Metallic finishes are very much on trend and you see them everywhere these days. So why not on our holiday greeting cards? I used the Champagne Foil Paper as the metallic of choice on today’s card and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. The card base is Whisper White Thick card stock which I ran through the Big Shot with the “pierced edged die” from the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits. It cuts the scalloped edge and the pierced holes at the same time. How sweet is that? On the inside of the card I attached a 1″ wide strip of the Champagne Foil Paper so that you see the foil when the card is closed. On the front of the card I added some of the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper which has metallic snowflakes printed on it. I went back to the Champagne Foil and the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits again and cut out the very delicate row of snowflakes and the little snowflake accent. I attached them with the Multi-purpose Glue. Isn’t it stunning the way the row of metallic snowflakes fits so perfectly within the border of the pierced edge? I added a band of Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Washi Tape and the final touch was stamping the sentiment from Snowflake Sentiments in Smoky Slate Ink and punching it out with the Pretty Label Punch.
Here’s a little Tip for You: To get the Foil Layer behind the stamped Pretty Label piece, I punched a label from the Champagne Foil paper and cut it in half length-wise, and then positioned the split label behind the stamped image with Fast Fuse.
If you love this card as much as I do and you want to make it, don’t forget to order the stamp set and Thinlits together in the Snowflake Sentiments Bundle because it will save you 10%, and we all love to save money, right?
