Try This Magical Frosted Forest Christmas Card Technique

[@jaypechman4014]

I think this beautiful card is perfect the way it is with just the two gems on either side of the greeting. The trees are the main attraction of the card so there's no need to add anything more. Let them shine.

Thanks Jay! I had a workshop table at a local craft show this past weekend and everyone agreed that it was the perfect balance and nice final touch to this card.

Beautiful just as it is, love it .

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks Sandra. It is so pretty up close. I agree with you and have left it as is.

[@LindaHunter-f7q]

I wouldn’t add more gems it’s beautiful as it is 👍

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks LindaI I agree and left my card as is.

[@janesegriffin4163]

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks Jane! It is a fun technique to do.

Beautiful card

Thanks Charlene - I love all the fun things that can be created using masks.

[@gerrywolfe2549]

Very beautiful.

I am delighted that you are now part of my crafting community on KZbin. Thanks for subbing!

[@darlenebosley1117]

I feel you made a beautiful with just the right balance as is.

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks Darlene. I think it depends on where you want your eye to go - does that make sense? For me it is the trees and not the embellishments which is why I kept them to a minimum on this card.

[@elaineschneider2553]

This is a beautiful creation. Thank you

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Glad you like it Elaine. It is soooo pretty up close. The sparkle is gorgeous.

[@julieblack5225]

Love your card and the paste! ❤

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks. That paste looks beautiful in real life!

[@celiacrutchfield8530]

Absolutely beautiful! I think it's personal preference on the embellishments. Looks great the way it is, more would be fine too. ☺️

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks Celia. I think I will keep it as is - simple is also beautiful.

[@charlenekinelski7416]

Beautiful card, Terri

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks so much Charlene. That paste is so sparkly!

[@rosemarieschmidt2423]

The design and all aspects of the card are amazing… as are you! So creative, so stunning, just as you created it. Thank you for sharing. (I don’t have the white paste that you used, can you suggest an alternative “snow” to try?)

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks for your kind comment Rose! You can try white craft ink and perhaps clean the mask in-between every tree to avoid smearing. Or you can try Versamark and White embossing powder, embossing each tree as you go.

[@SunshineStampsUSA]

Beautiful! You could add some Wink Of Stella. 😊

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Ohhh, great idea. I just might try that on my next card. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@cherylalgie]

Beautiful! As I was watching I was wondering if it would be safe to use the enamel effects with the masks ? I guess it’d be fine if they were washed right away ?

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Hi Cheryl. I don't know as I don't have any enamel effects. I think if I used them I would have to wash and dry the mask before moving to the next tree as it might smear? What do you think?

[@cherylalgie]

@ yes , you are correct ! Maybe I’ll just emboss using white powder . Thank you ☺️

[@wandaspencer9523]

Beautiful card. Is the lost lagoon piece 3 3/4” x 4? Or 3 3/4 x 5? I am definitely going to make your card. I enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks for sharing 😅❤

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Hi Wanda. The Lost Lagoon piece is 3 3/4" x 5". I am happy to read you are going to give it a try! Let me know how it goes.

[@mary-car]

I like it with just the 2 gems. But I think if you don’t have the shimmer white paste and use white craft ink instead, then perhaps you can add some more gems. Beautiful card!

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks Mary! I haven't tried this idea using craft ink - might give that a go this weekend and see the difference.

[@Mommadukes337]

Needs more gems. Maybe just 2 more.

[@nutzaboutstamping]

I agree that a bit more sparkle might be nice! Thanks for your advice.

[@BarbaraKrankel]

Beautiful card, but I would have added more embellishments.

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks for sharing you suggestion with me Barbara!

[@kathleenwood2940]

Just a few more embellishments for Christmas.

[@nutzaboutstamping]

Thanks for sharing you suggestion with me Kathleen!

[@darlawelch9676]

I love this, but even more I love hearing you say, “It doesn’t have to be perfect”. We crafters, esp. beginners, tend to be our own worst critics.

[@nutzaboutstamping]

That's my mantra Darla! I am quite self-critical and trying to overcome this - especially when filming my videos! 😉
