FROSTED FOREST SYMPATHY

 FROSTED FOREST SYMPATHY 



HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

  1. Okay, where to start?  Let’s start with the tree masking layer.  
    1. Place the white cardstock on your workspace and use a piece of washi tape to hold it in place your mat.
    2. Using the espresso ink, stamp your tree outline.
    3. Set the #1 mask down lining the trunk over the outline you just stamped.  Mark the notch on your workspace so that you can set the subsequent ones in the same spot. Ink the tree trunk using the blending brush and either pecan pie or espresso ink.  Remove the mask.
    4. Place Mask #2 over the paper lining up the notch.  Using a new blending brush, ink with this mask using Garden Green. Remove the mask.
    5. Place Mask #3 over the paper lining up the notch.  Using a new blending brush, ink with this mask using Shaded Spruce ink. 
    6. Die cut the tree out and set aside.
  2. On your next piece of white cardstock use a blending brush and espresso ink, de-stress all around the paper,  When happy with how it looks, take the edge of your snips and go all the way around the paper to rough up the edges.  
  3. Take your ribbon and wrap it around the bottom of this piece adhering the ends on the back side.
  4. Adhere the die cut tree on this using dimensionals then set aside.
  5. Take your small scrap of white cardstock, die cut out the shape and then stamp the sentiment inside.  Adhere this using dimensionals over the ribbon and bottom of the tree trunk.
  6. Take the piece of cajun Craze cardstock and run it through the embossing machine in the timber 3D folder. Adhere this at an angle to the card front.
  7. Adhere the piece with the tree  over this on your card front.
  8. Take your linen thread and tie a double bow and adhere using glue dot.
  9. Got the inside of your card, stamp the sentiment and the dove flying away.
  10. A couple of options on your envelope. 
  • Simply emboss the envelope flap in the Timber 3D embossing folder;  easiest option
  • Take one of the stencils of the bare trees and using a blending brush and ink color of your choice, blend over the stencil leaving a silhouette on the front of the card; or
  • You can die cut out the bare trees in Pecan and adhere to your envelope front.  (This option is tough because you don’t want it to get ripped off the envelope when it is mailed. You have to be extremely careful with how you adhere it)

DOTTED CIRCLES EMBOSSED BIRTHDAY

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WOW! Ready or not, 2025 is here!  I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season and may this new year be a healthy and prosperous one.  Here's a playful way to start your new year.

I absolutely fell in love with this card when I saw it online!  It is so fun and colorful. You do need to buy 6" x 6" envelopes elsewhere to be able to mail this card and unfortunately, Stampin' up! does not carry them.  I will be trying this with other colors; maybe different shades of blue for a masculine card? Have fun with it.

DOTTED  CIRCLES  EMBOSSED BIRTHDAY
