Feels Like Frost

Here in Oregon we are getting frosty weather.  Seems a little early to us, but we've only had one winter here, and last year, we are told, was quite mild.  So maybe the cold is normal, but it's definitely sweater (and jacket!) weather!

So maybe that's what made me pull out the Feels Like Frost patterned paper to make some thank-you cards.  I love the pretty photos on one side and the silver-touched patterns on the reverse.  


 The fold of this card is a little different.  The card base is cut 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4", but then I lopped off 1-1/4" from the front panel.  This allowed me to carry over the pretty paper on the front to the inside.


The patterned paper was cut 2-7/8" x 5-1/4", and then I moved the paper in the trimmer and cut another 1" so the pattern continues.   And see that border?  The Ornate Layers dies (the largest one) was used, but I only cut along the two longest sides, giving me a pretty border.  This was adhered to the back of the patterned paper, and then the piece was added to the card front.


On the inside, the 1" strip was glued to the right side of the card (lining it up with the piece on the front so the top and bottom are one continuous line).  


I finished with some Adhesive Backed Snowflakes, sprinkled randomly over the front.  


I was so happy with how these turned out that I made a few more!  

Check out Feels Like Frost - a beautiful paper that needs very little else to create a lovely card!

In Good Taste

Why not let the paper do the talking?


The In Good Taste patterned paper has a wonderful sheet that looks like tile.  I used this one and cut some of the squares, layering them on Stitched Shape squares to create the focal point of my card.


The small tiles were cut with Layering Squares, as was the larger one, which was adhered to a scalloped rectangle from the same die set.

The Granny Apple Green layer was embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder, and Old World Paper was used for the white layer.

The greeting, from Ornate Thanks, was stamped with Night of Navy ink.


Isn't this fun?  The Playful Alphabet letters are the perfect size!


Such a pretty thank you card!

New and Never Used

OK, be honest.  How many of you have new stamps, new accessories, new DSP, or new dies, and have not yet used them?

I can't tell you how often I HAVE to get a new product, and then it just sits on my desk...well not today!

The 30-Day Card Challenge that I've been playing along with had an assignment of "New and Never Used", so now is my opportunity to pull out things that have not yet seen the light of day, and USE them!


How cute is that?  😍

So what is new?  Well for starters, the stamp sets.  I was able to procure the Well Dressed stamps during Sale-a-Bration, and had not yet opened them!  😮  And Sale-a-Bration ended the other day, so if you didn't get these stamps, you are out of luck.  But I had to try them, so here they are.


But here's one that you can get today!  The Ornate Thanks set is brand-spankin' new.  It will be in the upcoming Annual Catalog beginning June 1st, but you can get it now!  And I love all the scripty phrases that come with it!  Is this not perfect with the shirt and tie?



But wait!  There's more!  Do you see that fabulous textured Whisper White panel?  That's the Absolutely Argyle embossing folder, part of the Country Club Suite in the January - June 2020 Mini Catalog.


The shirt is made from Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper and the Stitched Nested Labels dies.  I debated on whether or not to put an ink spot at the bottom of the pocket--does anyone remember your dad's pockets "back in the day"?  My dad always had an ink spot on his pocket 😂  That's why they made pocket protectors!

The Balmy Blue layer is embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.

And inside:


The perfect greeting from A Good Man.

I'm having so much fun with these daily challenges.  Pull out some of your supplies that you haven't yet used, and play along!
