Laura's Layered Frozen Winter Scrapbook Page
One of the things I love about G45 paper - including the Let's Get Cozy paper pack and the Patterns & Solids paper pack is how easy it is to create layers.
I used a sequence of photos from a couple years ago of our oldest when we went sledding and he was having a good time jumping the little jump we set up.
I created clusters using the wonderful Let's Get Cozy Ephemera Assortment

Suzz's Frozen Winter Bouquet Background
Hi! Suzz here, sharing today on TFJB Inspiration Ave Blog a few tags celebrating the idea of Frozen! I decided to play with the Mica Stain Sprays in a frozen color palette.
The tag was created using mica stain spray, ranger opaque distress texture paste and a layering stencil.
- Lay the stencil down on the white cardstock.
- Smear the Opaque texture paste over the stencil.
- Let the paste dry. (I let it dry partially so the color blended into the paste)
- Spray a mix of the frozen colors (blue and grey) over the surface and add spritzes of water to blend.
- Dab off the excess or hold on the side to allow it to drip off.
- Let dry completely.
- To highlight the shimmer from the sprays an additional coat of clear embossing powder was added over the surface.
- Sponge Versamark Ink over the surface.
- Cover with clear embossing powder and shake off excess.
- Heat up the embossing powder.
The clear embossing highlighted the richness of the mica stain and the shimmer from the stain sprays. To finish the tag a layer of embellishments with some holiday sticker for the sentiment and a touch of flowery trim for the top.
For the next tag an additional shimmer and iciness was built into the background of the tag.
To create the background of the tag:
- Stamp the snowflakes randomly across the surface using Versamark Watermark Ink.
- Heat emboss the snowflakes with white or clear embossing powder. (If you use clear you will need to make sure not to spray too much shimmery spray as it can spread under the embossed snowflakes)
- Spray the mica stain sprays onto a craft mat and add water.
- Drag the stamped background across the inky mat.
- Add more spray directly to tag to add more color.
- Let the tag completely dry.
- Cover the surface of the tag with versamark.
- Heat emboss using clear embossing powder.
- Repeat the process of the versamark and embossing powder multiple times.
- During the final coat while the embossing powder is still liquid sprinkle on rock candy distress glitter. Heat set.
After the tag dries you should be able to crack the surface by bending it slightly. If it doesn't crack add another coat of versamark and embossing powder.
To finish the tag just add the snowflake accents and the paper doll image.

Lisa's Frozen Winter Shrine
Hello, Lisa Hoel here and welcome to my take on the current Funkie Junkie focus! The theme is Frozen Winter so I happily created a home decor piece to display since I had to put all my Christmas decorations away.
I've used new and old favorites in the creation of this project. The structure is the Halloween 2022 Vignette Arched Shrine box. (It's not just for Halloween!)
The outside is covered with strips of Holiday Gray Two-tone Woodgrain Cardstock and diecut snowflakes.
I wanted to capture the joy of snowy weather when you are a child. This little girl is ready with her snowballs! (Baubles covered with Snowfall Grit Paste.) I also thought this was a perfect opportunity to use the new Tim Holtz Wood Slice Thinlits Die Set. I like that it comes with the alphabet so you can "carve" whatever message you want.
Let's take a look at some of the "how-to":
Step 1 - I love the new Wood Slice Die Set! I first inked the inner wood portion die with Archival Vintage Photo ink so it would transfer when I cut that piece. I thought the rings ended up too dark and there wasn't enough contrast with the letters. I recut the pieces with different brown cardstock and used a lighter brown Archival Ink on the die. (Heart on the left.) Much better!
Step 2 - I lined the shrine with paper spritzed with Tumbled Glass and Brushed Pewter Distress Spray Stains. I also brushed on Collage Medium and sprinkled it with Distress Mica Flakes. That added great sparkle to the background.
The wood slats behind the heart were cut out of inked Kraft Heavystock and then embossed using the Lumber 3-D Embossing Folder by Tim Holtz. The wood edges of the shrine I covered with Trims Design Tape.
Step 3 - Coloring Paper Dolls
I used Distress Watercolor Pencils to tint the Paper Doll I chose for my vignette. Paula Cheney has a great tutorial post on all the ins and outs of using them for coloring the dolls. Definitely check that out.
This particular figure is from a Paper Doll pack from a few years ago but there are plenty of options in the 2022 Christmas pack too. I used a combination of coloring directly onto the figure, then blending the color with a water/brush as well as 'painting' with the pigment pulled directly off of the tip of a pencil that had been dipped in water.
