It's been so fun to play with exciting new products from the 2020 Annual Catalog! Are you ready for some glitz & shine?
I chose to play with the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper today. It's part of the Forever Greenery suite of products. You can see it best on page 152 of your annual catalog. It has 6 sheets; 3 each of 2 single sided designs. One side is gold and the other is white which you can color, spritz or sponge. I chose to use the gold sides for my projects here.
You can see the details & measurements for each one under the photo.
I chose to use jewel toned card stock for each card; I think it looks rich & regal with these colors. The card above is Blackberry Bliss with Very Vanilla. The pretty golden leafy medallion is all one piece; just punched out from the pack. I added a 1" X 4 1/4" strip of Vanilla under it and a stamped die cut above with a few metallic pearls. The stamped image is from Dandelion Wishes and the die is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
This card is Shaded Spruce with Vanilla. It's hard to see but the large 4" X 5 1/4" vanilla is textured with our Tasteful Textile embossing folder. The greeting is stamped on a die from Tasteful Labels using the Heart to Heart stamp set.
Once I had these pieces adhered I could add the laser cut piece on top. I added a bit of liquid multipurpose adhesive to the edges and a few leaves and it's done!
The laser cut card front pops out so easily from the rest in the sheet. No fussy cutting or die-cutting with these!
This is probably my favorite one of the three. This laser-cut piece is delicate and leafy; it leaves a perfect area for a greeting in the stitched center. The card is Night of Navy with a 2" strip of the World of Good designer paper across the middle.
I stamped the 'Always' greeting (Field of Flowers set) on a 1 1/2" X 2 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla card stock and sponged the edge with Misty Moonlight ink. The 'In My Heart' greeting is embossed with Gold embossing powder on Misty Moonlight card stock and punched out with the Classic Label punch.
Did you spy the cute little flowers on this card? They're from the new Confetti Flowers Border punch. Each one has a Metallic pearl on it.
I hope you enjoyed seeing these pretty cards with the beautiful Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper. If you like shine and glitz you'll love it!
