We’re on day 2 of our featured Online Exclusive bundle from Stampin’ Up! called Frosted Forest. The full bundle includes photopolymer stamps, coordinating dies, and decorative masks. And today, we’re keeping it pretty simple, much like yesterday, because you really don’t have to put much with this bundle to make eye-popping cards.
We get started on our card today with a base of Early Espresso cardstock. Our focal panel is a sheet of white cardstock diecut using the largest Deckled Rectangles die. The evergreen trees from the Frosted Forest stamp set are offset on the right. I combined both the large and small tree to create the focal image section. The trees are “colored” using the decorative masks with a combination of Shaded Spruce, Old Olive, and Garden Green inks. To give the look of falling leaves or snow, depending on your perspective, I chose the small detail stamp from the In the Grove stamp set and filled in around the trees in Gray Granite ink using the stamp-off method so that my images weren’t super crisp. I diecut a piece of Gold Mercury vellum to serve as the backdrop for the sentiment to ensure that it stood out from the scene. The sentiment from So Sincere is stamped in Versamark and then heat embossed using black embossing powder and then diecut with the longest banner die from the Happy Little Things set using the die extension method. The sentiment is adhered to the vellum panel with dimensionals and the full panel is set apart with a strip of gold trim. To add some sparkle and draw the eye across the design diagonally, I added some neutrals sequins.
Tomorrow we’re going to kick things up a notch with more product pairing. I hop you’ll pop by and check it out!
