Christmas Tag Inspiration with Solange!

Wednesday, December 3, 2014

Hello everybody!
Holiday celebrations are in a few weeks, and that means gifts! I decided to make my own gift tags, but I wanted them quick and cheap (because let's be honest, everybody throw them away...)


I love the look of white embossing powder onto kraft cardstock, but to add more interest, I colored here and there with my fabulous Magicals powders (I mixed some Shabby Turbine Teal with Time Travel Teal and I added a drop of water): in real life, this is so shiny!


Any big holiday stamp with outlined areas would work great. The brown Magical powder of this set (Industrial Chic) would look beautiful for a reindeer!

A Trip to the Zoo + a Tutorial with Lori!

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

Hello and Happy Wednesday!!  
I typically catch up on my son's scrapbook in the fall and winter since our activities slow down. Today I created a two-page scrapbook using our newest kit (We Are Family) and a sketch.  We have an amazing zoo in Omaha, NE.  Our newest attraction is the Sting Ray Pool.  You can pet and feed the rays.  They are very cute and show a lot of personality!

I grabbed a few sting ray photos along with Skyfari photos (a slefie of Tanner and I and a photo of Mike and Tyler in the car behind us).
When I have several photos I like following a sketch - especially when I don't have a lot of time.

I started with Carta Bella SCRIPT DOTS paper from our We Are Family kit.  I order an extra set of papers each month so I can put together 2 page layouts.
I used brown and green Magicals mixed with Glossy Accents to paint the wood tree branch.  Above I mixed the green powder. 
I accidentally broke off a piece of the branch - no worries I will adhere it down in place. 
I used Glossy Accents to adhere the tree branch to my layout. 
I used my Cameo to cut out some more branches and painted Miracles on them as well. 
I used the Magicals once more.  I thinned them down a bit with extra Glossy Accents and painted the banner flags.

I cut out my titles, City Zoo fence and tabs with my Cameo.  I inked my papers with my black PITT artist pen big brush.  I used a couple of stickers from the kit and a bit of washi tape. 
You can find the supplies I used below:

The Deconstructed Layout with Anita!!!

Wednesday, September 17, 2014

Hi everyone, it's Anita here today to share a new 
Deconstructed Layout with you this morning.
I hope you are enjoying these tutorials as much as I am!
Of course, I am using some fabulous products from Frosted Designs for my layout today.

For today's tutorial, we are going to talk about background texture. I love working with stencils and molding paste, but there are times when I want to add a little something more to it. 
For this layout, I wanted to really play up the color of the We R Memory Keepers paper, which was a beautiful  orange. So I grabbed a stencil, my Molding Paste and knife, some DISTRESS GLITTER and a jar of LINDY'S STAMP GANG FLAT SHOT  in Mango Mania.
I mixed some Distress Glitter (Clear Rock Candy) and My Mango Mania Flat Shot together in a small cup and set it aside. Once I had spread a THICK coat of molding paste and removed the stencil, I poured the mixture over the paste, letting the excess run off onto a scrap of paper. 
This is what you end up with. Now, the background will be PLAIN. The reason mine is orange, is because I sprayed it with Dylusions White Linen- the residual Flat Shot that was on the paper will turn colors when the spray hits it. If you don't want the paper to be colored, just don't spray it!
Set this aside to dry, like over night. Seriously. Then you will need to seal it. REALLY. 
You will need to seal it, or it will get all over your hands every time you touch it. 
Trust me on this. 
I use Helmar's Crystal Coat Matte Varnish, but any spray sealer will work.
I added Glitz 77 stickers, flowers, and resin accents from the Summer's End Kit, some lace and a chipboard from Blue Fern Studios. To color the chippie, I used plain old pan watercolors then misted with iridescent ink. 
I used Midnight Copper Embossing Powder from Lindy's Stamp Gang for my title.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

The Deconstructed Layout with Anita!

Monday, August 25, 2014


Hi everyone, it's Anita here today to share another Deconstructed Layout with you.

I am so loving the Capture The Moment Kit from Frosted Designs- I have made several layouts with it now and every single one looks different! Be sure to get one while they last. 


Today I want to talk about using a LOT of the same color, without overwhelming your layout with it. 
You CAN do it!
Here is a look at my layout. Of course, I had to have some pink on it. I used Prima papers from the Capture The Moment kit, and Princess Collection Kit.
This is my second layer from the bottom, and I love the pattern, but wanted more color. So after I punched the edges, I inked it- and I mean I really inked it! The ink extends about 2- 2.5" in from the edge. 
I started with the lightest color of ink I wanted to use, then added a darker color of ink
 just along the edge of the paper.
Next up, I used my VersaMark  around one side at a time, and added a bit of texture with Lindy's Stamp Gang Hibiscus Rose Orange Embossing Powder.
I also used Lindy's on my Blue Fern Studio's Chippie- this time Golden Angel Wings. You can see on the upper layer of paper, just under the chipboard, I stamped using the Heart Flourish Splash stamp and an ink one shade darker.  I added the small burlap flowers to the centers of a couple of larger flowers for the corners.
 I added more flowers, butterfly and brad, all included in the Capture the Moments kit, to the lower corner.
I also added some faux stitching with my Signo White pen.
This photo illustrates how I wanted to use my color how it all came together. For the most part my layout is a monotone, mainly PINK. However, I separated each layer of pink with a NEUTRAL. Starting from the corner there is;
1. The background page
2. the PINK punched page
3. the neutral flower die-cut and chipboard
4. the PINK edge of the punched paper
5. the white portion of the punched paper
6. the PINK cardstock
7. the photo
So, the moral of our story is this:
if you want to use one color in abundance, be sure to place it between layers of neutral colors
and it will be fabulous!
I hope you give this a try, and I would love to see how it turns out!

Inspired with Shanna!

Monday, August 4, 2014

Hello everyone. My name is Shanna and today is my first independent post for Frosted Designs.

I am so excited and happy to be on the team here and sharing my passion for crafting and creating with you all.

Since the new team has joined each of us has shared a few fun facts and a little info on who we are.
So here is a little bit about me.

1. I am a SAHM of two and I spend my free time crafting. I love all styles of crafting and enjoy the creative freedom of it.

2. My favorite color is teal, aqua, turquoise, or any shade of that! 

3. I love all things ocean themed and steampunk themed! 

4. My favorite type of project is altered items, but I also love ATC's, and cards, and tags....Who am I kidding. I love it all!




Today I am sharing with you a tag I made. I really enjoy mixed media!


First I covered the tag with the Rusty Lantern Lime spray. Then I used the Time Travel Teal with a stencil. Then I used the Shabby Turbine Teal Magical with the paste and again with the same stencil.


I also used the Steel Shimmer with paste with The Crafters Workshop Well Rounded to add more texture. I topped off the feathers with some glass bead gel and finished the tag off with some Prima Flowers and Prima stitching stamping.


Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you were mixed media inspired. There is tons of amazing products in the store. Below are just a few that I used.
