Rick Adkins : photorealistic paper

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a little card I made using the Frosted Foliage Bundle. I also used the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper; which has sold out. But I had made this card before it had sold out. The Year-End Closeout sale kicked off yesterday and the Frosted Foliage Bundle is listed in the sale. So If you haven't gotten this stamp set you may want to add it to your next order before it's gone. All the items on the Year-End Closeout as most products in the mini catalogs are while supplies last. Here's a look at my project for today.

Tips & Tricks:

Spread a little yuletide cheer with beautiful Christmas cards and projects made using the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set. The delicate images and warm sentiments will light up the season for those you love. The Frosted Foliage Bundle includes the Frosted Foliage Cling Stamp Set and the Frosted Frames Dies. Frosted Frames Dies are used to create custom winter and Christmas die-cut frames in record time, just like I did with my card today. I started off with a piece of Seaside Spray Cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. After I folded and burnished the card base I cut down a piece of the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper to 5 1/4 x 4 and layered it onto a piece of whisper white cardstock cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8. Before layering I die cut one of the frames from the die set from the middle of the whisper white, along with some snowflakes.

After doing all my die cuts and saving a little paper I added the designer series paper using a little liquid glue. I then used my fine tip glue pen and applied it all over the snowflakes. While the glue was still wet I added some of the Ice Stampin' Glitter to each. I then set them aside to dry. While drying I added two strips of tear & tape to the bottom third of the card and placed a couple strips of the Seaside Spray 1/4" Metallic Ribbon.

I then added the sentiment on Stampin' Dimensionals over the ribbon. At this point the snowflakes where dry so I could add them to the card. I added them each with a little liquid glue. To finish off the card I added a few rhinestones to add just a little bling. I added five snowflakes total; you all know if you follow me I believe in the rule of odds. Which says odd numbers always look better.

Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you have a wonderful day. Remember that the designer series paper is out of stock, and the Frosted Foliage bundle is on the Year-End Closeout so get it while you can.

Happy Stampin'
