Glittering Bouquet

Howdy, everybody, and happy Tuesday to you! This week we are exploring a new design theme – all that glitters is gold. And we’re using all of the sparkly gold goodies in our crafty stash. Today’s card combines the new Traditions of Christmas paper with a few classics, like Nature’s Sweetness and some gold foil.

What I love about the new papers is that, while they lean easily toward holiday project designs, they are equally as versatile in making more general projects, as well. Today, for instance, we’re using Christmas greenery to create a thinking of you card.

We get started with a base of Cloud Cover cardstock. The background panel is a sheet of the Secret Sea & Cloud Cover stripe from the Traditions of Christmas paper pack and cutting it with the Sentimental Framing dies. The focal panel in the center of our card front starts with a double stack of the foiled script sheet from the Nature’s Sweetness pack. I liked the picture-in-picture look of the nesting rectangles with the top layer on dimensionals. These two panels are matted with some Misty Moonlight glimmer paper from the Peaceful Garden glimmer paper pack. Our focal image combines three dies from the Christmas Greenery set. The background greenery is cut from gold foil and mounted behind the focal spray which is diecut from a sheet of the Traditions of Christmas paper and mounted over the greenery sprigs with dimensionals. The sentiment from The Right Words set is stamped in Secret Sea on Cloud Cover and then diecut using the Stylish Shapes banner die using the extension method. The sentiment is popped up with dimensionals for extra eye-catching height. We finish things off with a scattering of Traditional Sparkling sequins.

We’re going to be pairing up some more fun glittery gold products from the crafty stash tomorrow. I hope you’ll drop by and check it out!
