Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper

Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper

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.  If you have questions about products you’re considering purchasing or ones you’ve already purchased, I’m just an email away (click the Email Me button on the sidebar of my blog).

New Hammered Metal Embossing Folder

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.

Come to Gather Designer Series Paper

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. 

Hammered Metal Stampin Up

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!

Stampin’ Up! Pumpkins & Leaves

Happy Monday! 

Today I have a card featuring several products from the Come to Gather Suite:  Gathered Leaves Dies, Gather Together stamp set and Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. To see all the products in this suite, click here

Come to Gather Suite

Wow, I really love the Gathered Leaves Dies! As I mentioned last week, to really make the leaves POP, I spritzed the cardstock with a small amount of water before cutting the leaves out.  It really makes a big difference when you do this step! 

This Designer Series Paper coordinates beautifully with Pretty Peacock and Mint Macaron cardstock.  I used these two color for the leaves as well as the base and first layer of the card. My sentiment was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink and cut out with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. The Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels add the finishing touch.  If you’d like to make today’s card, you’ll find the measurements below the supply list.

Come to Gather Thank You

Very Versailles Stamp Set

Happy Friday!

Today’s card features Come to Gather Designer Series Paper and the Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder.  

Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder

Come to Gather Designer Series Paper

 

The base of the card is Merry Merlot cardstock and I added another layer of Merry Merlot, embossed with our Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder.  

To achieve the very best results when using our new style of 3D Embossing Folders, I used our 3D Embossing Folder Plate . This plate replaces the standard cutting plates when using the 3D folders but you’ll use the regular cutting plates for all other embossing folders. This is the sandwich you’ll use when using a 3D folder and the 3D Embossing Folder Plate: 

  • Embossing Machine Platform
  • Embossing Folder with cardstock inside
  • 3D Embossing Folder Plate

You won’t find this plate in a current catalog but you can find it in my online store here or by clicking the image of the plate below. If you have any questions, please reach out to me! 

3D Embossing Folder Plate

Mosaic Embossing Folder

Let’s get back to my card! The piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper is layered with Cajun Craze cardstock, two colors I wouldn’t have paired together had I not seen how beautiful these colors are in this paper! This layer has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. 

The sentiment is from the stamp set, Very Versailles, and it was cut out with a 1″ Circle Punch.  I tend to primarily use Whisper White cardstock but for today’s card, I used Very Vanilla when stamping the sentiment. It sits on a layer of Merry Merlot cardstock that was cut using the 1-1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and a Cajun Craze layer using the 1-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch.  If you’d like to make today’s card, I’ve included the measurements below the supply list!
