Frosted Forest Decorative Masks
When it comes to crafting stunning, handmade greeting cards, versatility is key. That’s why I’m excited to showcase the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks by Stampin’ Up! These incredible masks are not just for one season—they’re perfect for creating beautiful cards all year round. Whether you’re crafting for spring, summer, autumn, or winter, the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks will add depth, dimension, and a touch of magic to your projects.
With six unique designs, these masks allow you to layer tree images to create intricate and realistic scenes. Use Blending Brushes to apply different shades of ink for a multi-dimensional look, or try Embossing Paste to add texture and depth. The possibilities are endless, and the results are always impressive.
For this card, I wanted something bright for Spring and Summer so I went with the color palette of Smoky Slate, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green. You can find tons of inspiration for different color combinations for all the seasons in my Color Combination Library – make sure you check it out!
With the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks, you can create stunning, textured greeting cards that capture the essence of every season. These masks are a must-have for any crafter looking to add depth and dimension to their projects. So grab your crafting supplies and let your creativity shine all year round!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Basic White cardstock in half to create your card base.
- Adhere the Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock to the front of the card.
- Use a Post-In Note or Washi Tape to tape down the 3-3/4” x 5” piece of Basic White cardstock onto your scratch paper.
- Line up the Masks so that the notches in the upper right corner match. Layer Mask #1 (with the tree branches) over the White cardstock, taping it down with Washi Tape so it doesn’t move.
- Using a small Blending Brush, lightly sponge Smoky Slate ink over the mask. When done, remove the mask and set aside.
- Layer the 2nd Mask (larger leaves) onto the cardstock, lining up this mask with the sponged tree trunk. Using another Blending Brush, lightly sponge Lemon Lime Twist over the mask.
- Remove the mask and line up the last mask, taping down if desired. Use the Blending Brush to add Granny Apple Green ink over the mask. Remove the mask and adhere the Basic White cardstock to the front of the card.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1/2” strip of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, using Granny Apple Green Ink. Using your scissors, cut the right side of your cardstock at an angle.
- Adhere the sentiment strip of the cardstock onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
- Note: the masks will wash easily with water. I recommend you clean them in the sink by simply running water over them. Then just lay them down and let air dry.
