Mr. and Mrs. Frosty using the Envelope LIners Framelits

As promised yesterday, I'm sharing Mr. and Mrs. Frosty using the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies.   These are SO cute and fun to make.  I found this idea on Stampin' Connection (a site only for demonstrators).  Of course I changed them up a bit, but they are essentially the same!

 

Aren't these just SO cute.  And they are cards, so can be sent!! 

Mr. Frosty

To make Mr. Frosty, first cut a card base out of Basic Black (or any color you prefer).  Click here to see Mr. Scarecrow and to see how to make the card base.

Next cut a piece of Whisper White with the middle Envelope Liner Framelit.  Then cut a piece of Basic Black for the hat.  Run this piece through the Big Shot in the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder.

Mr. Scarecrow using the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies

I LOVE LOVE this time of year - so many fun things to make and share.  I found this Mr. Scarecrow on my Stampin' Connection link and just had to share him!!  He is made with the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies - again another use for a tool!  The Envelope Liners Framelits are just SO handy for dressing up the Stampin' Up Envelopes - quick and easy, but love it when they can used for something else.  Come back tomorrow and see Mr. and Mrs. Frosty.

Isn't he just DARLING???

And this is an actual card - to make the card base, take a piece of card stock cut 5 1/2" x 11" - score at the 5 1/2" mark 

Using the middle size Envelope Liners Framelit, place your card stock with the scored side on the left just "INSIDE" the framelit

See where I have placed the framelit just to the left of the fold?

Run through the Big Shot (of course using the Magnetic Platform) and you have your card base

Cool, eh?

Big Shot:  Envelope Liners Framelits (132172 page 37 Holiday Catalog)/ Square Lattice Embossing Folder (119976, page 191)

First run Crushed Curry through the Big Shot to make the card base.  Then run a piece of 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Crumb Cake for the "face".   Again run the Sweater Weather piece through the Envelope Framelits for the "hat".

Run the Crumb Cake face through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice Embossing folder and attach to the front of the Crushed Curry Card Base.  Attach the Sweater Weather Hat.  Attach a piece of Sweater Weather for the hat brim.  Sponge around the edges of all pieces with Early Espresso.

Stamp and punch the sunflower - cut into the center of the scallop circle to make the petals.  Cut one leaf in Crushed Curry from the Bird Builder Punch and attach to the side of the sunflower.  Stamp the bird and punch out with the bird builder punch and attach to the flower with dimensionals

Cut small strip of Baked Brown sugar  (about 3/8" wide) and snip pieces 1".  Accordian fold each piece and slip under hat brim.

You never know where inspiration will hit.....

That is certainly correct - you never know when or where inspiration will hit.  So.....I have been walking up our road every day for a long time.  Here's a picture of the road I walk

It's a beautiful walk and has a grade, so I get a good workout.  1 mile up and 1 mile down.

This summer the road department came along and repaired all the "cracks" in the road.  You know, they added tar to the cracks and sealed them. 

Just a couple of weeks ago I was walking down the road and BOOM I see this

 

Doesn't that look like a shoe? 

As I'm continuing down the road I see all these "shoes" in the road

Good imagination?  Yes probably, but I thought "WITCHES SHOES"

I know, I know, it's a long shot and kind of silly, but just had to make up a one-of-a-kind card

 

LOL - some people will really appreciate the abundance of shoes!!  No names mentioned!!

Just had to have some fun!!

I printed out the sentiments.  The paper is from  the Witches' Brew Desginer Series Paper in the Holiday catalog (132185) and Season of Style Designer Series Paper (1323409)

I used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie card stock and added some "skulls" to the back and used the new Chevron Border Punch (132154)

Yes I carry my phone with me when I walk, so was able to snap these shots easily!! 

  

To make these projects you can order products by
