Using the ‘ground’ image from the Garden Meadow stamp set, I stamped under the tree. I also added the small group of flowers. The flowers were coloured with the Flirty Flamingo Blends Pens. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

Frosted Forest Autumnal Swap Cards – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing the frosted forest Autumnal swaps I designed for our recent training session in Lincoln.

Colours in these cards are:

 

To recreate the frosted forest Autumnal swaps, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅞” by 2”
Pecan Pie card – 5⅞” by ⅛”
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”

 

I embossed the panel of Cherry Cobbler card using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders selection. This was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

The thin strip of Pecan Pie card was then glued in place butted up against the embossed panel.

Using the Countryside Corner Dies I die cut a label from the 5” by 3 ½” piece of Basic White card. The large tree image was inked up with Copper Clay ink and stamped it onto the die cut label.

I placed the 1st mask in position and added Pecan Pie ink using a Sponge Dauber. With the 2nd mask in position, I randomly added Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler ink to the image.

With the 3rd mask, I started by adding Copper Enamel Effects using a Palette Knife. I absolutely loved the effect but doing more than 2 or 3 at a time became a pain as the enamel effects started to dry on the mask and became more difficult to clean. So, after a bit of thought I switched plans and started adding Versamark ink with a sponge dauber. I removed the mask, covered the image with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it.

Today I am sharing cards I made for the July Christmas Stampathon. The theme this month is ‘red, green & cream’. I have made my cards using the Forever Forest stamp set and the Nested Essential Dies.

Colours used in these cards are:

 

To recreate the forever forest card you will need:

Shaded Spruce card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside

Using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, I embossed one of the pieces of Very Vanilla card. A piece of retired Cherry Cobbler Twine was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using some of our online exclusive offerings. I have made my Autumnal thank you card using the Frosted Forest Stamp set and co-ordinating Dies to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the autumnal tree card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Meandering Meadows dsp – 5⅞” by 1½”
Pecan Pie card – 5⅞” by ⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3¼”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I glued the piece of Meandering Meadows dsp to the front of the Thick Basic White card base. The strip of Pecan Pie card was added, next to the dep strip.

Using the Countryside Corners Dies I a cut a label from the 4¾” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card.

The large tree image was stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto a scrap piece of Basic White card.

I placed Mask 1 over the stamped tree and added Pecan Pie ink to the trunk and branches of the tree. Mask 2 placed next and I lightly added Old Olive ink, with a Blending Brush, to parts of the tree canopy.  Lastly, using Blending Brushes, I added Cajun Craze used to some of the remaining uncoloured areas and Cherry Cobbler to the remainder.

The final Mask, number 3 was then placed in position. I squeezed some of the Gold Metallic Enamel Effects onto the Mask and used a Spatula to scrap the gold over the mask and into the negative space. The mask was then removed and the panel allowed to dry. The mask and spatula were then washed with warm water to remove the Enamel Effects. When it was dry I die cut the tree using the Frosted Forest Dies.

The ‘ground’ image from the Garden Meadow stamp set was stamped onto the die cut label in Old Olive ink. The die cut tree was then glued in position and the label was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink and a gold bird added to complete the card.
