Feels Like Frost Acetate Tent Card #2

Oh it had to be done! 

Back to my original idea... with the piece of Feels Like Frost paper that I wish I could just buy a whole 48 sheet pack of...

Just changed up the Mossy Meadow to Pretty Peacock for the stamping of this version... yum! 

Though interestingly virtually everyone - who saw the card in the flesh - thought that the previous version had been stamped in gold ( rather than  Mossy Meadow)

Oh and an In the Woods die cut snow curve at the top instead of the Seasonal Layers scallop top

Simply perfect!

Feels Like Frost Acetate Tent Card for Fun & Fancy Fold Friday

Knew I had to create an Acetate Tent card the minute I saw the beautiful wintery scene papers in the Feels Like Frost paper pack...

Just don't know why it took me so long to get around to actually making it!!

And here is the original purple snowflake version Jill!!! Which I had to quickly remove as it appears that I just can't do with purple snowflakes... even though they co-ordinated beautifully....

And I did initially mean to use the other scenic piece of paper in the pack... but I had already used it!

Ooh... something else to share that I thought I had already!! Tomorrow then....

Lots of lovely Stampin Up ! products used in the making of this card... including Dashing Deer, Winter Woods and Greatest Part of Christmas stamps with Frosted Frames, Detailed Deer, Seasonal Layers and In The Woods dies... and Feels Like Frost papers (now out of stock in Europe!)

Tuesday Tutorial - Feels Like Frost Gap & Scrap cards

Another Feels Like Frost & Frosted Foliage card for you... check out the shiny foiled side of these papers!

But be warned... as I am loving this card! It is just a perfect format with these beautiful Frosted Frames die cuts...

And as promised... one tutorial... but for 2 cards...

So I am calling this a "Gap card"... as

(1) I just think that just sums it up...

And (2) Gap just happens to rhyme with Scrap...

Which is what I called this co-ordinating card I shared yesterday... as that is just created with the paper scrap left from my Gap card...

Though I know there are other names for this card fold out there... such as Split Panel card ... Floating Card (though the more recent  Floating Die Cut Frame card or abbreviated Floating Frame card or Floating card or has kind of taken over for that name)... as well as Gap card... 

And so onto the Tutorial for you... photos from a remake going on behind the scenes for my non Christmas classes this week! Hence the change in colours and papers... and the front panel! Sorry for any confusion that causes!!! But I thought best to share with photos than without...

Merry Monday - Feels Like Frost Scrap Card

Yes this is a card made from some of my Feels Like Frost paper scraps...

But more on that later this week!

Though hopefully tomorrow...

With a Tuesday Tutorial for 2 great cards... as I do love it when lots of cuts creates 2 cards!

In the meantime... card dressed using the Frosted Frames dies (Silver Foil leaves, Seaside Spray & White snowflakes & seedhead)... and a Frosted Foliage sentiment stamped in the new Delicata Silver ink... 

Simple Saturday - Feels Like Frost duo for all year round use.....

Loving these Feels Like Frost papers in the purples... hope you do too!

And who said these papers were just for Christmas... I think this one (and others) can even look summer-y...

So an incredibly simple little duo of cards for you... one for christmas ...and one for a birthday (but that could be used for any occasion... And you can get 4 of these from one sheet of the 6x6 paper...

Also featuring the new Ice Stampin Glitter to add the snow like feel to the Christmas version... more realistic as snow! Though less glitter if that is your thing!!

Though please note that this glitter is on back order status at present... so you can order it today and it will follow in due course (but maybe not for much longer as it is close to being unorderable for a little while!)... with supplies expected in w/c 30 September

And the greeting is from Merry Christmas to All.. the perfect size sentiment for that Stitched Rectangles frame...

And Shimmery Crystal Effects to accentuate the seed heads on the birthday card... great small bottle of Crystal Effects... with a lot of gloss and a tiny bit of Shimmer... I also used it on the large snowflake above... so you may able to see the glossy sheen on that close up shot...!

And the greeting is from Itty Bitty Birthdays... a set within which there are lots of perfectly sized sentiments for the Stitched Rectangles frame

And I used the new 1/4" Metallic Seaside Spray Ribbon... which I found much easier to use to tie a bow than normal!

And don't miss the rest of this Suite... snowflakes and leaves simply cut using the Frosted Frames dies...

Though note that the papers were unorderable (as predicted) ... but more came in on Thursday... so hopefully there are still some left for you!! Though I predict these goin unorderable again sometime soon...
