Diecut - and emboss - the new Winter Tree Oval Frame for fall. The diecut creates a bright backdrop for the Cool Cat and the embossed swirlies add a creepy, mysterious look. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a Halloween design featuring a frame set that's quickly becoming a new favorite.
Cut the tree oval from dark brown cardstock. Cut the outer frame from dark kraft cardstock that matches the top-folded A-2 card.
Cut a watercolor paper moon with the ¾" Circle Basics die. Cut Cool Cat from black glittered craft foam.
Paint watercolor paper with watery, overlapping layers of Kaleidacolor dye ink refills. Dry the inks. Diecut it with the outer frame - we're using just the inner oval here.
Pressure-emboss it with the tree oval.
Cut accent strips of black cardstock (¾" x 5") and crushed bronze paper (¾" x 3-¾").
Assemble the card and add gold gem stickers.
Enjoy the versatility of the Winter Tree Oval Frame - and think of all the ways you can use the tree oval and outer frame for fall and winter cards. Scatter a few maple leaves below it - and have some swirling around in the background too. When winter arrives - diecut it from frosty white glittered cardstock and replace the leaves with swirling snowflakes.
Big thanks to everyone from last week's HALLOWEEN STASH CARDS class at Impress! We enjoyed special snacks too - thanks to Jenny for the pretzel chips and to Jacky for the Bailey's Chocolate Chip Cookies. We ate, laughed, ate again - and even made 5 cards and a treat wrapper between the snacks and laughter. Thanks to Ann, Shari and Lynne for helping us fill our shopping baskets...again!
