Three Gold & White Cards

Good morning.

Today I want to show you three cards I created using gold and white.

I have used 240gms smooth white cardstock and 

Pearlised gold cardstock for each of my cards.

Let's start with this card.

The card is 5 1/4" square.

I have cut the pearlised gold cardstock 5" x 5" and 5" x 1 3/8"

and white cardstock 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" and 5" x 1 1/8"

I used an embossing folder (Spellbinders I think) 

to emboss roses into the 4 3/4" piece of white cardstock

I layered the 1 1/8" white cardstock onto the 1 3/8" strip of gold cardstock

then attached chipboard to the back of that panel.

The embossed piece of white cardstock was attached to the 

5" piece of gold cardstock and the panel was then attached to the cardbase.

I wrapped a piece of gold organza ribbon around the layered strip

 before attaching it approximately centre of the front of the card.

A white flower from my stash and some gold leaves 

cut with Uniquely Creatives Little Leaves die along with 

a die cut gold bow embellish the front of the card.

The greeting was also die cut. The shadow is the same pearlised gold cardstock 

and the "hello" is white cardstock.

To finish the card off I added some splatters with a mixture of Gold Glimmermist

and Gold Spritzing Ink by Artiste.

The second card is a shaker.

The card base is 6 1/4" x 10", scored at 5" on the 10" side to make a 6 1/4" x 5" card

I also cut two pieces of white cardstock 5 3/4" x 4 1/2", these will become my shaker element.

There is one piece of the pearlised gold cardstock that measures 6" x 4 3/4". 

This is the background layer between the card front and the shaker panel.

I cut Hero Arts Flower Garden Fancy Die 

from one of the 5 3/4" x 4 1/2" pieces of white cardstock

I trimmed around the die cut negative so there was only about 1/2" of the

pattern left of the die cut.

I cut a piece of acetate to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and attached that to the back

 of the negative of the die cut.

I then used glue to attach the die cut panel to the outside of the acetate

 so it inlayed neatly into the edges of the die cut negative.

Foam tape was attached to the back of this panel making sure not to allow any

of the foam tape to show through to the front.

With the back of the shaker panel facing up I added the course gold glitter

 and sealed it in place by attaching the other piece

of 5 3/4" x 4 1/2" white cardstock.

The gold cardstock was added to the card front then the shaker panel

was attached to that.

To embellish the card I stamped Woodware's Mini Garden Spray stamp

 twice onto the gold cardstock. 

I used myAntistatic Powder Tool, Versamak Ink and White Embossing Powder for this. 

Once I had fussy cut them I shaped the petals using my flower shaping tool

and then layered one on top of the other using foam squares 

to give the flower added dimension.

I used the same Leaf die to cut three leaves from the gold cardstock

and added these to the card front, tucked under the flower.

The greeting was stamped using Woodware's Word Fragments stamp set then

 heat embossed using myAntistatic Powder Tool, 

Versamak Ink and Gold embossing powder.

The third card is once again 5 1/4" square

This is probably the simplest of today's cards.

The cardstock for the card base is 5 1/4" x 10 1/2" scored and folded at 5 1/4" on the 10 1/2" edge.

The gold cardstock is 5" square and has been embossed with 

Couture Creations Washed Away embossing folder.

A pretty lace from KS4U was added near the left hand edge of the card front

I used Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die and white cardstock 

to make the flower for the front of this card 

The greeting is a stamp and die set from Kaszazz called "Hello"

I have used gold embossing powder.

I also added a die cut bow to finish this card off.

Here is my process video

I hope you will try making one or more of these cards. They are all quite easy.

If you would like a tutorial on how to make the flower on the last card

let me know in the comments and I will make a "how to" video for you.

I learned how to make this flower from a YouTube video about 10 years ago

and I use it quite often. It is a very handy flower to use when you want

a nice sized focal point for a card or an embellishment for a scrapbooking layout.

Thank you for spending part of your day here with me today

Till next time

Stay safe

Hugs
