Embossing Paste and Frosted Forest

A few weeks ago I shared a fall themed card using the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks. Check it out here. And now I’m back with a Christmas themed card using Embossing Paste and Frosted Forest. Somehow in all my current and retired stamp sets I don’t seem to have one with evergreen trees. So these masks have definitely been helpful!

For this card I’m using Mossy Meadow as my main colour, with a splash of Crumb Cake to balance it out. To start I created 3 of the smaller trees using Mossy Meadow and a Blending Brush with the first two masks. Then I added some Whisper White using the last mask to give them a snowy look. And for the bigger tree it was basically the same… Mossy Meadow with the first two masks, but then I used the Matte Finish Embossing Paste with the last one. This definitely steps up the snowy look!

Next I fussy cut the large tree… once it was dry of course. You may want to grab your heat tool to help speed up the process. Then I popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. And for my sentiment I used one from the Christmas Labels stamp set with Mossy Meadow ink. Then I used the coordinating die and popped that up with a few more Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off I added a few of the smallest Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Embossing Paste and Frosted Forest

I like a nice simple card like this one. But if you want to add a little something more, you can add a little bit of Mossy Meadow to the edges of the Very Vanilla card front that has the 3 smaller trees.

Either way using Embossing Paste and Frosted Forest Decorative Masks is a great combination! And with the other set of masks in the set, you can use these for just about any season. Check out the fall themed card I made here if you haven’t already.

Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes

I’m seriously getting into my Christmas crafting this week! And not just because I’ll be at a Christmas market next weekend, lol. With Halloween over I can really start getting into the holiday spririt. So I’m pulling out the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes this week.

Since I’m using the evergreen tree masks for this card, my colour combination is pretty obvious; green and brown. And in this case I’m using Shaded Spruce and Crumb Cake. The Shaded Spruce is for my card base and then the Crumb Cake is for the card mat.

On top of that I added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. The sentiment is from the Christmas Labels stamp set stamped with Shaded Spruce ink. Then I stamped the ink splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set around the edges with Crumb Cake ink. On another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock I used a Blending Brush and the 3 evergreen masks to create the smaller evergreen tree in Shaded Spruce. Once that dried I added a layer of glitter using the Wink of Stella Glitterbrush.

To turn this into a tag I used one of the small dies from the Something Fancy set of dies and cut the top corners on an angle. Next I added some of the online exclusive Natural Polka Dot trim and popped up the whole thing with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes

I love using the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes together! They make it so easy to create some great images! I can’t wait to use them again. Maybe with some white ink or embossing paste. There’s also a larger evergreen tree.

There’s also some non-evergreen tree masks in this set. Check out a card I made using those ones here.

Frosted Forest Decorative Masks

With Fall kicking off this weekend I thought it was time to do some crafting with the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks. These are an online exclusive that Stampin’ Up! released over the summer. And when I saw them I thought they’d be great to make some snow covered trees… but also some beautiful, colourful fall trees. I just love all the colours of Fall! Don’t you?!

For this first card I chose Crumb Cake as one of my colours. It works great as a tree trunk! And then my other colour is Crushed Curry. So I have Crushed Curry as my card base. And then I added some Crushed Curry ink to a piece of Basic White cardstock using a Blending Brush to have a little something going on behind my tree.

To create the tree you usually use 3 masks. The first is the tree trunk. Next up is the majority of the leaves on the trees. I used Crushed Curry for this mask. And then instead of using the third mask, I added a little Cherry Cobbler ink around the edges of the Crushed Curry leaves. I love how it turned out!

I framed the tree with some Crumb Cake ink and popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I wrapped some Linen Thread around this piece and the other piece I used the Blending Brush on. On top of that I added a simple “Hello Fall” using the More than Autumn stamp set. “Hello” in Crumb Cake ink and “Fall” in Crushed Curry. Then to finish it all off I added a few of the yellow Faux Glass Dots. I’ll definitely be using these a lot in my Fall crafting.
