Feels Like Frost

I decided to make a start on my Christmas cards and selected the beautiful 6″ by 6″ Feels Like Frost DSP to help me. This paper was brought out last year but due to its popularity , it has returned. And it’s easy to see why it was so popular.

I cut off a slice and matted it in pretty peacock and mounted that on a thick whisper white card base. All the card needed then was a sentiment. I used the Poinsettia Petals since it had a nice looking long Merry Christmas which fit perfectly.

Next I took the piece remaining of the DSP and turned it over.

This I matted with silver foil and then heat embossed the same sentiment from Poinsettia Petals in silver. This came together really quickly and I’m pleased to have started my Christmas cards.

I’ll create a virtual card class so you can start too.

Forever Fern Bundle

This week I’m showcasing the Forever Fern bundle and here I’m using both the stamp set and the dies.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Forever Fern bundle - Peaceful Moments - stitched shapes framelits dies

I stamped a selection of the stamps still using just Pretty Peacock and Gorgeous Grape and then die cut them using the Forever Flourishing dies which is part of the Forever Fern bundle.

I arranged them so that their stalks would be hidden by the sentiment and then glued them down with the multipurpose liquid glue. Using the Peaceful Moments stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in gorgeous grape and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies.

I’ll be demonstrating this card plus two others later today at 11am EST on Facebook. Come and join me! Place a $25 order and I’ll send you the card kit to make these.

Forever Fern

This week I’m showcasing the Forever Fern bundle although I only used the stamps again today. I decided to make my own DSP for this card. 

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Forever Fern - Peaceful Moments

Using Pretty Peacock and just one of the stamps, I created a background for my card. I then matted it in Pretty Peacock and mounted it on a thick whisper white card base. The sentiment comes from Peaceful Moments and is stamped in Pretty Peacock and cut out with the Stitched so Sweetly dies and popped up with dimensionals.

I’ll be demonstrating this card plus two others on Sunday at 11am EST on Facebook. Come and join me! Place a $25 order and I’ll send you the card kit to make these.

Forever Fern

This week I’m showcasing the Forever Fern bundle although I only used the stamps today. I decided to use the same colours for all of this week’s cards in case you don’t have the full set and you want to replicate them exactly.

Using Pretty Peacock and Gorgeous Grape I stamped my two main images and then filled in with the speckles. I glued this to a Gorgeous Grape card base. The sentiment also comes from Forever Fern and is stamped in Gorgeous Grape and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and popped up with dimensional.

It’s a very simple card, quick to reproduce and, I think, quite elegant. Let me know what you think.

Queen Anne’s Lace

Here’s the third card this week using the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set. I’ll be doing a Facebook Live today, Sunday at 11am EST as usual to demonstrate the three cards.

Here I used Pacific Point for my cardstock and heat embossed the stamps in silver, including the sentiment. I added a silver foil mat and left a large border of the pacific point. To create the banner, I used the triple banner punch and then popped it up with dimensionals.
