My card features the Fancy Frames stamp set. These fabulous frames can be used in so many ways. You can use them in a bold, graphic style or they can be used simply, with a light touch, as I’ve done here.




I heat embossed three of the frames on soft stone cardstock to create a subtle background. The main frame was heat embossed in leaf embossing powder on vellum and trimmed out so the Santa from Santa Paws (Santa Paws Icons) could peek out through it. I stamped, coloured and trimmed a second set of arms and glued those on so it looks like he’s holding on to the frame. The fluffy parts of his outfit were created using glossy accents and fun flock.



I created a custom sentiment using ‘i ♥’ from Fancy Frames, ‘spreading’ from Giddy Gumdrops, and ‘holiday cheer’ from the original Christmas Words Dies. The Shadow was created with a combination of snow embossing powder and black pigment ink.


Thanks so much for hopping with us today! Remember to check the Paper Smooches Blog on Monday to see if you are one of the lucky winners!!
