Artisan Design Team December Blog hop

in Artisan Design Team 2018, Cardmaking, Creativity on 12/20/18

The time has finally come for our last Artisan Design Team blog Hop.  This year has gone by so fast.  It is such a bitter sweet moment.  So many memories.  We’ve created with specific Stampin’up! Products and it was so much fun to see all the different looks and creations.  But my favorite part was behind the scenes. We’ve shared so much from all across the globe.  We’ve laughed and cried and lent a virtual hand to those that have had hardship and challenges!

The 2018 Artisan Design Team was the bomb! I’m going to miss these ladies…. I’ve loved this amazing experience.

Today, we are showcasing the First Frost Stamp Set and coordinating Frosted Bouquet Framelits Dies and it’s coordinating accessories. So many goodies to showcase today! See the sneak peek below.

You may have just arrived here from my wonderful and talented friend Kayla MacAulay from Australia. I adore her projects for today’s Hop!

Today I’m featuring 3 cards with the First Frost Collection. I’ve used products from the Holiday Catalogue as well as products from the Annual catalogue.  This beautiful collection blends with so many products.  I wanted a shabby chic look for my cards.

  • The Layered Leaves Textured Impressions Embossing Folder blends beautifully with the Frost Floral Collection.
  • Add Pearlized Doilies and the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon for a Shabby Chic Look.
  • The coordinating  Frosted Floral DSP adds beautiful colours to the card.  It’s texture is fabulous and shinny.

Tip #1:  The Frosted Floral Stamp Set is perfect to create your own DSP.  Stamp randomly images from the stamp set with different ink colors.

My ink combination for my collection today:

Fresh Fig
Mossy Meadow
Blackberry Bliss
Blushing Bride

Tip #2:  The Irisdescent Boxwood Wreaths Embellishments are perfect to add that extra bling to your creations.  I opened the wreaths and cut small pieces to create iridescent frosted floral pieces as extra embellishments to my cards.

Next on the hop is my sweet friend Lauren Alarid from the United States.  I love all her cards.   Click on the Blog Badge below to get to her blog.

    Love the colour combo you’ve used on these. One of them reminds me of the wallpaper in my Grandparent’s house – in a good way! Lol. Happy memories. Also, just want to say, thanks for the privilege of working alongside you this year. I’ve loved seeing all you’ve created and I’m so honoured to call you friend. xoxox
