Frosted designs " Embossing"

Good morning all, 

Hope you are all enjoying your friday?

 I just came back from my daily swim in an Olympic pool close by our house. 

As the weather is still nice here in Greece. 

Today's challenge at Frosted designs is embossing. I will be honest, and i think i have mentioned this before me and wet embossing are not good friends. So i decided to use dry embossing. 

This is my take for this week:

I used an embossing folder for the white back ground behind the picture

 and on all the letter of the name Natalia.

This is the daughter of a friend of mine, she will be baptized next week and this will be my gift. 

I also made the invitations and party favors but i will share them with you next week after the baptism.   

You cant see it very well on the picture below but i first painted the lantern with " pink raspberry  distress ink and after added  the crackle accents over it. 

I made a matching card with the gift, also the white back ground behind the crown is embossed. 

This is the ending result of the layout. I framed it and added a crown on each side.

So you have 2 weeks to add your project to the Frosted designs blog.

Thank you for stopping by, i wish you all a very nice weekend!

Get creative Card Sketch!

Good morning all, 

It's already the 20th of September today, that means a new card sketch at Get creative.

This is my card:

The sketch:

I received a very nice stamp set from  a friend of mine a few weeks ago. 

With lots of nice vintage stamps to add to my collection. I love them!

All stamps are colored with copic markers and i layered them on some nice card stock and paper.

On the picture below you can see the layering, a little bit. 

So hop over to Get creative and add your card to the side bar. 

You have until the end of the month to enter your card.

Good luck and have a nice day!

Thank you for stopping by,

Frosted designs " Paper bag card"

Good morning all, 

Today i am going to share a " paper bag card" tutorial. I have been wanting to make this for a while and i thought this would be a good opportunity to share this with you.

I have already started making my Christmas cards, i thought i would 

start it from now so i wont have a Christmas meltdown in November.

 But you can make this card for any style you like.

 For this tutorial you need:

A paper bag

Paper

Embellishments

Sticky tape or glue

First cut of the handles of the bag

Fold the bag in the middle

Take the measurements of your bag, front, back & the inside.

 The inside needs to be measured 3 times, because of the bottom of the bag. 

Cut your paper according to the measurements that you have taken.

This can vary depending on the size of your paper bag. 

(Front)

 (inside,  times 3x)

After you are done with the above, add a piece of ribbon on the middle of your bag. 

This will hold the card together, because it will be bulky in the middle with 

all the layers of paper you will add in the middle of the card.

Now add sticky tape on all the pieces of paper you have cut.

 I have chosen for sticky tape so it wont come off, you can also use glue if you want. 

Decorate the card as you please!

Don't forget to make a blank card to stick in the right side of

 the card, so you can write your personal wishes.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Thank you for stopping by and have a good day!

Frosted designs: journal cards

Good morning all, 

Hope everybody is enjoying their Friday, TGI right? the weekend is only a few hours away. 

Today's challenge for Frosted designs is : Journal cards!

I kept my layout very CAS ( clean and simple ) nothing like me at all, but to give more attention to the Journal Cards, i wanted to keep it this way.

I have put all pictures on different journal cards.

The little lady in the picture is my little friend Ava- Sophia. Although she is almost 4 years old, we have quit a history together. This child is something else, one time she is really sweet and from one to another we are each others biggest enemies. Let's say we have a love - hate relationship. 

We have our shopping routine, every time i meet up with her mother we are going to the mall, or the center and we try out every accessory you can find. Hat, masks, glasses anything.

So i have collected some pictures. The top and bottom picture are made with my phone so they are not very clear. But for the middle picture i had my camera with me. 

2 nerds in a store right?

 I found these feathers in my stash, and it matches the masks that we are trying on below. 

But for the first time ever she touched me very much!

We were shopping around, but i had to take out my car from the parking because we were going to another store. In panic, ava asks here mother " where is channa? " her mother answered she will meet us in the other store. Ah ok says ava, you know what mommy, i really love Channa. 

hahaha sweet right?

Thanks for stopping by and upload your project at Frosted designs. 

Have a good weekend!
