We Create Metallics Blog Hop

It's time to hop along with the We Create Metallics Blog Hop this month as we explore all the wonderful metallic products that Stampin' Up! has to offer. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators as they share their projects to help inspire you and provide you with ideas for your own creations.

One of my favorite products to create with is the Silver Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes (item #147900) for creating simply elegant card designs. Today I paired this card base with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock that I layered on top of the card base.

To create the focal design, I used the Magnolia Blooms Photopolymer stamp set (item #152729) from the Experience Creativity Brochure. I love the images in this stamp set and they look beautiful heat embossed with Silver embossing powder on the Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

For the sentiment, I stamped it with Versamark ink onto a scrap of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment with one of the frames from the beautiful Ornate Frames Dies (item #150664) that will be available to order from the new 2019 Holiday Catalog beginning September 4th. I layered this piece onto a detailed frame that I die cut from Silver Foil, using another of the dies from the Ornate Frames Dies, with Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the sentiment to the card front with Snail Adhesive.

I decorated the coordinating Silver Edged envelope by heat embossing the large floral image with Silver embossing powder, onto the bottom left corner.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will inspire you to try using metallic products when creating your projects. It is a wonderful way to step up your designs. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.
