Foiling with Etched Dies | Pink and Blue Christmas Cards made using using 'Christmas Joy' and 'Christmas Blooms', Dies by Spellbinders

 from a Featured Card

Pink and blue handmade Christmas cards created with Spellbinders Shapeabilities “Christmas Joy” and “Christmas Blooms” dies. Pink and blue florals from the Christmas Blooms die are layered onto matted pink, white, and blue cardstock, resting on gold foiling created with the Spellbinders Stitched Joy Die against a flat blue background.


Behind the Featured Card and More

After loving the blue versions of these cards—which I shared in a previous post—I decided to try one in pink, and I loved it just as much. This time, however, I used the Spellbinders Stitched Joy Die to create the background. I purchased this die quite some time ago by accident and never used it, as hand stitching isn’t something I usually include in my cards.

It had been sitting in my “to sell” pile until I pulled it out again to experiment with foiling. I think it worked surprisingly well—perhaps not quite as striking as the “Christmas Joy” die—but I was glad I gave it a whirl. I may even die-cut it properly and create at least one stitched card before deciding whether to sell it
