Creation Station Blog Hop Metallics Gone Wild

For my card, I started with a Thick Whisper White cardstock base.
Next, I added a layer of Fabulous Foil Acetate.
This was followed by a gold Foil Snowflake.

Then, I cut a Gold Foil sleigh using Santa’s Sleigh Thinlits.
Over that, I stamped the sleigh image from Santa’s Sleigh in Versamark.
To finish the sleigh, I heat embossed in gold.
Finally, I added an embossed sentiment on a narrow strip of Whisper White.

For my second project, I created a treat or gift box
and really let those metallics go wild!
My base is a Clear Tiny Treat Box.

For the sides and top, I embossed five 1-7/8″ pieces of Whisper White
with the Holly Embossing Folder.
Next, I smudged Versamark all over the panels.
Then, I carefully poured first one shade of embossing powder onto an area of the panels.
And then carefully poured the excess off.
I repeated this for each metallic.
After heat embossing, I attached the panels with Fast Fuse.

Finally, I added a fabulous bow!
To create the bow, I used Natural Trim, 1/8″ Silver Ribbon and Mini Sequin Trim.
Using generous amounts of each results in a lush bow.
I think this makes the package look even more special!

I’d love to be your demonstrator if you live in the United States!
Just amazing Sara! So elegant, love both your projects!
Thank you Linda! There are so many great metallics, I wanted use them all.
Love the elegance of your embossed sleigh card and the beauty of the marbled metallics on the box. I don’t understand why I keep talking myself out of that Holly embossing folder–it is beautiful with these metallics.
Thank you Sara. I think we all try to figure out what we “need”.
That is most certainly a sleigh fit for a VERY special man. Santa himself will be delighted to see this upgraded metallic model. Gorgeous!! xx
Thanks so much Mikaela! So pleased you like the metallic embossing on foil paper.
Absolutely stunning, Sara. A gorgeous card, and I love the combined embossing powders on your tiny treat box! D xox
Thank you Denita! I thoroughly enjoyed playing with the metallics theme.
