Happy Friday! Ready to get crafty this weekend? Kelly’s here to provide a little TGIF inspiration. I loved reading about her inspiration for the projects she’s sharing today. Inspiration is everywhere!
Hello Friends, it’s Kelly here! I’m thrilled to be here today sharing two cards for this week’s TGIF feature! My family went to see Frozen II this weekend (with the rest of America) and I just loved it! It was a visual treat and while yes, I was watching the movie, I was also designing cards in my head at the same time! Ha ha! These two cards are directly inspired by Elsa and one of her outfits in particular.

I knew that the Nordic Frames paired with some of my favorites from the new release as well as the Frosty Flakes Stencil from the previous release would be the perfect combination to recreate the look and feel of her beautiful dresses. I used a combination of silver embossing and Moonstone Glimmer paste with the stencils to give these cards that icy feeling that I was hoping to achieve! I added some coarse Crystal glitter as well, even sprinkling it over the Nuvo Drops to give them a frozen appearance! By switching up the colors in the Pine Blossom cluster, It really gives the bouquet a completely different feeling than what I used during the release! I love when a stamp set is versatile like that so I can get extra mileage from it all season long! I decided to use the Flappable Stecils to create some coordinating envelopes to complete the presentation!
I can’t wait to use these in the depths of winter when some may have lost their hope for spring. I personally try to embrace the beauty of every season, and these cards hopefully will do the same when they make their appearance in someone’s mailbox to brighten their day! Thanks for joining me today and I hope you all get some crafty time this weekend to work on some projects of your own!

Your color choice is fabulous and I love the font of “just a note” and how you stamped it on that circle to draw the eye in!!
Lovely colors, texture and designs.
Absolutely stunning cards Kelly! Love everything about these. Wonderful inspiration!
I already commented on Kelly’s blog, however I’m wondering if these cards are A2 or 5 x7 cards? These just made me feel kiddy and happy and icy for winter and the holiday.
These are so beautiful, Kelly!

Kelly, your card designs are so inspiring. I’m always so pleasantly surprised and delighted with each one. I loved your statement about designing in your head while watching the movie – I’m not surprised at all! This design turned out beautifully, and I just love it! Thank you for inspiring me once again!
