A Frosted Christmas cards

I have a few Christmas cards to share with you that I have been making from the gorgeous Frosted Christmas collection by Opulence by Design.


This Digital Florist Frosted Christmas cardmaking Kit comes as a 15 page PDF digital download featuring a selection of toppers, tags, sentiments, flowers, inserts and outserts for your cards (if your printer allows you to print onto card) and of course backing papers.

I used the  Tattered Lace Trifold die as a card base for my card and added the rose leaves foliage along with some extra fillers.


A smaller 6x6 inch Christmas card using the blue colourways and layering up the papers. 
In the centre of the flowers.

I have used Crystal Stickles glitter glue (which brings out the colour of the centres of the flowers). Once dry, I added droplets of glossy accents on top to give the appearance of little glittered crystals.




Finally a 7x7 inch Christmas card. I have used a poinsettia embossing folder with one of the plain backing papers. 

These Christmas roses are so pretty and they are flowers that can be used in your cardmaking all year round. 

I have only used a fraction of this kit so far, if you would like to check out Amanda's YouTube Channel for cardmaking, flower making and craft videos and tutorials you can find her gallery here:  https://www.youtube.com/c/opulencebydesign

I do love those kits, especially the flowers and the shading of the papers is fabulous, which means you will never run out.

I like to sit and cut out my flowers first whilst watching TV and when I am not making anything specific I may make a batch and put them in my flower box, it's always handy to have some ready.

Have a great evening,  whatever you have planned for yourself, it's certainly been a warm few days.

Happy crafting

A stunning set of cards Michelle, I love the details in your cutting and using the dies too, wonderful designs. I love digital kits too, AND they are always there to do more, in years to come, as I have often done. Our heatwave in Wales, in our part anyway is over, rain this morning and cooler temperatures, I have managed to dry the washing outside though. Have a great week.
