Magical Christmas

 Hi Artzy friends -

Some time ago I was playing with the Dare 2B Artzy Night Sky Hot Foil Plate after learning that you can hot foil onto heat resistant acetate. I just loved the result and was waiting for just the right opportunity to use it on a card. It doesn't look like much here...

The card I created uses one simple Christmas Tree image from the Christmas Magic stamps and die sets. 

The Wishing you a magical Christmas sentiment is from the Rockin' Holiday stamp set and I think it's a perfect sentiment for this card!

I created a a frame from silver mirror cardstock using the Rectangle Framelits dies and glued it over my acetate. I popped up the frame and acetate onto my card base, giving the illusion of a shaker card. No shaker bits were necessary though because the silver foiled stars give all the sparkle needed! For one more touch of silver shine I heat embossed my sentiment using silver embossing powder. 

I wish you could see this simple shiny card in person!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Good Times

 Hi Artzy friends -

Nothing beats sitting around a campfire on a clear starry night with friends and family, roasting marshmallows, and making s'mores!

My card features the new Dare 2B Artzy Campfire Friends stamps and dies. It contains some great images and sentiments perfect for late summer/fall birthdays and other occasions.

My background was created with a hot foil plate titled Night Sky Hot Foil Plate in silver foil on navy cardstock.  I used a die from the Slimline Land & Clouds Border Dies to cut the grass for my campfire scene. 

Do you enjoy camping? What about s'mores? I hope you get to spend the remaining summer evenings doing what you enjoy with your friends! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
