Feels Like Frost Note

Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper

Today’s card uses another design from our Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper.  I think everyone loves it because it’s currently on backorder but should be back in stock next week. You can still add it your order and when it’s back in stock, it will ship separately.

When using this paper for the first time, my goal was to see what I could make with it that wasn’t about the holidays. If you missed my other cards using this paper, you can see them here, here and here

 

The base of my card is Night of Navy and I combined it with Seaside Spray, one of our new In Colors this year. I used our Hammered Metal Embossing Folder to create the texture on the Seaside Spray cardstock. The Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper was cut out using our Stitched Shapes Dies.  The Night of Navy scalloped square was created using our Layering Squares Dies.  These two sets of dies coordinate perfectly together! The sentiment was stamped in Seaside Spray onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies.  The Night of Navy scalloped oval was also cut out using these dies.

All the products I used can be found in the Supply List below.

Feels Like Frost & Purple Posy

Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper

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! 

 

Feels Like Frost

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.

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.

Baby Wipe Technique Using Merry Merlot & Crushed Curry

I had such a positive response to my card using the Baby Wipe Technique that I decided to make another one! If you missed yesterday’s post using this technique, which also includes a video, click here.

To create the leaves on today’s card I used two ink refill colors, Merry Merlot and Crushed Curry along with the stamp set, Colorful Seasons.  This technique uses several folded baby wipes with drops of your favorite ink which then becomes your stamp pad. It’s really fun and once you get started, you can’t stop! 

After making the first card, above, I decided to make another one while my “stamp pad” was juicy.  The second one is more muted but still so pretty! 

Merry Merlot Crushed Curry Baby Wipe Technique

I used the stamp set, Free as a Bird, for the sentiment with Merry Merlot ink.  I wanted a small sentiment because I didn’t want to cover the beautiful leaves! The sentiment on the first card was placed up near the top to cover a leaf that didn’t get completed stamped.  I didn’t want to waste my masterpiece so did the next best thing – I covered it up! 

Here’s a side by side comparison of the two cards.  

 

I hope you give this technique a try!

Baby Wipe Technique Using Fall Colors

Today’s card was made using the Baby Wipe Technique (I also have a video).  This technique is super easy and lots of fun! You’ll need baby wipes and our ink refills (I also refer to them as reinkers in the video). I used Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry.

Ink Refills Baby Wipe Technique

 

The leaf stamp is from Colorful Seasons and because I needed a small sentiment, I used the To Every Season stamp set.  The base of the card is Pumpkin Pie with another layer of Cajun Craze.  

To cut out the sentiment, I used these punches (click the images in the supply list below for more information about the punches):

  • Sentiment:  1″ Circle Punch
  • Pumpkin Pie layer:  1-1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch
  • Cajun Craze layer:  1-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch

 

Give this technique a try! I think you’ll really enjoy it!
