Welcome to a bright, new shiny week! The weekend went by in a whiz-bang around here. I don’t know about you, but I needed another day or two. But alas, we’re off and running on this week.
Exciting things are here in crafty land! EIGHT new releases have hit the online store today — the new holiday catalog, the new Online Exclusives, the new Hot Foil Magic catalog, new kits, a new craft class, a new Product of the Month, and a couple of other things I can’t remember right at the moment. Whew.
So this week’s theme is all about the holidays, which will span a whole host of holiday goodness from September to December. And we’re getting started with a super simple and gorgeously stunning holiday card using one of the new hot foil bundles — Magical Christmas.
I used a neutral base of white cardstock. A sheet of the textured foil sheets from the Neutral Noel paper pack covers the entire card front. I hot foiled the Magical Christmas plate in gold foil on a sheet of Garden Green cardstock and then cut it down so there were narrow borders all the way around and matted this panel with a sheet of the red Timeless Metallic specialty paper cut with the largest Perennial Postage die. We adhere our focal panel to the card front with dimensionals and add some of the Christmas epoxy shapes willy nilly on the card front for little pops of color and interest amongst our Christmas sentiments and finish things off with a bow of holiday baker’s twine in the corner.
This is super shiny and eye-catching in person. And it comes together in no time flat. You can easily make a whole set in one crafting session! We’re going to be making all sorts of holiday cards this week. We’ll be dreaming of sweater weather with tomorrow’s design. I hope you’ll drop by and check it out.
