Guest Designer - Karrie Sweet!

Thursday, April 16, 2015

We are thrilled to announce another Guest Designer this week!! Karrie has been a long time supporter of Frosted Designs and we love her work! (We think you will too!) Not only is she sharing a gorgeous project, but she is also sharing the steps she took to create it!! Thanks Karrie!

After you check out her project, let her know you stopped by!  :)



Hi I’m Karrie and I am very honoured to be the guest of Frosted Designs today.  
 I want to share my recent project using some items from the Out of the Blue kit (love it!) such as 
papers from the Kaisercraft Blue Bay collection, as well as mini roses. 
I also used Tim Holtz stencils for my background that I received in other Frosted kits!  
 My good friend is getting married and I wanted to give her something for 
displaying her favourite wedding photo.   My super-talented hubby is going to be making a shadowbox type frame before we gift it.

 So sshh don’t tell her!  
Her wedding colours are black and purple, so of course that’s what I went with.
 I’ve taken some pix of some of the process, which took about 4 hours start to finish. 
Gather supplies, create a background on cardboard... 

put it like this ??
 
...well, play with it some more...   Fussy cut the Calla Lily deco from the invitation...
 fussy cut roses and add more layers.

I know my friend loves the beach so I think seashells are a perfect touch.   White gauze, black tissue paper, flowers,  and pearls complete the project.

 I hope you enjoyed getting the sneak peek and I sure hope she will like it!

Altered Frame with this Month's "Out of the Blue" Kit!!!!

Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Hello again crafters!!!  It's Brandi popping in with an altered frame using this month's beautiful kit!

Here's a look at the frame:

As most of you know, my mother passed away last month which has been the cause for my absence over the past few weeks.  I've decided to make some tribute frames for members of our family so I'm sure you'll be seeing her quite a bit in the upcoming months ;-)

I started by covering the frame with one of the beautiful papers from the kits after I painted the simple wooden frame white (Picked up the frame for $1.00 at my local craft store).  I added in my photo, covering it using the silver doily overlay from the add on kit!


I added flowers and embellies from the kit in adjacent corners to add some pizzazz!


I used some of the Ranger blue mist from a previous kit to dye my trim from this kit blue, then added it across the bottom for contrast against the white background!


I finished with a number of the wooden embellishments that were inked using distress ink, then I added a bit of the crackle accents from the kit for added shine!



Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Out of the Blue with Connie!

Tuesday, March 24, 2015

Hi Again Connie Here. I created  a layout with " Out of the Blue " March Kit.  I adore this Kit.  I added some hand sewing on the corners. Layered the paper and added the crackle finish to the wooden title. I also created the lace blooms for the flowers.

We Remember Moments with Connie!

Wednesday, March 18, 2015


Hi Connie Here.  My turn to show you a project with the "Out of the Blue" March Kit.  I made a Layout.  I love the colors of this kit and all the embellishments.  You can find this fabulous kit and our other kits here at the Frosted Designs Store. (Did we mention that you can get this kit for $35 without signing up for a subscription?!)

 Here is my page.


I started by layering my paper on each other. I distressed and "Fluted " the edges. I added a layer of Molding paste with the crocodile stencil from the kit.I I also used the stamp and applied it all around the page. cut some 3 x 4 cards out and I had a left over of the rose paper.  I made a mat and used a punch from my stash to frame it. I had some pictures from our summer photo shoot. I placed the wooden frames over the pictures. I filled in the gaps with the flowers.

An Out of the Blue Tag!

Wednesday, March 11, 2015

Hi there FD Friends! Rachelle here on the Blog today so excited to share this project I designed using this month's gorgeous kit "Out Of The Blue." Take a look!

"Don't Forget To Smile"

I really enjoyed designing this tag using the kit products. The tag is more of a mixed media style because I used the Tim Holtz layering stencil, background texture, and spritz. This is a 3 layered tag with distressed edges.

I so love the colors a long with the products. Fantastic KaiserCraft collection.

I used the beautiful lace, Shimelle wood veneer, and rose buds.
TIP: I saved each kit and use a few products for older kits. Perfect!!!!!



Here you can see lace flowers and Petaloo flowers which I applied to the tag. They make the tag more beautiful. The kit comes with crackle accent which I applied to the background to give it that rusty look.







Well that's it for today's post! I hope you like this project and feel ready to get started on yours.
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to pick up your kit and other craft products from the Frosted Designs Store!

DID WE MENTION THE SPECIAL PRICING THIS MONTH???

Tutorial Tuesday: Masculine Card with Brandi!!!

Tuesday, March 10, 2015



Hey there crafters!  Brandi here today!  I've been absent for a bit, I know.  My mother recently passed, unexpectedly, which has caused my entire life to turn upside down at the moment.  I am doing everything I can take it a day at a time, and sometimes, even a moment at a time.  But there's no doubt, this has been by far, the hardest thing I have ever gone through.  


I'm up on the Frosted Designs blog today with a masculine card tutorial.  I used this month's beautiful kit and some stamps from Creative Embellishments to make this wonderful card perfect for any occasion!

Here's a look at my card:

Here's the link to my Snap Guide Tutorial:

Check out How to Create a Masculine Card by Brandi Matos on Snapguide.

And some close-ups:


Here I used some background stamps from CE for my background, then used some molding paste over the Crocodile Stencil included in this month's kit from Frosted Designs :-)



I used some Lindy's Tornado black mist to color my chipboard and added some of the crackle accents included in this months kit :-)

Well gang... Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
