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.

Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks

The new Abundant Beauty decorative masks were one of the first things that caught my eye in the new mini catalogue! I don’t use decorative masks often, but I’m hoping the designs in this pack will change that.

For this card design I’m using one of the fall designs and some Sponge Daubers. You can use Blending Brushes with decorative masks too, but when the images are small like these ones I prefer to use daubers. I used Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat inks to create this colourful piece of cardstock.

The card base is Wild Wheat and I wrapped some Linen Thread around the sponged cardstock. On top of that I layered some leaves and a sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set. I stamped the leaves with Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze ink and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. But for the sentiment I used Wild Wheat ink and one of the Something Fancy dies. Then I popped these all up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. And to finish it off I added a few of the Brushed Metallic Dots.

Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks

I love the Abundant Beauty decorative masks! And I can’t wait to use the sunflower and snowflake masks.
