NOW on to my cards!
Not only are these flat shaker cards, but the "merry" sentiment is hot foiled ON the acetate (and it's not heat-resistant acetate either - it's just the recycled packaging I use for most of my flat shaker cards). GAME. CHANGER. I got a lovely e-mail not too long ago from Karen F and she shared that she'd foiled on the packaging and her fab flat shaker card showing how it worked for her. She informed me that she doesn't have a blog or YouTube or anything like that so she wanted to let me know so I could try it. I am giving her FULL credit for the idea b/c I never would have even thought of trying this. And it works SO well! THANK YOU Karen! ❤️❤️❤️
SO - I hot foiled the CZ Design Merry Hot Foil Plate onto the packaging with the Spellbinders Speckled Aura Glimmer Hot Foil. It worked perfectly.
Aren't these FUN??? And SO easy to make! I used the CZ Design Just Trees stencil on the card stock panel, then wrapped the panel with the "merry" hot foiled acetate. I filled it with sequins and chunky gold glitter and then adhered the white heat embossed sentiment from Simon's XL Christmas Greetings stamp set.
On the insides of the cards I used the Just Trees stencil again, and added another sentiment from the XL Christmas Greetings set and that was it!
