Today I have a very elegant white and gold thank you card to share with you. I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Glimmer Place Card Mini Topper Hot Foil Plate as a base for layering die cuts and added some sweet flowers. I have also used a die – the Amazing Paper GraceA2 Swirl Background Etched Dies – to create the embossed finish on the background

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

For my card today I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of brushed gold cardstock 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and I then cut a piece of white cardstock and embossed it using the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Swirl Background Etched Dies for some texture and added it to the front of the gold card.

I heat embossed both ends of the Amazing Paper Grace Glimmer Place Card Mini Topper Hot Foil Plate and then die cut it with the die that comes with this set. I matted this with some brushed gold cardstock and added it to the front of the card. I then die cut two edges out of brushed gold cardstock using the small topper die from the same set. I added these over the hot foiled images on the front of the card. To hide the join I cut a 1″ strip of brushed gold cardstock, embossed a line 1/8″ each side before adding a strip of hot foiled border using the hot foil plates from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Glimmer Borders and Sentiments on top and then adding to the front of the card and folding the edges of the band behind the front panel before adhering the complete panel to the card base.

I die cut three small circles using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Circle dies – one from brushed gold cardstock, one from gold glitter cardstock and one from mirror gold cardstock. I layered these together to show the brushed gold cardstock rim, the gold glitter shadow and the mirror gold elegant twist on top. This was then added to the front of the band and panel with some foam tape.

The sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Glorious Glimmer Elegant Occasions Hot Foil Plate has been hot foiled using Aura foil on Hammermill cardstock. This was die cut with the coordinating die and I also die cut two other plain dies to stack together with the foiled sentiment on top. This was then added to the centre of the circle medallion.

The flowers were die cut from white cardstock, coloured with light yellow ink and then shaped using my fingers and then added to the bottom left of the circles. I die cut green leaves using the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Etched Dies, shaped with my fingers and added around the flowers. I also added some gold glitter leaves using the die from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Etched Dies.

To finish the card I added some Frosted Lace stickles to the flowers and gold pearls to the centre of the flowers and on the decorative dies, corners of the central panel and on the hot foiled border.
