Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a pretty thank you card featuring our Gold Skinny Washi Tape and Black Pearl Bling! I did the bleaching technique on the stamped image on the front of this card and used a lighter-weight 80# cardstock this time (versus 100# cardstock I’ve used in the past) which yielded a sort of mottled effect that I thought looked really cool and added some texture. Foil is so difficult to photograph and I took photos in my studio and outdoors, and these angled ones were the best I could get. *sigh*

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock along with a gold metallic foil layering panel. I applied strips of our Gold Skinny Washi Tape in a diagonal fashion across the black cardstock panel (eyeballed it… didn’t measure) and then adhered it to the gold metallic foil panel and then to the card base. I stamped the floral image from the Trinity Stamps Summer Blooms stamp set in Versamark and heat embossed it with Ranger Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder. I painted the image with a Tsukineko Fantastix Brush and household bleach, and then used Karin Brushmarkers to color the bleached areas of the image. I die cut the image with the coordinating Trinity Stamps Summer Blooms die set and adhered it to three more plain die cuts for a little dimension, and adhered the piece to the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set in Versamark on a scrap piece of the black cardstock and heat embossed it in gold, trimmed it, and adhered it to the card front with Scrapbook Adhesives Black Thin Foam Squares. To finish off the front, I added some Black Pearl Bling.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis Light Yellow cardstock and embellished it with a strip of Gold Skinny Washi Tape and two narrow strips of CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock cardstock. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in black ink and layered the panel on the Hygloss Gold Metallic Foil cardstock.

And one more look… super happy with how this turned out! There’s nothing more classy-looking than our gold skinny washi tape on black cardstock! And the Black Pearl Bling really tops it off!

Hi everyone! A big ole’ Happy Friday to you all! I hope you’ve had a great week and have something fun planned this weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m delighted to be back on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a clean and simple thank you card featuring the Birch Press Design Petal Triangle Layer Set that I used in a very bright and bold fashion with a red, orange and yellow color combo! I love me some color but I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about this when I started it, but the longer I looked at the finished card the more I like it! It’s extremely rare that I don’t have some white in my cards and this has absolutely no white whatsoever!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock which I adhered to the card base. Using the Birch Press Design Petal Triangle Layer Set, I cut the three pieces from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Orange cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock, adhered them together, and adhered the piece to the card front. I stamped the sentiment in orange ink and added some gemstones to complete the front.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Orange cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in orange ink and layered the panel on the orange cardstock.

And one more peek… such a simple design that really packs a powerful punch with the bright colors! This Petal Triangle Layer Set is amazing and I highly recommend any of the Birch Press Design layer sets!
