I had been playing a lot with the Frosted Forest Bundle.
This card uses some simple colouring by blending over ink on just some of the mask layers. It doesn’t give as much depth as with using all the masks but that’s ok.
The background is using the Sky Is The Limit Paper. It works so well with the tree image.
Add some texture by embossing the white card mat with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
There are so many ways of using the Frosted Forest Bundle and the masks.
Have you tried them yet?
If you need them in your crafting supplies I would love to help you. You can head to my store (check the link in the sidebar bar on my blog). Or contact me directly.

Last days of the 15% Off Paper Sale. This Sky is the Limit Paper is included in this sale which is awesome!
This card is one of the cards we made at our Christmas in July event last weekend. This one uses the Frosted Forest Bundle.
While this bundle does have the masks this card just uses the stamps and dies.
Firstly stamping 3 trees on the white card mat. Basic Beige has a subtle green tinge to it making it work really well with the colour tones on this card. Just a tip: Stamp the centre tree first and then stamp the other 2 either side. That helps them to be more centred.
The larger tree was stamped on Old Olive card in Old Olive ink and then diecut. The sentiment is from the Greetings of the Season stamp set and diecut with one of the dies from the die set.
Adding a little strip of patterned paper adds an extra element to a very simple card. The paper is from the Flowering Zinnias Paper pack.
This is the Greetings of the Season Bundle. There are a variety of greetings for the festive sesason you can put together or use just on there own. They are in 2 different font styles. I particularly like the die shapes. You can use them for any occasion. And they have a stitched edge!! Don’t we like that.
This one is the Golden Greenery Bundle. With traditional images of greenery and bells and berries. There are a number of co-ordinating dies for these too.
These are available as Online Exclusives. They can be ordered online or ordered directly in my store. HERE

I have mentioned the Frosted Forest Bundle before. You most likely have seen it around too.
There are masks that you can layer up the colour using the Blending Brushes. Using the masks to build the colour.
It’s a great one for masculine cards too. This one is a Birthday Wishes one.
The background paper is from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper pack.
The leaf and the words are from the Loveliest Tree stamp set. They work so well together.
This is the Frosted Forest Bundle with the masks below.
The Loveliest Tree Bundle. Does it look familiar?

Sunday Suites. We need to have a look at this gorgeous new Season of Green and Gold Suite.
I mean I’m a green fan so of course I’m going to like it but the leafy green colours are beautiful.
This Suite was just released as part of the new offerings for the Online Exclusives.
This is the Season of Green Suite Collection. There are lots of loveliness in this suite.
The Suite includes:
There are 2 different bundles. You can choose them both or only one of them.
The Golden Greenery Bundle. I particularly like the foliage dies.
The Greetings of the Season Bundle. This one is so versatile. I love the dies in this bundle.
But this paper…
The Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper.
It comes in 12 12″x12″ sheets. 2 of 6 patterns. It has green patterns with glistening gold accents. You really have to see it. The colours in this paper are Garden Green, gold, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Very Vanilla.
There is also the Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper.
It comes in 6 12″x12″ sheets. 2 each of 3 single sided designs. The printed foliage patterns can be used as a layering piece on cards and tags.

We have been talking Online Exclusives. There is another great new Bundle. This one is the Changing Leaves Bundle.
This bundle consists of the Changing Leaves Stamp set, the Dies and the Hybrid Embossing Folder.
The Changing Leaves Stamp set has some lovely sentiments in it. The leaf images give a skeleton detail. The dies will diecut the leaves and there are additional leaves and little sentiment shapes.
The dies can also work with the Embossing Folder. It is a Hybrid folder which means the dies fit the leaf shape that are in the pattern. Run your card piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, and out come die-cut, embossed accents. You can also use the embossing folder without the dies for embossing large pieces or use the dies alone to cut out solid, flat leaves and labels.
It is a great bundle for cards for any occasion but especially those ‘Thinking of You’ and ‘You are special’ type cards with those sentiments.
Let’s check some ideas for this. These are created by Stampin’ Up! Artists.
This one the images are stamped and simply diecut. The White card mat has been embossed with the Embossing Folder.
For this one it appears the card has been given a watercolour wash and then the card embossed and diecut.
You can see the Changing Leaves Bundle in my store -> HERE.
You can view all the great new Online Exclusives Products there too.
If you are in Australia and would love these for your crafting or any of the other amazing products you can stop by my store at the above link

I shared a post recently of a card I CASED from the Annual Catalogue. Head back 2-3 posts back on my blog if you missed it. I thought I would share more of the card here now.
This is the card created copying one from page 53 of the Annual Catalogue.
I have used the Flowers of Beauty Stamps and Dies. I diecut the leafy stem from the Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper which adds a lovely sparkle. You can see that below.
The small flowers were diecut with one of the dies and then some Pretty in Pink Ink dabbed on the edges of the petals.
Don’t forget to use your Catalogue for inspiration when you are stuck. It is a great resource that we overlook.
The Flowers of Beauty are at the moment unavailable which is a shame BUT they will be back very soon. So you can grab your set then. Or if you would like me to let you know when they are back please comment or email me and I can notify you as soon as they are.
If you are in Australia and Need any supplies then you can head to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: 7M7V93KG
Or contact me directly.
Now off you go and grab your catalogue. Have a flick through and see what card inspires you to create.

For one of our cards in our “Beauty Class” last week we played with the Spotlighting technique with the Layers of Beauty.
To create the Spotlighting Technique, firstly stamp the large flower and diecut a circle out in an area on the flower. The Stylish Shapes dies were used for that. Instead of using the masks to colour the flowers on the diecut circle we coloured them with the Stampin’ Blends.
Colouring the background area with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends helps to make the flowers POP. Adding a black circle mat behind the coloured circle part helps to make it POP too.
During the class while others were working on their projects I created a different version of the card by turning the card the other way.
This one has added sparkle too with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper.
Here is a close-up of the Spotlight area.
What do you think? Maybe try the Spotlighting Technique yourself.
The Layers of Beauty is a lovely bundle. For this one I have only used the Stamps which work so well in themselves.
You can see the full bundle in my store -> HERE. BONUS – They are 10% off this month which is awesome!
If you are in Australia you can shop for them directly there if you would like to add them to your crafty supplies. OR Contact me and I can help you out.
