowflakes and the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set for the sentiment. The cardstock I used is Night of Navy and Seaside Spray. The ribbon is the beautiful Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon - love it!

Perennial Essence Abstract Frame Card

Happy September, Everyone! I am thrilled today to be participating in Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlights with demonstrators from around the world!

Please vote for your favourites at http://bit.ly/InternationalHighlightsSept2019VoteForMe

The card I submitted uses the gorgeous Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper matted on Old Olive cardstock and a Blackberry Bliss base. 

I made it kind of abstract using a Silver Foil frame made with the Heirloom Frames Dies & 3D Embossing Folders. I was inspired by a card I saw online by Tammy Fite who did something similar with a frame and the Magnolia Lane suite!

The sentiment is from Woven Heirlooms, stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on Highland Heather cardstock, and punched out with the Classic Label Punch. Add a Silver Foil piece on the back, also punched with the Classic Label Punch and cut in half.

I hope you like it! Please vote for me if you do!
