If you have your Stampin’ Hot Foil System handy, this card is easy to make and looks like an expensive card (and they ARE expensive these days!) you would buy in the store. This Botanical Glow Colored Leaves Birthday Card is simply elegant with the gold hot foil designs! I absolutely love these Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies for the font and style plus the basic sayings that we all need almost every time we make a card.
Here’s how I made this card. The card base is Basic White, or you can use the Thick version or even White Willow cardstock. I used Lost Lagoon Cardstock for the card layer and used the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Die with Gold Foil to make the leafy design. There is also a matching stamp, but it does not line up (and isn’t supposed to!) with the foiled leaves. I didn’t use the stamp, though, on this card. I wanted to keep it simple.
After hot foiling the leaves, I colored them in with the Light Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend. It’s not that difficult to do all these leaves. I really like the look. It doesn’t have to be perfect!
The greeting is made with the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. I did it in gold and then another die cut it out! Love these! For a little embellishment, I added some white Pearls of Beauty for an embellishment. They are on the Last Chance list and discounted.
As I write this, the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Die should be restocked this week (be sure to look it up in the Online Store, then fill out the email form to be notified when it is back in stock) and the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies are due back the week of September 7.
