First Frost Birthday Card

Uncategorized

13 Sep
Hello, Crafters.
I love everything about the Frosted Floral Suite, and like 
the Santa’s Workshop Designer Series Paper (DSP), I seriously
 under-estimated the DSP!  It’s called Frosted Floral and 
the designs and colours, which are all on a gorgeous
 shimmery white Cardstock (CS), are stunning. 

This suite would make a fantastic all year round suite! The
 stamps are beautifully made to produce shaded images so
 all the hard work is done for us. I chose the DSP before I
 decided on the design of my cards, 
and after that, I found it plain sailing.  
The colours in the DSP are Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaroon
 and Tranquil Tide, so I chose Berry Burst and Tranquil Tide
 as my colour scheme for the image. I don’t see this stamp 
set as a Christmas set so I made my card a birthday card,
 with a sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings.
  At first I was planning on three identical sentiments using
 Tranquil Tide,  Berry Burst and Mint Macaroon. After I had
 created them, it was obvious it was going to be rather
 over-crowded so the Mint Macaroon banner bit the dust! 

For the frame, I used the largest Stitched Shape Oval Die,
 but it was just a tad too small for the branch of leaves image, 
so I snipped the last piece off, and then cut a slight
 curve to finish off the end.

 I adhered the Whisper White CS oval onto a scalloped 
oval in Tranquil Tide, and then I adhered the branch
 with the leaves using Mini Dimensionals. I had stamped
 and die cut four “thistles”, but decided I only had
 room for three with the banners. 

The stems were quite long so I cut them down quite
 considerably and tucked them under the branch.I used 
the fourth “thistle” to decorate the inside of my card. 
The card base is Mint Macaroon, with a layer of Tranquil
 Tide and a top layer of the Frosted Floral DSP on the front,
 and Whisper White on the inside. The ribbon I wrapped
 around the middle is the Berry Burst Mini Ruffled ribbon.
 I finished off the front of the card by adding some 
Basic Pearls at the base of each Thistle, plus where the 
two banners meet. I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project;
 I certainly enjoyed creating it. 

Hubby has two days off work, so today we are going down 
to Brighton which is on the sunny, south coast. Tomorrow,
 I’ll give you a quick rundown on what we did, where
 we went, and what we saw! ☺ 
I hope you have a lovely day, and until tomorrow, happy crafting.
JanB.

    This could quite possibly be my favourite in the Holiday Catalogue; the whole suite. Love what you've done with your card this morning, Jan. It's gorgeous! Aren't the colours just delicious too?

      Hi, Geraldine. I have to confess that I wasn't taken with Tranquil Tide, or Shaded Spruce when they first came out, but now I love them both! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
