Three Cards with Frosted Forest Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

Three Cards with Frosted Forest Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

Last Monday on my FB Live, I shared a three cards featuring the Frosted Forest Bundle, an Online Exclusive! This is a fantastic bundle – it includes a stamp set, a set of dies and masks!   Below is the video recording of my live:

Three Cards with theFrosted Forest Bundle by Stampin' Up! with Laura Milligan

Here’s the first card I made – I used the masks and colored in the tree with Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Cajun Craze inks.  I also used the Exposed Brick embossing folder:

A Color Block Card with the Frosted Forest Bundle by Stampin' Up! with Laura Milligan

My second card used the detailed die for the leaves – I cut it out with Peach Pie cardstock and then used one of the Pine Tree masks to add some color – I loved the look of this –  It seemed to take on the look of a realistic tree when the leaves are just starting to change.


A Thank You Card with the Frosted Forest Bundle by Stampin' Up! with Laura Milligan

This card is exactly the same as the one above – I just added more ink to the detailed leaf die.  Which do you prefer?  I like the lighter version, but some of the viewers on my FB Live liked this version:
