Happy Friday!!
Yesterday I shared a card using Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper (you can see it here). This gorgeous paper comes in 6″ x 6″ sheets and after making yesterday’s card, I had a strip of paper left over and used it to make today’s card!

I used Purple Posy cardstock for the base of my card. The next layer is Whisper White that was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. This step is optional but I personally like the added texture. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Very Versailles. It was inked up with Gorgeous Grape and then cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. The Purple Posy layer below it was made using the Layering Ovals Dies. All the supplies I used are listed below in the Supply List and below that, you’ll find the measurements.

Have a great weekend!

When I first saw Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper in the catalog, I knew I’d be ordering it but when it arrived and I opened the package . . . WOW . . . this paper is gorgeous! It’s 6″ x 6 and comes with 48 sheets with 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. It features photographic imagery on one side and a silver foil design on the other side. It really is so pretty!!


Feels Like Frost is also very versatile! I wanted my first cards using this paper to show that it can be used for more than holiday cards. I combined today’s card with Purple Posy and Gorgeous Grape cardstock and the stamp set, Healing Hugs. For someone who loves purple (me, me!!) this card is sure to be loved.

I wanted Highland Heather rhinestones so I took our Basic Rhinestones and colored them with a Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend. Perfectly coordinated! Our Noble Peacock Rhinestones include Gorgeous Grape but using my Stampin’ Blend gave me a lighter shade.
I also wanted the sentiment to pop on the Gorgeous Grape so I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. It was cut out using the Pretty Label Punch.
All of the supplies I used for today’s card can be found below. To place an order, or for more information, click any of the images below to go to the homepage of my Stampin’ Up! online store.

Today’s card might look familiar. I made a very similar card a few weeks ago but made several changes to this “updated” one.
Here’s the first one I made. If you want to check it out, here’s the link to that post.

What are the differences between the two? First, I changed the measurements, just slightly so that less white would show between the panels (I’ve listed the measurements farther down in the post). Today’s card uses the Hammered Metal embossing folder rather than the Mosaic embossing folder. Instead of using the Gathered Leaves Dies, I used our Leaf Punch and embossed them with the Hammered Metal folder. The sentiment was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and layered on a Merry Merlot oval using the Layering Ovals Dies.

Both cards have a cute little bow, made with our Linen Thread. The bows were adhered using just a dot of our Multipurpose Glue. A little of that glue goes a long, long way!
Try taking a card you’ve made before and change it up a bit!
