Festive New Years Card with Frosted Medallions

Today I wanted to share another card from my Stamp & Share event which shows off a fun other color palette –

I used them with the new Frosted Medallions stamp set to create a pretty card that can be used for the winter holidays.

Most of this card is pretty straightforward, but the one piece that you may not recognize is the pinky/purple patterned strip on the left side of the card. That is actually the Fancy Frost specialty paper from the holiday catalog. Now, if you are like me, I thought when it said the paper was embossed that it was a glossy embossing for emboss resist projects. But NOPE! It is dry embossed in 6 different patterns, so the pattern is raised up from the paper. So you can either leave it as is, or you can do like I did and color it in with a sponge or sponge brayer. It tends to color all of the paper, but the raised pattern comes out darker than the rest of the paper. Fun, huh?!

I mixed in some of the super popular new glitter ribbon (you get Silver and Sweet Sugarplum in the pack) to peak out from underneath my sentiment. And then just a few of the new Fancy Frost sequins attached with some glue dots for just a touch of glitz.

Then, let the large snowflake from the stamp set as your centerpiece and when you use a light ink like the Soft Sky, you can layer your sentiment right over the top!

I started offering my Holiday Catalog product samplers last week and thank you to everyone who already let me know you were in! As I got the set of supplies in for the first orders, I decided to put together a video to share what all the products are that you’ll find in the product samplers, plus extra project ideas at the end where I share some of the holiday catalog stamp sets and cards and projects that you can make with them!
