All that glitters IS gold
I just love all of the gold that Stampin’ Up! has added over this past year! And like all Stampin’ Up! products, there’s also the beautiful coordination factor that’s a big wow! I also created another card using our gold products – you can find it here.
I began this card with the idea of using Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape and the Stars Framelits and Big Shot to create a focal point image. I used one of the Stars Framelits and traced around it on Very Vanilla Cardstock. Then I filled in the space with the Washi Tape, set the Star Framelit back over the pen lines and ran it through the Big Shot to cut it out. Here’s a look at what I’m describing:
Next I wanted to create a frame around the star using the Gold Foil Sheets. I used two of the Stars Framelits – the same one with which I cut out the Washi Tape star and also the size below it. I placed the smaller one inside the larger one, laid them on the Gold Foil Sheet and ran it through the Big Shot. Here’s a photo of the set up:
And here’s the card closeup:
I added Gold Baker’s Twine and one of the sentiment from Fabulous Four stamp set stamped with an Encore Gold stamp pad. I really wanted the star to stick out off of the card, but that posed a problem for putting it in an envelope. But no fear – with the Envelope Punch Board, you’re able to create any size envelope you choose! So I made my envelope 6″ x 4-3/4″ and it slipped right in.
But why stop there? If I’m creating a custom envelope, I might as well dress it up a bit, right? So I made an additional envelope base then cut across the bottom and sides to create a liner.
Then I placed my rows of Washi Tape all along the part of the envelope that would fit down inside the outer envelope. Once on, I trimmed down the Washi Tape and also trimmed the liner so it would slide down inside the envelope base.
I think this special card will be for my husband’s uncle who is turning 80 next weekend. He and his wife are also celebrating 60 years of marriage! Gold will be perfect!
