Frosted Forest Decorative Masks

What a stately tree! This handmade card uses the online exclusive, Frosted Forest Bundle #164137. This bundle contains a stamp set, coordinating dies and a decorative mask (stencil.) Because this bundle has MORE parts, it offers MORE ways to be creative. This tree uses ONLY the masks. The grass is the pine tree stamp image.

TIP: before you remove the leaf mask, splatter the tree with a dark green marker! This adds another layer of interest.

Voted Best Swap

Alphabet A La Mode Dies #160750

At our recent Midwest North Star Stamper Gathering, we voted on the best swap. It was a difficult decision because we had outstanding swap cards made by the attendees. The winner was Shari Bocker, 20 year demonstrator!! CONGRATS to Shari who received a NEW Holiday sentiment stamp set for her clever creation!!

 

#162741 Garden Meadow Bundle

Shari used the adorable online exclusive, Garden Meadow Bundle #162741. Her use of the Country Woods 12X12" Designer Series Paper #163393 is SO UNIQUE! She used the multi-colored rustic wood planks sheet and cut into 1/4" strips and staggered when attaching. This technique is BARGELLO, similar to the quilt technique by the same name. SO FUN!!

Scrap Card

Aren't these cards made of scraps cute? They feature scraps from the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortment #163777 .

 

6X6 Designer Series Paper Assortments

I LOVE the 6X6" Designer Series Papers for envelope flaps. Therefore, scraps accumulate!! That's a great opportunity it make some cute SCRAP CARDS!!

 

Paper Scraps for cards

These strips are cut 1/2" wide and vary in length. Start near the middle of a 4 X 5-1/4" piece of Basic White Card Stock. Attach the first strip at any angle, then build random strips parallel on one side and perpendicular on the other side of the first strip. Flip the white cardstock and cut off excess beyond the edges. Add any sentiment.

 

Use scraps for cards

 

Try this scrap card with any designer papers. If you use just one designer paper package, the colors will flow nicely. This is fun and easy. TRY IT!!
