Layered Snowflake Frame Cards with Candice and Rachel

Hi everyone, it's Candice here. This new Layered Snowflake Frame die set is amazing for it's perfect size for me to create two frames on one card! I am loving the effect and thinking of all the different scenes I could put into them!  

I used a few sets from the new holiday release:

• Layered Snowflake Frame dies
• Feeling Frosty stamp set & coordinating dies
• Scenic Route stamp set & coordinating dies
• Season's Greetings stamp set
• Sweet Treat Bag dies (banner)
• white pearls

I began with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which fits wonderfully into the size 9A envelopes. To create the double snowflake frames, I cut close to the edges leaving enough space in the center for my sentiment. I then worked on creating the layers inside the frames by first creating the sky by blending shaded lilac & spun sugar and splattered with diluted white paint.

Next, I stamped one each of the hillside and houses, colored with Copic markers, die cut out using the coordinating dies and cut in half. I then stamped the adorable snowmen, colored them with the Copics, and used the coordinating dies to cut out. I layered them using foam tape and in the top areas I doubled up on the foam tape to give it three layers and lots of dimension.

To finish off the card, I added my bold sentiment by first creating my banner from the handle in the Sweet Treat Bag die. I heat embossed the Season's in white and blended with shaded lilac & spun sugar. Next, I die cut the wishes from green foil paper and multiples from white scraps and layered for a thick sturdy piece. For my finishing touches, I added a snowflake covered in sparkle and a few white pearls.

Thank you for visiting today!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Hello everyone! It's Rachel here and I have a fun example to show you of another way that you can use the new Layered Snowflake Frame Die Set. It's the perfect size to frame the opening of a shadow box card!

My shadow box measures at 6.25" x 4.5" when folded flat and fits perfectly into a standard A6 sized envelope. I used a piece of Kraft Card Stock for the front and back portions of my card and used the Layered Snowflake Frame Die to cut a window into the front of one panel. I then used a White Gel Pen to color over some of the flakes to make them look like they're covered with snow. I also added some stitched snow drifts by using the Woodland Borders Dies and some White Card Stock.

I stamped all of my images from the new Merry Mice Stamp Set with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored with Copics, and used the coordinating Merry Mice Dies to cut them out. Before putting my card together, I blended a pink background sky by blending some Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a sheet of Black Card Stock and then trimmed it down to size.

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today! Have a wonderful weekend!
