Cards 1 and 2: Layered Ornate Die Set
I just love this new Layered Ornate Die Set and it was so much fun to put together! I used Garden Trellis Cover Die to die cut the background pattern to give a white-on-white textured background with more interest than just a plain panel. Blends 6×6 paper pack and Brushed Silver Metallic cardstock was used for the oval frame section and Sweet Sentiments Hot Foil and Die Set for the sentiment. Some silver gems from my stash in each flower centre added a nice finishing touch.
I love the glitter gradient cardstock sets and with a black background, this gives a very striking look to the cards. The black panel was embossed with Diamond Stars 3D Embossing Folder for added interest and texture. I used Pink Brilliance, Forest Canopy and Gilded Glitter Cardstock Sets to die cut the floral frame and Sweet Sentiments Hot Foil and Die Set for the sentiment.
Cards 3 and 4: Rainbow Burst Hot Foil and Stencil Set
I hot foiled the hot foil plate onto white cardstock then used Soft Pastel Ink Set to blend the layers. This look made me think this would be a perfect baby card so I completed the card using a Sweet Sentiment Hot Foil and Die and for the word baby I used Tall Alpha Lowercase stamp set.
I used artist markers in various colours to colour the panel, the wonderfully made die for the sentiment to create a rainbow effect.
Cards 5 and 6: Curtain Leaves Cover Die
For this first design I die cut the delicate cover using brushed gold metallic cardstock and layered it onto an ink blended background. Some vellum grounds the sentiment which is die cut from Just a Number Die Set
This time I used the cover die as if it was a hot foil plate – did you know you can use any die to hot foil with? A TOTAL GAME CHANGER for hot foiling in my opinion! The background is again ink blended with lime and teal cave dye inks then double-matted with holographic cardstock and teal cardstock from my stash. The sentiment is the Fancy Enjoy Die.
Cards 7 and 8: Flower Wreath Hot Foil and Stencil Set
Another new favourite for me! The stencils make it so easy to add colour in any combinations you choose. A simple sentiment across the front onto a thin strip of coordinating cardstock adds the finishing touch.
This time I used the Woodless Coloring Pencils to colour the images and add shading and details. Another Sweet Sentiments word for the sentiment finished this clean and simple card.
Cards 9 and 10: Flowery Bouquet Hot Foil and Stencil Bundle
Wow, I just love this large floral image – especially as I could hot foil it too! I felt that the design would work well for a mini slimline card. I used Lapis Lazuli and A Pocket Full of Sunshine Dye inks to colour the design.
This time I fussy cut around the image so that I could add it to a Velvet Cardstock A2 panel. Another Sweet Sentiment hot foiled and die cut in black and holographic cardstock from my stash finishes this card.
I really hope I have inspired you to create your cards using some of these gorgeous new products. All products are linked below for your convenience.
Until next time, Happy Paper Crafting xx
