Hello my friends! I hope you're enjoying a fabulous early fall weekend. Today a few of the Papertrey Ink designers are sharing extra products with you, created using the darling, new Very Merry stamp set. This one is so playful and full of personality!
I began by die cutting my frame using Stormy Sea cardstock and the Mix & Mat: Berry Boughs die. I created a frosty outer look by dipping my edges into heavy embossing ink from Wow! ...love this stuff because it is thick and extra slow drying. I then coated the ink -dipped edges in Shabby Green Embossing Enamel from Stampendous...also very heavy and chunky and once heated, it gives a lovely appearance.
Next, I stamped my multiple-step tree and decorations on the center of my frame using images from the Very Merry stamp set. I stamped in a variety of shades of blue and green. I chose a sentiment to stamp across the bottom from the Keep it Simple: Winter Wishes stamp set and embellished with twine and sequins from the fun Holiday Tag Along Kit. I have all of the Papertrey Ink supplies linked for you below.
More to come tomorrow. Enjoy your day!

What a cool frame - sure would be helpful to see a video of this process. Maybe like an early Christmas present? This is very beautiful and classy looking.

This card is stunning with its use of color. The embossed edges are just a lovely extra. Now, I'll have to look for the heavy embossing ink! Have a great weekend, Melis.
