| Hello and a warm welcome to you. Today is BasicGrey's Aspen Frost blog hop! I am so happy you are here and promise that you will be inspired with the projects and cards in today's hop :) To start at the beginning click here...or you may be arriving from Lisa Dickinson blog here. |

Charming and familiar, wild and sweet, a juxtaposition of Christmas past and present, Aspen Frost by BasicGrey holds all the joy and tradition of a homespun holiday. In neutral birch, iced cranberry, red hot cinnamon, dazzling white, glacier blue and green apple, Aspen Frost is the comfort and blessing of yummy pies, sparkling drinks and a warm flame burning in the hearth.
How's that for a description....gotta love it and seriously the paper speaks for it's self. Honestly I haven't met a BasicGrey 6x6 or 12x12 that I didn't like. I love this soft and cream loopy flowers on the face of my card...and the on the background ..the snowflake paper is so soft and just so pretty!! Even though this is a holiday paper it can easily be used for any occasion as you can see in my second card.

 |
| The shadow box card was created with Spellbinders "Wonky Rectangles" and the beautiful papers of Aspen Frost. Below the next card I have a mimi tutorial Can you see the frost on the ornaments? I used some Rock Candy distress stickles. |
 |
| On the back of the "open Sleigh" paper is this beautiful birch paper and I just wanted to make a simple quick card for any gender. Note the background of the sentiment stickers...it's called "Oh what fun" and I love it. |
 |
| Applying Glossy Accents on the lettering from the sticker pack is fun and looks so cool. |
 |
| This paper is called "Tin Solider" and I just had to cut out the ornaments for my shadow box card. You can see which ones I cut out from the paper by the arrows. |
 |
| See how my twine is "standing" out horizontally?? Just coat the twine with some Glossy Accents and it can literally stand up to anything. Perfect for nice bows or to bend for an ornament hook. I just used my fingers to coat the twine with the G.A. and let it dry. |
 |
When I am creating a frame type card I like to use Scrap Dots instead of any kind of pop dots. It's so much faster and you dont' see the white foam... plus you can make it higher than pop dots depending on how much you squeeze out.

Forgot to write about what I was supposed to talk about or is that supposed to be a separate post? I think that with these patterns the paper could be used all year around. Love the faux wood grain. Thanks for sharing.

Fabu! LOVE both cards- the depth of the first and the great gender-neutral look of the second. I think the striped and lime green papers would be great for spring or summer projects too.
Wow - so wonderful! This line is amazing!
I love both of the cards. Had never heard of ScrapDots. I, too, often shy away from using the dimensionals for the same reason. I know you can color the sides of the foam, but that is often less than satisfactory.
WOW your cards are amazing. I am inspired !!!!
What a gorgeous card!

Thank you for all the lovely tips in this post - the cutting out of elements in the patterned paper & using those for the images is such a lovely idea. I love that button card too - just striking & quite perfect for your intention of any gender.
