So this week I’ve been playing with WOW! heat reactive foil!  I wanted a subtle yet striking background for my Memory Box Stitched Heart Trio die cuts so pulled out an older set from Avery Elle called Brushed – and stamped one of the brush strokes three times in Versamark Ink.  I then used the WOW! Bonding powder and sprinkled it over the stamped images much as you would embossing powder.  When you then heat it it goes tacky and whilst it’s still hot, you add over the foil.  I burnished it a little with a bone folder and then peeled back the foil to reveal the silver design!  For the rest of the card I simply die cut the hearts from cream and Doll Pink card stock and layered them up alternatively.  I added them to my card and finished off with a few spots of Silver Moondust Nuovo drops.  The sentiment, which is also foiled is from one of my favourite go-to die sets from Avery Elle, Sentimental.

Well I’m well and truly in the swing of it with Christmas – I KNOW it’s only August but with all the new releases from my favourite companies showing up, it’s hard to not start getting that festive feeling!  Today’s card is a crisp and clean Christmas card using some fantastic Memory Box designs.  The actual Merry Christmas die I used is not currently available at Simon Says Stamp but I have linked to another gorgeous, similar one below.  I love this border die too – it’s Country Landscape and with just a touch of added sparkle it makes a quick and simple card that looks so festive!

50dollar_voucher_600pxI’ve gone all metallic on my card this week – I don’t often combine gold and silver but I think it can work so well together.  I used a sheet of the We R Memory Keepers Clearly Posh acetate and added it as a panel on the front of the card with a strip of glitter tape as a border.  On the front I used the Memory Box Large Olive Branch die and gave it a two tone embossed treatment in gold and silver. The Avery Elle sentiment die was also embossed in silver to compliment it.  I added a couple of Doodlebug gold and silver sprinkles to finish.
