Feeling Frosty Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello! It's Rachel here and I have a fun double layer shaker card to share with you today featuring the new Feeling Frosty Stamp Set! I love shaker cards and making them double layered adds twice the fun because it adds room for some dimension.

The Feeling Frosty Set is filled with the cutest snowmen! I started my card by stamping my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and coloring them with Copies. I used the coordinating Feeling Frosty Dies to cut them out. For my background, I trimmed a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and blended it with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. I then splattered this piece with some water to give the blending some texture.

Once dry, I then splattered it generously with some diluted Opaque White Paint to resemble falling snow. Once my background was ready, I added a few pine trees and a stitched snow drift using the Woodlands Border Die Set and some white card stock. Since this was my bottom layer, I adhered these pieces with liquid adhesive directly to my ink blended background.

I then liberally added some chunky white glitter to this first layer and used .25" wide 3D Foam Tape and a piece of clear acetate to seal it off. Once this layer was secure, I started to work on my second layer. I added another stitched snow drift to this layer once again using the Woodlands Borders Die. I glued this piece directly to the acetate below it. I also did the same with my snowmen and gift images.

I then repeated the same process with adding some chunky white glitter, foam tape, and acetate to this second layer. I used less glitter on the second layer so that it wouldn't cover my snowmen too much when laying flat.

To finish off my card, I added a thin white white frame to which I had attached a gorgeous frame of garland in white using the new Christmas Garland Frame Die. I love the final effect!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today! If you want a good video tutorial for this type of technique, check out THIS video by Jennifer McGuire. Have a lovely weekend!

It's Friday and I wish you all a crafty weekend ahead! Candice here and can I tell you how excited I am to be sharing my first official post with you on the Sunny Studio's Design Team?!  Just look at how cute this new Holiday release is!

I truly love how Sunny Studio stamps sets can easily be combined!  For this card, I used:

• Feeling Frosty stamp set
• Feeling Frosty coordinating dies
• Scenic Route stamp set
• Scenic Route coordinating dies
• Fall Kiddos stamp set
• Fall Kiddos coordinating dies
• Layered Snowflake Frame die (snowflakes)
• Woodland Borders die (snowhills)
• Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper

I began my card by creating an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which fits perfectly into the size 9A envelopes.

I first stamped the snowmen, houses & kiddos, colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies listed above for each set. I then heat embossed the sentiment in silver and trimmed to a banner.

For the background, I inked the sky using peacock feathers, tumbled glass & shabby shutters, gluing the houses right at the green glow. Next, I created my snowhills from the AMAZING new Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper.  I know I will be going back to this pack often, so many possibilities with this set!

To put the card together, I layered the snowhills and pop dotted the images along them, adding the sentiment along the bottom. For the final touch, I added a bit of sparkle with some glitter snowflakes.
